This is to all the people living in the Capitol:

Do you know what it feels like to lose a beloved friend?

Can you imagine the pain you have to suffer from when you lose your own child, sister or brother?

What it is like to have to watch them fight for their life without being able to help them?

No?

Well, but we can. We- the people living in the districts – have to fear these feelings every year.

It is horrible enough to lose a friend but if you also have to watch him dying - that is even more dreadful.

We have to see how our family members turn into killers – how they kill and get killed.

Every year we will be reminded of their death and will never be able to let them go.

We cannot do anything against that.

But you can!

Unlike us you are not forced to watch the hunger games!

It is your own choice to watch the games and that is why you are one of the kids' murderers! 

If you did not watch the games, they would not exist anymore.

If you helped us to protect the life of a little child, he might grow up and live a normal life.

If you raised your voice against President Snow, he would not be able to oppress us this way any longer.

Every little step can change something!

Therefore, I – the girl on fire – beg you:

Stop watching the huger games and start being good human!
