Defiance in Catching Fire


  Defiance is an act that is an opposing force. In short it means to go against something. In the book, Catching Fire, there are many acts of defiance. Here are 4 ways of defiance in the book.

        On page 242 of Catching Fire during Katniss has here private session hung a dummy of Senieca Crane. Katniss did it to “show them that I’m more than a piece in there games.” This shows she’s done letting the Game makers and Snow control her. She wants to remind Snow that she beat the system last year.

        Another act of defiance was when Peeta painted Rue’s body covered in flowers from his 1st games. This was on pg. 240. In the book it says” Actually, I painted a picture of Rue, Peeta says”. This is an act of defiance because he is reminding Snow and the Game makers they are responsible for her death in the last games.

        Another example of defiance was when the tributes from each district held hands in unity. This was on page 258 it says,” Up and down the row, the victors began to join hands”. This was meant to be an act of defiance because Snow wants the tributes to be enemies. The capital sees them as humans not a piece in there games.

        The 3rd act of defiance was when Cinna turned the beautiful wedding dress, Snow picked out, and turned it into a mocking jay. He made the dress by adding wings and when she turns around she turn on fire. He did that because last year she was the girl on fire. This is an act of defiance because the dress back fired on the capital. This was on page 252 and it says,” I lift my long, flowing sleeves into the air, and that’s when I see myself on the television screen. Clothed in black except for the white patches on my sleeves. Or should I say wings. Because Cinna has turned me into a mocking jay.”
        In conclusion I think the most defiant act in these 4 was when the tributes held hands in unity. This is the most defiant because they have enjoyed seeing tem kill each other in the games. No the citizens see that they should stop the Games
