“hunger plays a crucial role in the lives of the Capitol citizens: they organize their lives around satisfying their complex desires just as surely as Katniss and Gale Hawthorne have organized their lives around satisfying their more basic hungers and keeping their families from starvation.” HungerKatniss EverdeenHunger GamesHunger Games PhilosophyGale HawthorneThe Capitol Author:Christina Van Dyke

"I had just had my eyebrows dyed!" "I swear I nearly fainted!" Everything is about them, not the dying boys and girls in the arena'.” SelfishnessKatniss EverdeenHunger GamesHunger Games PhilosophySelf FocusedThe Capitol Author:Christina Van Dyke
