Love can affect the decision a person makes. One major aspect the over in both the book and the movie is the stress that Katniss goes through by not making decision that might kill her family. In the book, Katniss is accounted by President Snow and is threaten to not make decisions that will spark a rebellion.

The Declaration of Independence is the most honorable document in America’s founding history. In the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “. . . That to secure these rights [Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness] . . . that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government . . .” The Declaration incites people to overthrow their governments if governments violate people’s rights.

Unfortunately their attempts to smother the fire result in an inferno because of the propaganda, propo for short, videos displaying the rebel’s Mockingjay, giving them hope for the overturning of the Capitol. As long as Katniss lives, they live and the hope given to them will continue to live
