The Cruelty of the Games

What do you believe is the cruelest part of the Hunger Games? What kind of people would create such an event in which people kill each other for entertainment?

  1. I think the cruelest part would have to be the blood bath. When they all fight over the supplies and almost all of the people just die in that. People who like others to suffer would create such an event. I don't think watching people die is a fun thing.

  2. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games definatly has to be seeing children around your age killing each other in order for them to live and forcing people to watch. People don't like to see others die and most of all they hate to see people who have cruel deaths to those who have only had a little time to live.

  3. And people who are cruel and don't understand the grief that people go through watching their childen die right before their eyes and can do nothing to protect them.

  5. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games would be to force teenagers into a arena to kill each other. The people in the capitol are bad people to create this game for fun. The people in the capitol have no hearts to think about what the tributes parents an siblings have to go through watching their son/daughter or brother/sister fight to the death in a arena just for entertainment, that is awful.

  6. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games would be watching people kill you friends and/or killing them yourself. This is the Capitol's why in saying "we own you!". I think the Capitol finds this entertainment amusing by the fact that kids are killing eachother for no reason other than to live. The people in the Capitol have something wrong in their head to think that murdering is fun.

  7. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games is that how many games there were and out of those 73 games only 1 of each survived. Intotal of 73 games with 1,752 people only 73 survived. So in all if you were in the Hunger Games you only have about a 4% chance of winning. Also that the purpose of all this is for ammusment makes the games even worse.

  8. I truly think that the cruelest part of the Hunger Games is forcing practically kids to kill 23 other people in an arena full of danger made by the Capitol's Gamemakers. Sick and cold blooded humans invented this game for their own amusement which is just 100 percent wrong. Personally I wouldn't want to watch a friend, neighbor, or even someone from my family get severly sick or hurt while playing this disturbing game or even getting killed.

  9. I think the cruelest thing about the Hunger Games is definetely watching children ages 12-18 kill each other until their own death. Also having your faith of being picked to go against the other 23 tributes and not knowing how strong the others are. The people, I think, made the Hunger Games were the people who have no heart for children. They are so weird. I personally wouldn't want to see the Hunger Games live or be part of them.

  10. I think the cruelest part of the Hunger Games is forcing people to murder other people. Forcing any living human being is wrong, and forcing them to enter a compettion to the death, is just beyond cruel. The people who created the games are probably really mad about the acts of rebellion against the Capitol. They also probably didn't put themselvesw in their shoes, so they don't know how it feels to be scared, hungery, thirsty, or on death's bed. It is a sick, twisted game to prove that the Capitol is in charge and that no one has the power to stand up to them.

    1. I 100% agree. I think that it is inhumane to force another human-being to kill someone. The Capitol only does this to stop acts of rebellion and show the districts who has the power. The people of the Capitol don't understand what they are putting these people through.

  11. I think the cruelest part of the Hunger Games would have to be the killing part. This is the cruelest part because you are getting sent to a arena to kill each other. Just thinking about me going to basiclly a competion of death, just scares me.

    1. I also agree with you Gina. Going to an arena to fight till the death scares me too. Then you are also forced to go.

  12. I think the cruelest part is making them kill one another. I think this is the worst because it really isnt right to put people in the middle of nowhere to fight to the death to prove the capitol is supreme to others. No one does this to actual people that i can think of. But some people do it with dogs. They throw them is arenas and make them fight to the death.

  13. I think the cruelest part is that the capitol puts them in the arena to fight to the death and that most people watch and don't do anything about it. I think it is wrong that the people living in the capitol have so much money then they don't even give money to help them also people in the districts are forced to watch! I think that is the cruelest thing in the hunger games.

  14. The cruelest part about the Hunger Games is having the game makers and the capitol, forcing little kids and teenagers to in and arena having to kill one another and also given no food at all unless they hunt it or get sponsors to get gifts. The people in the capitol are sick mindless people to make them fight to the death. Also the kids that go into the games have family that are sad and hoping for their child to win and be able to come back and be with them.

  15. I think that the cruelest part of the Hunger Games is the Gamemakers. They can purposely go wacko on stuff like the conditions to make the tributes suffer. In opinion of the Capitol, their crazy citizens decide that killing people is right even though they cant put 2 and 2 together like a caveman to put themselves in that situation. Those are my 2 reasons why the Hunger Games are cruel.

  16. I think the cruelest part is finding the things to survive such as water, food, and ect. even if they send you food or water it is not enough to last you long and you have the risk of it getting stolen

  17. I think the cruelest part is that people watch the Hunger Games for entertainment. It think sick people or messed up people would do this to young kids. They need to be kids, and not going into an arena were u kill eachother.

  18. I think the cruelest part of the Hunger Games is that you literally have to kill innocent people that have done nothing to you. To have that guilt stuck in your head would be to overwhelming for me. The capitol must have a different perspective of the games in their mind because they think that doing this to teenagers is the right thing to do, which clearly it is not.

  19. I think that there are many cruel things in the HG, but this one tops them all. The Gamemakers have 24 lives at their hands and they are sick enough to just let them die. They set up all the traps in the arena; then watch them kill innocent children. Also, they are crazed enough to even persuade the children to get together and kill each other. The whole "Games" is very non-human like.

  20. i think that the curelest part of the book was when Rue died. I think it's the worst part because she was so young and inasent. Rue never really got to live her life. The other reason is because she was calling for help then the boy through the spear into her, and she died slowly.

  21. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games is that you have to kill your opponets. If you do not kill your opponets you die. I think people who like this form of entertainment play too much war games. I do not like the idea of killing people for a living because it tells people it is okay to be violent.

  22. I think that the fighting is the worst part of the games because some of the tributes are very strong (especially the careers) and can put up a good fight. I think that those are the ones that most people think will win.

  23. i think the crulest part of the games is the fighting to the death. the people that watch the hunger games think that the careers will most likely win because they practice for it. the people think that it is ok to kill people just to win something thats wrong i think.

  24. I think that the cruelest part of the games is having the peopel kill each other for entertainment. I think that nobody should ever force one another to do something like this. This would be unforgivable I think because it isn't right to have people killing each other for fun. This is a very cruel idea and I think that Katniss should keep on going against it to try and prevent it.

  25. I think the cruelest part of the hunger games is that they have 24 tributes and only 1 (or two with the rule change) can come out of them. Especially with the twelve year old kids in the games. That is way to young in my opinion to be forced to kill and watch others die.I think the capitol is made up of cruel people. Enjoying the deaths of others and forcing the districts to watch their children die.

  26. I think the crulest part is making kids that age fight to the death and then having the parents watch. I would hate to be in the Hunger Games knowing I could be killed at any second. Also there is no one there to protect you so the 12 year olds have alot of stress. This is all for the Capitol too, no body else enjoys it.

  27. I think that the cruelest part of the games is the fact the gamemakers get to control the arena. The basically get to decide who wins and it isn't a true survival match. Also, just the killing is horrible. Who thinks it is fun to watch innocent kids kill each other. Killing is just so wrong and the fact that the capitol treats it as a sport makes it worse. Maybe the Capitol just likes entertainment so much, they'll do anything for it.

  28. I think the cruelest part of The Hunger Games is that people have to kill each other for there own life. It is also terrible that people watch the games for entertainment. In fact they find it amusing to watch someone get killed or watch someone suffer. I feel that the people who make The Hunger Games don't know what love is. The games show mostly love, hatred, and passion.

  29. I think the cruelest part in The Hunger Games would be what the Gamemakers do during the games. They dont really care. They will send anything in the arena to make a good show when nothing happens. Then everybody just watches people die because of the Gamemakers.

  30. The fact that people have to kill others and the gamemakers. The gamemakers will do anything to keep people watching.While watching people kill others maybe entertaining to some, but imagin families losin daughter's or son's. Only people that bearly have a soul would create a game of killing till the last on standing.

  31. I think that the cruelest part would be just the fact that 12 to 18 year olds are put in an arena to kill each other. These are people who should still be in school not killing eachother. I think that the people who run the games don't have a humane bone in their body.

  32. the cruelest part of the hunger games was when rue died. watching the youngest kindest most inocent one of all die. rue was a caring young girl who didnt kill anybody. marvel killed her just to get back at katniss and stabbed her right in front of kattniss. it was so inhumane to kill her the way he did.

  33. The curelest part of the hunger games is the big picture that was created. The districts have to give things to the capital, follow there rules, and give tributes to the hunger games.This is way over the top. The districts are like there slaves and the fact that they created the hunger games doesn't surprize me at all. They are some of the cruelest people on the planet and remind me of the nazis.

  34. i think the cruelest part of the hungergames is letting all of these people die and to watch then starve and become severly injured.

  35. I think the cruelest thing about the Hunger Games is the blood bath, because that is where most of the tributes die and fight over supplies. Also I think another thing that is very cruel is that there are people from the age of 12-18 so people around our age, but there are 23 other tributes that are fighting to the DEATH! That is crazy the way that some of the people act because they just go on a killing spree and don't care they only want to win.

  36. They Cruelest part of the Hunger Games is the Hunger Games. Kid shouldnt be put in the Hunger Games to fight to the death until there is a victor. And if there is a victor they are hated by all the other districts for killing there children. There is no winning in the hunger games.

  37. I think the capitol should be introduced to video games because you can do all the killing you want and no one in the actual world will get hurt. I agree with Cheyenne. The cruelest part of the Hunger games IS the blood bath. If your child is from one of the weaker districts the odds AREN'T in your favor that your child is going to survive. This is why the capitol has the blood bath battle so that the interesting people are left standing.

    I agree, the cruelest part is innocent children killing each other.Could you imagine a 12 year old killing 23 other people just to stay alive ?. Even so, It is kill or be killed
