District 8

District 8 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem, and its primary industry is textile production.
==Everyday Life==
District 8 is one of the poorest Districts, with most citizens living in poverty. Most of District 8's citizens depend directly on the District's textile industry and its success in the Capitol. As noted by Rochelle Carrillo in Twin Snakes: The 101st Hunger Games, the District even depends on the Capitol for funding for its orphanages. As a result, many children grow up on the streets where violence is rampant.
Because of its financial situation, many tributes from District 8 are extremely malnourished and weak, meaning that very few are successful in the Hunger Games; however, the District has produced four post-revolution Victors.
Because District 8 was the center of the uprising that started the rebellion, it was harshly punished by the Capitol along with District 12 and District 2; many years passed before the District recovered from this treatment.
