Ace of Arrows: I Volunteer as Tribute

I once read a fable about a farmhand who was given instructions to plant a field of barley. He acted immediately, but he sowed oats instead of barley. After several weeks, the owner of the farm went out to inspect the crop and was astonished to see oats growing instead of barley. The workman was told to report to the owner's office at once. "I told you to plant barley,' he said. "Why did you sow oats?" "Oh," the man responded, "I didn't think it would make any difference. I figured that even if I planted oats, I could expect barley to come up." Enraged, the owner shouted, "Are you crazy, man? What ever made you think that?" The farmhand replied, "I got that idea from you, sir. I've been watching the way you live. And I've noticed that even though you're constantly sowing 'seeds of evil,' you expect to be reaping `fruits of virtue'!"

No one can avoid the natural laws of sowing and reaping. Whatever we sow, we will reap. What are you sowing?

"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap."

— Galatians 6: 7 (ESV)

Like, if it was deliberate that Prim was reaped, was Rue also picked on purpose? Neither of them held any immediate threat to the Capitol locked safely away in their districts, so what good does drawing them out do? (Obviously other than scaring the districts by killing their youngest but that isn’t specific to Rue and Prim that could be any 12 year old)

And also, there was no guarantee that Katniss would volunteer for Prim. If they really thought Katniss was such a big threat (She definitely wasn’t because other people also hunted outside the fence, why didn’t they ever reap Gale?) they would’ve just put her name in the bowl.

"You're all I'm going to think about in that arena,” she whispered. "Not that guy back in Twelve?" he said only half-jokingly. "No, he made sure he killed anything I felt for him," she said. "The only boy my heart has a sweet spot for now is you." Then she gave him a kiss. Not a peck. A real kiss on the lips, with hints of peaches and powder. The feel of her mouth, soft and warm against his own, sent sensations surging through his body. Rather than pulling back, he held her even tighter as the taste and touch of her made his head spin. So this was what people were talking about! This was what made them so crazy! When they finally broke apart, he drew a deep breath, as if surfacing from the depths. Lucy Gray's lashes fluttered open, and the look in her eyes matched his own. They simultaneously leaned in for another kiss when the Peacekeepers laid hands on her and led her away. Festus nudged him on the way out of the hall. "That was some good- bye." Coriolanus just shrugged. "What can I say? I'm irresistible." "I guess," Festus answered. "I tried to give Coral a reassuring pat on the shoulder and she about broke my wrist." The kiss left him giddy. Beyond a doubt he'd crossed a line, but he didn't regret it…. It had been amazing. He walked home alone, savoring the bittersweet parting, electrified by his daring. Maybe he'd broken a rule or two ……
