Panem Map - generalized
Rue's touching death scene.
A cama of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes,
And when tu awake, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm,
Here the daisies guard tu from harm,
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true,
Here is the place where I amor you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away,
A capa of leaves, A moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay,
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard tu from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true,
Here is the place where I amor you.
'I remember when you sang in the music assembly and the teacher said, 'Who knows 'The Valley Song''? and you hand shot straight up!'
This is just a joke. Don't take it seriously! I amor HG and (most) of these characters! Oh and there might be spoilers, so be careful if tu haven't read up till Mockingjay!
President Snow- Making young children kill each other is totally fine.
Peeta- Don't tell the girl that tu amor about your feelings for her, until tu have to kill her.
Mrs. Everdeen- It's fine to blank out on your kids and leave them to fend for themselves. Who cares if your husband died? Just don't take care of your kids and it will be okay.
Gale- Creating a bomb that kills your best friend's little sister is perfectly fine, as long as tu get your way (which involves killing the entire country)
Katniss- It's okay to break the laws and sell squirrels to the baker whose son tu have to kill, and whose wife vistas tu as trash.
Cinna- It's totally okay to set your clients on fire, then make them hold hands and pretend to be in amor before they have to kill each other.

Basically, the main reason I like Katniss is because she is a refreshingly realistic, flawed character.
