When Katniss and Peeta decide to eat poison berries rather than fight and kill each other, the announcer Claudius Templesmith stops them and announces that they can both be winners after all.

Explain why they did this, and why the Capitol felt it had to stop them. What did this moment show readers about Katniss's and Peeta's characteristics? What theme (moral or message) does this part of the story hint at?

Explain in a paragraph of at least 4 complete sentences.

They claim to have done it out of love, and it may have seemed like a rash desicion however they did it out of rebellion to the snow king. They know that if there is no winner people will be against the hunger games. Their actions lead to a mass rebellion against the king to overthroigh the central government which is exactly what they wanted. The8r philosophy was simple. you can have no winner and ris retaliation... Or you can have a controversial two.

Answer:

they did it out of love. they loved each other and developed a bond. they had been through so much together that they couldn't even imagine life without each other, so the capitol felt like they had to stop them because they were breaking the rules that they had made. the message of this story is to take care of one another and love them. your welcome, and hope this makes your day just a little bit better. ;)
