The District 10 male was the male tribute from District 10 who participated in the 74th Hunger Games.

Biography[]

74th Hunger Games[]

Reaping[]

The District 10 male was one of the few tributes that caught Katniss's attention while watching back footage from the reapings, due to his "crippled foot".[2] However, his disability was not present in the film.[3]

Tribute Parade[]

In the film, the boy from 10 first appeared in the Tribute Parade with his district partner. They both wore golden cowboy hats, shirts, and pants, representing District 10's livestock industry. Later, once the chariots were parked, they could be seen talking to each other behind the District 12 chariot.[3]

Training[]

During training in the film, the District 10 male was shown practicing with a staff against a trainer, dodging and hitting each other's weapons as Katniss watched, impressed. After Peeta threw a heavy weight, he and the District 5 male were in the background looking doubtfully at the Career Tributes. He was also briefly seen wrestling with the District 6 male while the District 7 male threw a spear with the help of a trainer.[3]

In the film, the District 8 male fell and hurt his leg during training, and was later sent into the arena with a cast on his leg.[3] This was likely a nod to the District 10 male's disability in the book.

Interviews[]

He was described as being "very quiet" when he was interviewed by Caesar Flickerman.[4] In the film, he wore a gray suit with black pants and gray shoes as he waited in line backstage, looking bored.[3]

Cornucopia bloodbath[]

The District 10 male survived the initial Cornucopia bloodbath.[5]

In the film, like majority of the tributes, he ran to the Cornucopia for supplies. He grabbed a yellow sleeping bag, but the District 7 male and the District 6 male charged at him in opposite directions. He quickly pushed the District 7 male back and elbowed the District 6 male in the chest. The District 6 female stole the bag from his hands, while Glimmer came from behind to pull her hair, and shove her away from him. After Glimmer killed the District 6 female, the District 10 male collided with her and took the bag away from her. Glimmer pinned him to a crate to stab him, but he was too quick for her. Marvel confronted him and tried to slash him with an axe, but he successfully dodged. At some point in the bloodbath, he and the District 5 male tried to kill Cato while the District 6 male watched from behind a crate. Katniss later spotted him running in the forest with his bag, and she ran the opposite direction.[3]

Death[]

The cannon signaling his death, likely at the hands of the Careers, woke Katniss and Rue in the morning on day eight.[6] Katniss didn't realize who it had been until she saw his picture during that evening's anthem recap. He placed 10th out of 24.[7]

Although the District 10 male was seen fleeing the bloodbath, he was used as an extra death there in the film, presenting a continuity error. Rue later recounted his death as occurring after Glimmer's, at some point in the several days that Katniss slept after being stung by tracker jackers.[3]

Trivia[]

  • In the film, his odds of winning were 15–1, and the tribute boards showed that he was 18, weighing 165 pounds.[1]
    • He, Cato, and Thresh were the oldest and largest tributes in the 74th Hunger Games.[1]
  • He, Foxface, Rue, Thresh, and the District 3 male were the only tributes alive when Katniss dropped the tracker jacker nest who were not known to have gotten stung.
  • He and the District 10 male from the 75th Hunger Games are similar because they both died after a District 1 female tribute was killed. They also both outlived their district partners, then later died to an unknown cause.
