Hey followers! Today, instead of presenting a prediction or asking a question about my choice book, I'd like to depict a very sly conversation between President Snow and Katniss. This chapter made me think so much that I had to read it more than once. I found key sentences to prove my reasoning (that he is lying). I hope you agree with me. This connection almost made me have a debate with myself!
Before, even reading this chapter you get Katniss' perspective on Snow. That he is a ruthless, untrustworthy, and sneaky person. Whenever he pops up in the book you make a bitter face since he is mostly the cause of all Katniss' problems. That first puts you in a postion to not fall for any word that comes out of his repulsing mouth.
But there are lines that he said that made me think twice about. For example, here's a quote from the chapter: "And there is no reason for me to destroy a pen full of Capitol children." Well, he would do it anyway during the Hunger Games gladly. The fact that there Capitol children might trick you. But in the previous chapter, Capitol children were bombed by parachutes. Rebel medics and assistants (including Prim) came into help them but then where bombed as well. If the had they would've had the chance to save them, wouldn't they favor the rebels more now? That there own group won't even help them in desperate times? And then you have to think again. Has the Capitol ever been simpathetic or helpful in this book. The answer is no. Another reason to not trust President Snow. Also, I wanted to show you this quote. "I'm sure he wasn't gunning for your sister, but these things happen." He was about to create a big chance that Prim would die in the Hunger Games. Thanks to Katniss, she volunteered to be victor in the Games instead.
There would almost be no conflict in this book if it weren't for Snow. That why this conversation makes me confused. Its hard to believe someone like this and how there are two sides to his statements. Thanks for reading!
