On page 70 of Hunger Games, Effie Trinket says, "But I've done my best with what I had to work with.How Katniss sacrificed herself for her sister. How you've both successfully struggled to overcome the barbarism of your district." Why does Katniss find this statement to be ironic?

Answer:

Katniss sees the capital as barbaric

Step-by-step explanation:

Katniss has a distaste for the capital so when Effie says that her district is "barbaric" she believes it's ironic when the capital holds the hunger games each year and they kill 11 teens for entertainment.
