Hope + Rebellion - Hope breeds rebellion, if you have hope you have the motivation to rebel. 

- HOPE The belief that something will get better - REBELLION to fight against something in order to make the change to be better.  (Protest , Uprise, usually against the image of power) 

Symbols of hope - Katniss, Melodic motive, Mockingjay, three-finger salute, two victors, 

Struggle for power - with privilege comes power. 

The capitol has power (President snow) Katniss is becoming a threat to snow as he is loosening the reins of snows power over panem - People look up to katniss for guidance giving her more power, katniss becomes a threat because snow sees her as one. "Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous." - president snow

FEAR - People are afraid of rebelling, because of the consequences of an uprising in the past.  When the rebellion was lost to the capitol they were punished with the hunger games and district 13 the leaders of the protest was destroyed. 

LITTLE HOPE - Surviving by becoming the victor, being bathed in riches and being presented with the privilage of a normal life. 

DANGEROUS HOPE - That all victors will join together and win as one, therfore the districts deserve to be treated better 

Power of propaganda - Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view. - Message being told, It's not worth rebelling, capitol is strongest, the structure of Panem under the capitols control brings peace and balance. 

LANGUAGED USED - "peacekeepers" Someone who keeps the peace - soldiers who brutally/violently force structure in society. look like stormtroopers to mark them as a nameless soldiers who can't take blame. 

"Victor" Someone who wins, becomes respected, and is wealthy and lucky - A violent murderer who was living off the lives of 23 other people. Live with trauma and guilt. 

"Fallen" 

Propaganda - People who die in the games Takes the brutal reality of the situation (Paints a softer picture of people falling rather than being brutally murdered in the unnecessary games.) It suggests something more peaceful rather than violent. 

Reality - Teenagers/Children who have been killed or murdered/ Very violent 

"Tribute" 

Propaganda - Two brave young people, An honor to be selected as a tribute - and honor to die, 

Reality - Is a sacrifice and a punishment to the districts for rebelling.

Rich vs Poor - People in the capitol vs people in the districts - Compare opening shot in 12 vs peta looking out the window of the capitol - 

District 12 - Poor, Houses are made of wood and scraps (Not in good condition), Very little food available *See old man picking at a bone*, 1 pair of good clothing for the reaping, Other clother are worn, faded, grey and black clothing as easier to look cleaner aka to not show coal dust, 

Capitol - Houses are large and modern design, have metal and materials available for housing. Food - have a variety of food available to choose from - more than enough excess, Clothing is colourful, extravagant and fashionable there is excess. 

Hope + Rebellion - Covo between president snow + senica craine - a little hope quote, Convo between Hamich and senica = give them something to root for *Distract them* aka young love 

Struggle for power - Katniss + Peta's double suicide attempt in the arena with berries. The death of rue = Riot in district 11 

Power of propaganda - Subtle. Hunger games film at the beginning of reaping.
