Cornucopia Bloodbatch Research Paper

487 Words2 Pages

The 74th hunger games was a truly gruesome event this year after having many of the contestants die at what people have called the “Cornucopia bloodbath” The leftovers were a significantly smaller roster then in past years but exactly who were these contestants or more importantly who was the sly little fox of District 5?
District 5 known for its main export of solar power, may have had a treasure in its midst with a young 15 year old girl known only as “Foxface,” (Mainly due to her sly fox-like appearance and elusive behaviour.) Who survived the games using only her wit, speed and most importantly her ability to hide while the others died. That was until she ate some very poisonous “Nightlock” berries, most people have assumed it was by accident but there is heavy speculation against this most saying that it was actually…suicide. This thought was provoked by the fact that during training she was said to have the fastest time on matching which berries were poisonous and which were not, Nightlock berries being on that list. …show more content…

Why did the fox decide to give up when she looked to have every chance of winning? Well, Hunger games’ chief medical examiner shared some very surprising news late last night that had shed some light on the mysterious death. “Her body was severely emaciated, even if she did win she would not have survived much longer.” Well, there it is, if it’s not clear by now this means that the fox simply wasn’t sly enough. Foxface had failed to calculate just how much food she would need, so while her genius plan of taking “just enough to not be noticed” actually ended up being her undoing. Which means in the end, no matter how sly the fox was she simply wasn’t strong enough to survive with the

  • Allusion To The Story Of Theseus And The Minotaur

    133 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Book and Movie, The Hunger Games, is an allusion to The story of Theseus and the Minotaur from Greek Mythology. The story goes that Minos, the king of Crete, once sent his only son on a visit to Athens, and he was sent by the Athenian king to fight a bull. When the boy died from the fight, the angry Minos captured Athens and declared that he would destroy it unless they completed his bizarre demand: once every nine years, the Athenians had to send a tribute of seven maidens and seven youths, who would then be forced to confront the Minotaur, who would devour them. This directly parallels the story of The Hunger Games. This rewritten version of an old Greek legend shows a theme of how history can repeat itself.

  • Argumentative Essay: The Hunger Games

    1153 Words  | 5 Pages

    The twelve districts in theory should view the Hunger Games as the necessary tool that keeps Panem from uprising and self-destruction, however, the reception of the Games in the really poor districts clearly shows that the Capitol cannot reform them to think so. Statistically, the poor districts are always the most likely to lose one year’s competition because they lack resources to train tributes and their children are starving. Therefore, the response to the Hunger Games in the poor districts who are on the brink of starvation is the most dramatic. Citizens of districts such as 11 and 12 can only view the Games as injustice because once a child is chosen at the Reaping he or she is evidently doomed to die. There are rare exceptions as the

  • Dystopian Themes In The Hunger Games

    827 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Hunger Games trilogy revolves around universal dystopian themes such as :oppression, rebellion, class tension as well as appearance vs. reality ," Collins creates the world that on one hand seems quite improbable and extreme, but on the other, vividly reflects some specific issues in a real world, like social inequalities, ignorance and passivity of the people" (Macanić 7). Oppression is perhaps the most common and prevalent dystopian theme as it serves as a warning against a highly probable dark future through shedding light on the dark side of contemporary trends such as advanced technology and reality TV-shows .The Capitol 's oppression operates on two levels; districts and individuals. The districts in general and districts 11 and 12 in particular have suffered great injustices at the ruthless hands of the Capitol ; however, there is no greater injustice than The Hunger Games themselves not only are the people of Panem forced to surrender their children as tributes for the Capitol 's citizens viewing pleasure for a crime they had no hand in committing ,but they are also forced to watch helplessly as their children are killed in the most brutal of manners .In Catching Fire (2009) , President Snow decrees that " the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors" in order to get rid of Katniss once and for all ,and to further assert the Capitol 's dominance and quell any thoughts of rebellion(172).
