Team Member Services. Size Charts. Peeta sees it and his hand clamps on my wrist. He holds my gaze for a long moment then lets go. I loosen the top of the pouch and pour a few spoonfuls of berries into his palm. Then I fill my own. We stand, our backs pressed together, our empty hands locked tight. I want everyone to see," he says. I spread out my fingers, and the dark berries glisten in the sun.
I give Peeta's hand one last squeeze as a signal, as a good-bye, and we begin counting. I lift my hand to my mouth taking one last look at the world. The berries have just passed my lips when the trumpets begin to blare. The frantic voice of Claudius Templesmith shouts above them.
I give you - the tributes of District 12! For the audience? His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.

Our children are using year-old text books those lucky enough to go to a school that has text books. Research materials and study resources are stripped down to the bare minimum in an effort to control what information students have access to.
If you control the language, you control thought; if you control thought, then you control the people. Supplant language for the crap that passes as entertainment these days and you have the makings of a world where The Hunger Games is a reality show and the populace watches with the same morbid fascination as the rubbernecked goofs smiling and pointing as they slowly drive by an accident scene on the street.
The Hunger Games is a warning. A foreshadowing of what will come to pass if we continue to let the few do our thinking for us.
