Cruelty

Cruelty can come in many forms. The one most present in The Hunger Games is that of unfairness. The capitol keeps everyone in districts. No way to talk to one another or to even know what happens in the other districts. The only time anyone gets to know about the districts is the games because two people from every district are put together and they can learn a lot about each district just by the way they are built and their personalities. They only way that the information can be told is by winning the games otherwise you aren’t alive to share it. The capitol also starves people in districts where their jobs don’t matter as much as the jobs in other districts. They see no need to help anyone because they believe they did it to themselves when districts turned on the capitol. That was many years ago but they still believe that all should be punished even if they weren’t even alive yet. The capitol wants to feel in control over them which they are completely. Since they are, the capitol makes sure they know it by having cameras and forcing them to be encaged in a certain area against the peoples will and the biggest one of all choosing two members of each district every year to fight for a their district for almost no reason but entertainment. This all just shows how crazy and cruel the capitol is to the people that just want to stay alive.  251
