Defying the capitol

Karisma wright

Period 7

In class we are reading catching fire and talking about defiance. Defiance is a daring or bold resistance to authority or an opposing force; an act that challenges power.

On page 236-237 Katniss in her private session with the game makers. She hung a dummy with Seneca Crane. The old game maker was killed because Katniss out smarted him. She is sending a message that he could be next. On page 236, “Do you have any idea how much I hate you? You who have given your talents to the game.”

On page 204 in Peeta’s private training session he painted a picture of Rue’s body covered in flowers from the last game. He is reminding the game makers that they killed the little girl. He is treating Rue with respect and snow didn’t want that. On page 256, the capitol reacts. “Even the most capitol loving, blood thirsty person can’t ignore… how horrible the whole thing is.”

During the tributes interviews they talk trash about snow and the games. They said snow could stop the games if he really wanted to. They are turning the capitol citizens against president snow. The capitol citizens are demanding a change. On page 251, Chaff insist “the president could change the Quell if he wanted to but he must not think it matters much to anyone”.

Cinna turns the wedding dress that snow demanded Katniss wear, into a mocking jay. He turned her into a symbol of rebellion. He was promoting the rebel cause. On page 253, Katniss wonders “what has he done? Something terribly dangerous.” She knows president snow will not ignore this.

In conclusion I think Katniss is the most defiant because snow is already out to kill her and she is always in or causing trouble.
