Technique Used
Activate Emotion
This is propaganda because
The book uses the reaping and the games as propaganda by controlling information, activating fear and emotion, and rewriting reality. Children are purposefully selected to stir up fear and obedience, while the Games are portrayed as a justified punishment for past rebellion. Additionally, through media figures like Plutarch, the Capitol edits recaps so audiences see a false version of the events as truth. Even as Haymitch attempts to expose the reality, the Capitol reshapes his actions into entertainment, further showing how propaganda works by emotional and media manipulation.
