What is desensitization (define it in your own words) AND how did the author express this topic in the novel?
(Possible answer): Desensitization is to make someone less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images. Suzanne Collins expresses this through the Capitol-sponsored Hunger Games event, which is mandatory viewing for all the citizens of Panem. The Capitol audience treats the tributes as forms of entertainment rather than actual human beings. Because it isn’t their own children who are killed, they feel no compassion toward the district children. Even the tributes are desensitized, or at least do not allow themselves to be sensitive toward one another. The Career tributes actually train for the event.
500
She injures Katniss by throwing a knife at her & hitting her in the forehead; she is almost successful at killing Katniss
Clove
500
Why does the Capitol allow Cato to suffer all night?
It's providing entertainment for the Capitol citizens. If he died quickly or painlessly, it would not be an exciting ending. It is also prolonging the length of the Hunger Games.

Pick one theme from The Hunger Games. Give Ms. Bolognini 2 pieces of evidence from the text (2 events in the story) to show how that theme is extended. Remember, a theme is an opinion statement. We can think of theme like the advice we'd give a character who has a problem.
Examples: Katniss has to take a risk to survive. She cuts down the tracker jacker nest and she goes to the Cornucopia to get her backpack. The capitol will do anything to put on a show for the Capitol citizens. They are willing to kill other people's children and make the poor citizens have more chances at the reaping just to get food.
