I can't imagine what it is like for Peeta and Katniss to travel to this whole new world it seems like. They are exposed to a more luxurious lifestyle and witness a community of wealthy people with painted faces and bizarre hair and clothing. After seeing the movie, I know what these people look like, and I do not understand their need to be "in costume". In a school-related group movie project, I had to play the character of Effie in which I had replicated her appearance. I now understand her quirky character and the society she comes from. This is so different for the District 12 tributes as they come from a society based around poverty.
