Who was your favorite of the other tributes (besides Katniss and Peeta)? Did you think Rue was the best, or (like one of my friends) have something of an obsession with Foxface? What about Thresh, Cato and Clove?
I have trouble remembering which tributes come from where, but I did like Rue, and I thought the way Foxface died was very creative.

Well, Rue would have to be my favorite, out of all of the others. (At least, if we're just talking about tributes in the 74th Hunger Games.) Clove and Cato would probably be my second and third favorites, respectively.

Rue would definitely be my favourite. She reminds me so much of my best friend's little sister.
Though I love Foxface as well.

My favorite was the crippled boy from 10. Honestly, the moment she said he had an injured leg- I was like "BAM, found my favorite."
I didn't care anything for Katniss/Peeta, so I found interest in the other tributes, including Thresh and Marvel. I did think Cato was interesting, just not brilliant enough to fangirl over.
Crippled boy will always be my favorite.

Foxface really intrigued me. I really want to know her name, her story, where she came from. I would love it if there was a little novella of her, like how Stephenie Meyer did that with a character from Twilight. The difference, of course, anything about Foxface would be actually /good/.
She also reminds me a bit of York (my av). York is a thief, too, and I see the similar sort of pride in her that York has. She was prideful/arrogant enough in her strategy to not see any possible danger in what Katniss and Peeta were doing. Pride was her downfall. -nod-
I absolutely do not buy the fanon thing I have seen in a few fics where she chose to kill herself.

I agree with this- I hate the fanon idea where she decided to commit suicide. It's more poetic that she should meet her demise from scavenging the wrong thing.

I just do not see her as the suicidal type at all. She became a scavenger because she wanted to survive, and hopefully make her way through the Games that way. That takes a different type of attitude, a grit to live with near nothing that doesn't mesh with becoming suicidal. |

Ew...I had never seen anything that said she tried to kill herself and I don't like it one bit. If you were going to commit suicide in the Games (and in all honesty, that is probably what I would choose to do) it doesn't make any sense to wait. Plus there's no way she knew those berries were poisonous. One of my guy friends is actually obsessed with Foxface...it's pretty amusing  |

Exactly. Why kill yourself when you're so close to the finish line? I've seen it portrayed that she's worn down, exhausted, etc etc but they all were.

Agreed. Also she's been doing okay, didn't have to really fight anyone so far, and it doesn't seem like she's been injured. I mean, maybe she could have realized she didn't want to kill anyone and she was getting close to winning so she would've had to (because it's unlikely the other tributes would destroy themselves, or something) but since she had such a good plan for surviving, it's clear she wanted to, so she would have thought about the whole killing-people thing before then.

Yeah, I am sure that she had something up her sleeve if considering she did manage to stick around so long. I'm really curious as to what D5's industry was. I mean, people toss around things like chemical research but I don't see much evidence for that. I would guess it was something urban, though, based on her tactics.

I wish we knew what all the other District's industries were.

I'm kind of hoping with the movie, we'll be able to at least get more hints. Maybe. =/

I always assumed that, if District 5 was anything, it would be oil and petroleum, because none of the other Districts mine the stuff. Although, there's a chance that it's all run out- like in the Fallout video game universe- but yeah.
District 6 I wrote was medicinal production, meaning that they had factories that packaged and produced the powders and things for shipment to the Capitol.
And District 9 is for producing electricity. Whenever I see 'hunting' next to District 9, I boil up a little inside. We learned that District 9 did electricity in Catching Fire I'm pretty sure.

Unless they discovered a new source then yeah, they probably would have run out. That would put D5 around Texas or so, if they did, though.
Medicine makes sense for 6. The morphlings, after all.
Wait, where in CF did it say 9 was electricity? Hunting doesn't make sense either way because hunting is illegal in Panem, isn't it? Plus it isn't exactly a reliable industry. Meat processing would make more sense.
