Feasts



The Hunger Games typically include feasts each year. Feasts are used to bring the remaining tributes together. Often when food is scarce in the arena, the Gamemakers will invite the players to a banquet at a well-known place, such as the Cornucopia, to induce another bloodbath. Sometimes, there will be a big table of food, while other times nothing is provided but a stale loaf of bread that the tributes have to battle it out for. In the 74th Hunger Games, a very special feast was held; instead of food, the feast contained backpacks for each indiviual district that contained things the corresponding district needed desperately.

Attendees

 * Katniss Everdeen — Peeta Mellark, being desperately wounded at this stage, needed medicine to reverse his blood poisoning and to allow for travel. Katniss went to collect it.
 * Thresh — Unknown as Thresh was pretty well off in his field of corn although it is unknown if he had any weapons or if he was injured (this might have led to his death).


 * Foxface — Based on information released later in the book, Foxface probably needed food. It is notable that only 2 days later she returned to stealing, when she tracked Peeta and stole his nightlock berries only to die from their lethal poison.


 * Cato and Clove — It was speculated the backpack contained body armour seen later in the book, although that wouldn't nessecarily be something Cato and Clove would need. Clove was the only one to die at the 74th Hunger Games feast.

Trivia

 * In the book, it states that the packs at the feast differed in size and color; Districts 2 and 11's packs were large and dark blue, District 5's pack was medium-sized and green, and District 12's pack was small and orange. In the film all the packs are the same size and differ by the districts' jacket colors and the number on them; District 2 was rust red, District 5 was plum red, District 11 was brown and District 12 was black.
 * The book states that "Feasts always result in fatalities", showing that maybe one death, Clove, is rare and there is usally more.
