How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Hunger Games.
Quote #4
EFFIE: A dramatic turn of events here in District 12. Yes, well. District 12's very first volunteer. Bring her up.
Effie's talking like a sports broadcaster here: putting a spin on Katniss's sacrifice for the cameras. Everything's packaged, everything's commented on, all in the name of spinning a story out of the reality unfolding before the cameras.

HAYMITCH: I don't know how else to put this: Make sure they remember you.
Television is a harsh medium. You need to be interesting if you want to hold people's attention In the Hunger Games, holding their attention means staying alive.
Quote #6
CAESAR: And this moment here, this moment is a moment that you never forget. The moment when a Tribute becomes a victor.
We wonder how many times this particular clip has been shown. Caesar treats the image of one boy murdering another so passively, like it's no big deal. The more you see of such images on the TV, the less it affects you.
