They sacrifice someone for a good harvest. I know this because one of the things Old Man Warner said is, "Used to be saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon." That is why they do this ritual so they will have a good harvest season. ]]> 2018-10-01 16:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fosterabi/th1d9qe53b6j/wish/287724087 fosterabi https://padlet.com/fosterabi/th1d9qe53b6j/wish/287724195 The reason they have there ritual is because the 12 districts tried to overthrow the government but it didn't work.

That is why they are different. ]]> 2018-10-01 16:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/fosterabi/th1d9qe53b6j/wish/287732980 fosterabi https://padlet.com/fosterabi/th1d9qe53b6j/wish/288239558 2018-10-02 16:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fosterabi/th1d9qe53b6j/wish/288239558
