Catching Fire Defying the Capitol
In
the book Catching Fire there are many acts of defiance towards President Snow. Act
of defiance is a daring or bold resistance to authority or an opposing force;
an act that challenges of power. Some people in the book that are defiance are
Katniss, Peeta ,Cinna and the tributes.
Katniss
hangs a dummy with Seneca Cranes name on it for her private session . Katniss
knows Senec died as a result of her actons in the games she is reminding snow
that she beat the system last time. On page 212 Katniss did it to show “them
that im more then just a piece of their games”. This shows that she is done
letting the game makers and snow control her.
Peeta
paints Rue with her body covered with flowers from the first games . This will remi
nd snow, the gamemakers they are responsibly for Rues death. On page 240 Peeta
did it to show “I just wanted wanted to hold them accountable , if only for a
moment”.
The
tributes in their interviews , they question the logality of the games . They
say snow could stop the games but wont. They are blaming Snow on live television
. They are turning the capitol citizen against Snow . On page 251 Seeder said
it “quietly ruminates abour how back in district 11 everyonr assumes president
Snow is all powerful . so if he is so powerful why doesn’t he change the Quell?” Seeder only said this because he wants to
change or stop the QuarterQuell.
Cinna
turned katniss’s wedding dress that snow picked out into a mockingjay .He
turned her dress into a symbol of the rebellion. The dress back fired on the
capitol. On page 253 “a shadow of recognition flickers across Caesars face and I
can tell he knows that the mockingjay isn’t just a token . It come to a
symbolize so much more “ Cinna did it to show president Snow the mockingjay is
still a symbol o love.
In
conclusion , I think Cinna was more defiant towards president snow because he
turned katniss wedding dress into a mockingjay. A symbol of love still.
