The Hunger Games-- Names

Dande:
Jolly, didn't you want to talk about Peeta's name?

Jolly:
That really annoyed me. It's lame.

Walle:
Isn't that a type of bread?

Newhope:
That's why they named him that way, because he's the baker's son.

O'Juice:
You're a baker, you name your son after bread?

Newhope:
And if you're in the forest, your name is Katniss after a plant! Make's sense!

Laughs

O'Juice:
That's so cool.

Newhope:
And if you work with jewels, you get named Glimmer.

Jolly:
Yeah, that's pretty lame. The ridiculous stuff they name them in the rich Districts.

Jolly:
I think they should have let us hear each person's interview, because it's kind of annoying to keep track of who's dead and who's not.

Chair:
Half of these people don't even have names.

Dande:
I think she didn't want to talk more about it because she didn't want to slow down the book, she wanted to make the book fast.

Walle:
Also, I don't think she wanted the people to have an emotional connection to the person, because once you know their name, you sort of get to know them a bit more.

Dande:
But the whole book is supposed to be gruesome and people dying...

Jolly:
I think she should have at least nicknamed them, like she did with Foxface.

Dande:
Did Foxface ever get a real name?

Laughs

Chair:
No, she was just Foxface.
