Victory Interview
Of the 51st Annual Hunger Games
Rhys Bullock, victor of the 51th annual Hunger Games, sat down with Caeser Flickerman
yesterday to discuss his experience in the area along with some information about his
games. Here were the highlights!

 Past and History of
Rhys Bullock
We all know Rhys Bullock as the boy from District Eleven, King of the Capitol, and of
course, the victor of the 51st annual Hunger Games. But who was he before he came to
the Capitol? Learn about Rhys’ Life back in District 11!

Rhys grew up in the middle class part of District

11. He had 5 younger siblings and worked on his
family's orchard with them. The younger ones
tended to the apple trees, but it was up to Rhys
and his 16 year old brother Luca to kill the crows
that lurked around their crops. When Rhys first
started his job, he was uneasy at the thought of
killing, but now he tolerates it. Rhys enjoyed
crafting his own weapons and tools to kill the
animals with, he often fashioned them out of
wood, glass, or rope. Rhys described himself as
more of a loner, only really talking to people who
he knew. During school, Rhys's brother Luca was
often bullied, so Rhys sometimes took that into

Mentoring a
his own hands. That is where Rhys learned to

A Future Mentor fight.

I am very excited to mentor! It will be sad to know
that at least one of my tributes will die in there but
maybe with my help they will have a fighting
chance. District Eleven is a strong district, and a
bit of a wildcard. We have so many skills that we
acquire while working that most people overlook us
when comparing us to Careers.
When Rhys heard his name called, he grabbed
onto his little brother, Luca's, arm as hard as he
could. The peacekeepers had to force him onto the
stage, where he was trying to break his way loose.
Luca was trying to volunteer for him, but Rhys'
screams drowned his brother's voice out. When he
had his time to say goodbye to his family, all of
his siblings ran in crying and hugging him. Rhys
promised to get back home.
Victor
We sat down with Rhys’ mentor to
ask about their experience mentoring
a victor.
“When Rhys won I was surprised but
I knew he was very much capable of
it. His desire to win to go back home
was very strong and I had no doubt
he wouldn’t let Cal kill him. I
honestly held my breath during his
fight with Cal, it was full of action
and emotions!”

What would you like to say to Rhys?

“Well, first off I want to say

CONGRATS! Rhys, I never lost hope
in you, as soon as I saw you get
reaped I knew you were going to be a
victor. I can’t wait to mentor tributes
with you in the future.
Congratulations Rhys you deserve
it.”
We were able to acquire some rare photos taken of Rhys
Bullok in District 11 taken last summer before the games!

Finding An Agent That’s Right For You
Panem Forever interviewed Rhys’ younger brothers Luca (age 16) and Abe (age 9)
during the family and friends interviews for the final eight tributes. We asked Luca
what he thought the crasiest part of the games had been and Abe told us how it felt to
see his brother in the arena!

Abe
“Ha, I really didn't expect him to make it past
the first day to be honest. If you didn't know,
Rhys is a bit dumb. When I say a bit, I mean a
lot. He dropped out of school last year. How
irresponsible of him. At least, I thought he was
dumb, but when he came up with the brilliant
idea of almost drowning the other tributes, I did
not think that he was dumb, I was certain that
he is dumb. In another situation, the hand-
warmer trap would have been clever, but have
a bit of common sense, Rhys. At least he has
good taste in allies. Posi Rio and Tesla Watt
are geniuses.”

orderly district went into chaos. She was my
