The Games are on again and my Dad is all riled up. He keeps rambling on and on about how terrible the conditions are in the Districts and how someone should do something to stop the killing of children on live television. I don't get it, I mean I've seen the news footage of the Districts, we all see how skinny and underfed the people are every year when the reaping is on television but what can we do about it? The Capitol already gives people in the Districts tesserae and it's still not enough to keep them fed. They shouldn't be living off of handouts from us anyway; they just need to work harder. It's not like the Games are going to stop anyway too many people are getting rich from them and it's a huge part of the economy in the Capitol. People pay for tickets to the Tribute Parade, restaurants and hotels are full for weeks around the Training Center, the amount of money made from gambling alone could feed dozens of families for years! No, the Games aren't going to stop so it's better to just ignore them if you don't enjoy them because nothing is going to change. Anyway it really doesn't affect me or anyone that I know so why get worked up over a television show?
