I read the book "The Hunger Games", but am still unsure about what the victors' prizes are. What do they receive from winning the games? I understand that they receive a life of prosperity and power back home, but for how long?STC Technologies
Unlike current reality games the Hunger Games victors do not receive a chance to write their own cook book as in Masterchef or achieve massive weight loss and $250,000 like the Biggest Loser.
But you’re right in that the winning tributes do receive a life of prosperity and power back home. They also gain the "honour" of becoming a mentor to the future generation of tributes from their district, as well as this the victor's district is showered with gifts, mainly food allowing them to prosper. Not a bad prize considering the majority of districts are so poor. But for Katniss and Peeta their victors rewards are short lived. So if you haven't read Suzanne Collins’ Catching Fire the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy, get reading now to find out more.
In the mean time, do you think this is a valid prize, and if not, what should the victors win instead? Perhaps an audience with One Direction?
