Did certain parts make you feel uncomfortable? if so, why?

 Some of the scenes that make me feel slightly uncomfortable are the times where people died. A scene that sticks out takes place in district 11, home of Katniss’ friend and ally in the hunger games, Rue. This tragic part happens during the victory tour shortly after Peeta and Katniss make their speech, thanking them for their tributes. When the speech ends and old man starts to whistle the tune that Rue used in the arena to tell Katniss that she was safe. The song acts as a signal, and everyone salutes Katniss using the same gesture that she used to say farewell to Rue. As this is happening Katniss is taken away, but not before she out of view she sees Peacekeepers shoot the whistling man in the head. This part in the novel makes me feel upset and a little uncomfortable because an innocent man was murdered for doing a thoughtful thing. I know a lot of this takes place in the Hunger Games trilogy, however this specific scene sticks out in my mind because I really don’t think he should have been killed for the gesture he performed. It meant a lot to Katniss. 

President Snow

Another part of the novel that makes my stomach sink is when President Snow announces the Quarter Quell in which Katniss and Peeta will be heading back to the arena to compete in their second hunger games.
