On halloween night, jackie and some friends visited an abandoned house that was said to be haunted. jackie heard a strange noise and was convinced that she had heard the footsteps of a ghost. but beth, who also heard the sound, insisted that it was just a broken door rattling in the wind. jackie's interpretation probably reflects:

I believe the answer is: Her perceptual set that the house was haunted

Perceptual set refers to human tendency to process the information that we see based on one particular aspect of data while ignoring the others. In the example above, the aspect of data that Jackie used to make her perception is that the house of haunted. So every new information that she receive at that place would be automatically perceived as an extension of her pre-exisitng belief.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
