Does prim die in the hunger games
With blood constantly pouring from his mouth and those cold blue eyes, President Snow cuts an imposing figure in any case, and even more so when he confesses to Katniss that he has no trepidation about killing children when the moment calls for it. And while Katniss was far enough from the bombs, and close enough to medical care, that she makes it through the violence, her sister Prim was not. It's a tactic devised by Gale - bombs are delivered on tiny parachutes much like those used to bring supplies from sponsors to tributes in the Hunger Games arena, detonating in one wave and then a second to strike where the damage has already occurred. And that's when the rest of the parachutes go off." She and Prim are both caught in a secondary blast meant to exponentially increase the casualties caused by a first round of bombings. "Because for just a moment, she catches sight of me, her lips form my name. She sees Prim at the Capitol gates, aiding children who have been trapped and injured by the sudden violence. "I think she hears me," Katniss narrates in the book. It should go without saying that there are quite a few spoilers ahead. Katniss seems to keep Prim out of harm's way, but when the districts of Panem become embroiled in a civil war, there's not much that she can do to protect her sister, now a skilled medic, while still acting as the face of the revolution. Katniss's own sister Prim is one of the children meant to take a place in the arena, though Katniss replaces her in the reaping. Think of the elderly victors called back to the arena for the Quarter Quell, or the youngest of each of the Districts whose names are put forth for the Games each year. The Hunger Games trilogy has a tendency to sacrifice even its weakest and most vulnerable.
