Amelia Chenier’s Reviews > The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes > Status Update

This chapter was so interesting because Lucy Grey seems more "human". More and more the people from the districts are seen as more human because for the past 10 years they are seen as less then and treated by the peacekeepers as criminal. It just shows that people aren't that different from each other.

I just finished, when Lucy gets reaped and Snow is thinking about how horrible his tribute is, until she puts a snake down an enemies dress and starts singing that Snow sees Lucy's potential. I think it is so interesting how when she was singing after getting slapped she seemed more lively and like the slap didn't effect her. It shows how powerful her singing is to her and district 12.

I was surprised to find out that president snow came from a poor family and has to make it seem like he is still wealthy like his family once was. I think this adds a lot of depth to his character where you would think he was always a wealthy person from the capital. I also can't believe Tigris is his cousin! That was a crazy plot twist considering in the last book, Mockingjay, Tigris helped Katniss.
