I feel like Prim's death symbolizes that the story is so much bigger than just her. While in so many ways, she is the reason for the direction the story went, there was still so many more lives at stake. Because of her, Katniss made the decisions she made and even had to continue doing so after Prim's death. While she wasn't there physically anymore, her spirt and all that Kat stood for will always be there. She was a martyr for sure.

Suzanne collins isnât afraid to kill off many peopleâs favourite characters in both her bestselling novels. Prim and finnick in the hunger games and Ares and Hamnet in the underland chronicles. But out of all these deaths prims was easily the most devastating to me. her development from a scared little girl to a frontlines medic for the resistance was an amazing thing to both read and watch; just for it to be cut short by bombs dropped by people she trusted as allyâs.

I also like that Rue is compared to Prim in such a way that Rue was and is as important to Katniss as Prim was to her. âRue. Primrose. None of them can tip the scale at seventy pounds soaking wet.â In other words, prim shaped the way that katniss interacted with the world, and in seeing rue, who reminded katniss of her little sister, she started a revolution. One meant to bring peace and love, becuase katniss dared to love and take care of her sister

The scene where Katniss shouts at Buttercup after everything that has happened really hits me to the core as though everything that she had went through was useless now that Prim is gone (basically going through every stage of griefing), eventually realising that the cat is what keeps Prim's memory alive.

Does anyone think toward the end as Katniss and Gale are headed to the capital, when Gale gets snatched by Peacekeepers and Katniss is free to keep going, that maybe those peacekeepers were district 13 people dressed in the uniforms (ordered by Coin) to grab Gale and keep him safe while hoping Katniss would get killed in the district 13 bombing of the capital that killed Prim

Prim, in my opinion, represents the oppressed people (both citizens and hunger games participants) and how many of them are sacrificed jsut for a system to work. Her physical absence in the film profoundly symbolizes how many of us easily forget and take for granted that so many people had to die along the process of this sadistic world. That these very same people are capable of character growth and development, but had to all die to make a point that the system does not work anymore. Prim doesn't have to always be in the film, just as all the people who died in the games didn't have to always be mentioned, but they are there. They are part of the bigger picture.
Prim is you. You who's worth protecting.

There's actually this funny story I have about Prim.
My Mom was reading the Hunger Games Mockingjay and said how much she liked Prim as a character and called her her favorite character. And all my family and I who had read all 3 books already... could only just hold our breaths because we all knew that Prim died... and boy was Mom mad when we didn't tell her that Prim died and she had to find that out the hard way.

I see a lot of Prim in myself. I grew up in tough times, being the youngest of 3 of a single mother. I'm also an avid animal lover. I have 2 cats of 21 years old and got them when I was in 2nd grade and now almost 28. I always tell people I would feed my cats before I feed myself, even if that means going without eating for a couple of days like my own mother did with me and my 2 sisters!
Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!

You should have put in more about Coin. The movies left out how complicit she was in Prim's death, and so did this video. In the books, she proved time and again that she had to be in absolute control. Well, absolute power corrupts absolutely. She couldn't control Katniss, so she took away the only one Katniss cared about. I don't like that Gale is being called a villain here. He's just a boy who found a talent for weapons and traps, something to be used against an enemy. It was Coin that ordered the attack, and then put Prim in the path of those bombs just to get back at Katniss for not being her good little public slave. When a person is shot, you blame the person who pulled the trigger, not the manufacturer of the gun or the bullets.
You said this was going to be about the books, but it only was until the end. Then you followed the movie.

Prim deserves a medal for being the most important character in the series that simultaneously did absolutely nothing.
