Hunger Games Amedment

Fighting back
Symbol of Rebellion
8th amendment
Reasons
Imagine that you are starving in the poorest area. You are desperate to feed your family. Yous steal a loaf of bread, but get caught. You are put on the whipping post. You are then whipped until you are about to die. You would be angry and you might want to revolt and you might even convince others to fight with you.
If you are kinder to the people in the districts then they will be less likely to revolt. In colonial america, the British were treating the colonist very badly by putting unfair taxes and making them do things they didn't want to do. Because the colonist were upset, they began to revolt against the British.
In the book, when Katniss was talking about the punishment that could happen to her every day when she was hunting,it definitely made me dislike the capitol. I disliked the capitol because they didn't give the people enough food and then punished them when they tried to get it themselves. If they gave the people enough food then they wouldn't have to punish them harshly.
