The Hunger Games-- Berries (Part 2)

Dande:
What did you guys think of the whole berry thing, at the end?

Laughs

Chair:
Oh, that was funny.

Newhope:
I'm pretty sure the Gamemakers were feeling pretty stupid right then.

Chair:
It's like, you're the smartest person in the Games?!?

O'Juice:
To me, that was a bit like... are you serious? That's so stupid, that's so soap opera right there.

Dande:
But it was smart too! That's the whole thing, a soap opera, but that's why they won, because the Games are supposed to be a soap opera or something.

Smiley:
But why do the Games need a winner?

O'Juice:
They don't want it to be like they're just having Games so they can kill all these children-

Smiley:
But that's what they do! It makes no sense!

Newhope:
The Capitol should have just killed Peeta off right then.

Chair:
See, what they were doing though, is they wanted to make it the big dramatic fight between the two star-crossed lovers, see which one of them kills each other, and if all else fails, declare them both winners so we have one.

Dande:
They needed to have a winner because if they didn't have a winner everyone would get all upset and angry and revolt! But... who cares if they revolt? They can just kill them. I guess maybe they didn't want them to revolt because then they'd loose money, because they wouldn't be working...

Walle:
But I don't think the people in the districts would revolt, I think the actual population of the Capitol would revolt, because they would say it wasn't fair. Because even though this is entertainment I think that they too have some soft of-

Dande:
You're right, I didn't really think about the people in the Capitol, I guess they're still people.

Newhope:
I wouldn't really give them too much credit, to be quite honest. They're surgically altering their bodies and stuff, just for fun.

O'Juice:
Don't people do that now?

Newhope:
But not on this large scale.

Walle:
Maybe they still have a heart, though.

Newhope:
Maybe that might pop up in book 2, that will probably happen.

Dande:
Do you know what I think was totally for book 2? That thing with the mute servant.

Chorus of agreement

Newhope:
Nothing develops at all. You just learn about it, and that's it.

Dande:
Maybe some of the people have a heart, like the make-up guy or whatever...

Jolly:
I liked him. He was awesome.

Dande:
And what about like the interviewer guy? Was he really trying to help people?

Chair:
I don't know what was with him.

Dande:
What did you guys think of the interviews? That was an interesting part of the book for me.

O'Juice:
It was kind of stupid, how she's giggling and turning around, saying, "Look at my dress! It's so cool!" I thought: shut up.

Chair:
"You know I'm going to die tomorrow, right?"
