Contrast
The Capitol vs. District 12
To infer/deduce:to make an educated guess based
on what you know about a situation.
Read the following passage.
3. “They do surgery in the Capitol, to make people appear younger and
thinner. In District 12, looking old is something of an achievement
since so many people die early. You see an elderly person, you want
to congratulate them on their longevity, ask the secret of survival. A
plump person is envied because they aren’t scraping by like the
majority of us. But here it is different. Wrinkles aren’t desirable. A
round belly isn’t a sign of success.”
Katniss, “The Hunger Games” pg 125
