Paragraph: In the scene where Rue dies, the technique of music is used effectively to show the theme of 'Hope and Rebellion'. In this scene we see Rue put to rest after she is impaled with a spear by another tribute. The music that is used makes the audience feel depressed, sorrowful, and melancholic through the use of minor chords, slow tempo and rising and falling dynamics. The purpose of this is to show the relationship between Katniss and Rue. They are friends and Katniss sees Rue like her sister Prim. This worked well with the use of the three finger salute which is a symbol of hope from Katniss's district. This shows hope and rebellion because as a result ok Katniss's actions, the people of district of District 11 start rioting against the Peace Keepers.
