Because if the capitol wasn't in power over everyone, People would be free, and they wouldn't have to go through the hunger games and the Reaping.
The reaping is an event that happens in the town square of each district, in which 2 tributes are chosen from the ages of 12-18 ~ one male, one female ~ to go and fight to the death in an outdoor arena. One thing about this that really angers Katniss is that the whole event is televised, so every person in every district can watch it. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss's little sister, Prim, is chosen as female tribute, but Katniss volunteers for her. The male tribute reaped is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son.
first i think u mean where do all the hunger games tributes live? and they first live on a train for each district and then when the actual hunger games start they live in a forest. ---- Sara
Katniss saves Prim from the reaping by volunteering to go into the arena instead of her little sister.Really, Katniss saves Prim from the Hunger Games, not the reaping. When Prim's name was called to come onto the stage so she would be announced as a tribute, Katniss was pulled back into memories. Katniss couldn't stand the thought of Prim going into the Hunger Games, she loved her so much. So Katniss volunteered to take Prim's place, and Prim was saved.
24 tributes. 2 from each district. 1 boy and 1 girl.
