Catching Fire: Defying the Capitol

In the book Catching Fire there are a few characters that do "acts of rebellion". In the following paragraphs I will be talking about of a few of them.

Well first off we will start with Katniss. She shows to be rebelling against the capitol in the following form. She wanted to "break through the smug veneer of those who use their brains to find amusing ways to kill. To make them realize that while (they) were vulnerable to the Capitol's cruelties they are as well."

Now an "act of rebellion" that Peeta did was that he said that Katniss was pregnant during the interview. Text evidence that supports my idea is on Pg. 256 and it says "If it weren't for the baby."

For the tributes an "act of rebellion" would be that they all held hands in unity as it is stated on Pg. 258. "Then it happens up and down the row. The victors begin to join hands."

Now last but not least an example of an "act or defiance" for Cinna would be that he turns the wedding dress Snow designed into a mockingjay. This is stated on Pg. 252 "Because Cinna has turned me into a mockinjay.


In conclusion these are all great examples of defiance. In my opinion I would say that the one President Snow finds the most defiant would be the tributes holding hands because their point is for each district to hate each other and not be together. But their plan isn't working.
