13-21 Reading Review

1. The big plan that Katniss and Rue have come up with against the Career Tributes is to blow up the cornucopia where the Career Tributes have their food supplies and their weapons. Katniss and Rue knew that the Career Tributes have bombs every where around the cornucopia so if they blow up all the bombs the Career Tributes will have to survive on their own. The plan was for Rue and Katniss to go their separate ways. Rue would distract the Career Tributes, while Katniss blows up all the bombs by shooting down a bundle of apples.

"Somehow Rue and I must find a way to destroy their food. I'm pretty sure feeding themselves will be a tremendous struggle." (page 208)

2. Since the rules have change and two tributes from the same district can win the game, Katniss and Peeta are trying to meet up again so they can both win the Hunger Games. Once the announcement came on Katniss went to look for Peeta. She didn't she him with the Career Tributes so Katniss went walking down the stream and saw blood and continued to follow it. Katniss knew that Peeta would be disguised into the forest or his environment. The initial romance has still continued but it also has ended It was real romance because Katniss saw Peeta hurt she helped him get better by taking him to a cave. It was to real romance because Katniss kisses Peeta knowing what Haymitch wants and what the supporters want to see.

"Peeta smile. "Yes, frosting. The final defense of the dying" "You're not going to die" (page 252)

3. When Claudius Templesmith made an announcement inviting all the remaining tributes to a feast at the cornucopia. He says that their is a marked book bag for each tribute to have. Peeta didn't want Katniss to go and get the bag but Katniss knew that she needed what was every in the bag to survive and help Peeta get better. When Katniss and tries to go and get the bag she is caught by a girl from district 2, Clove. Katniss knew that she was skilled with knives. Katniss and Clove fight and Clove pins Katniss down. Clove is about to kill her, but Thresh a boy from Rue's district saves Katniss by killing Clove. However Thresh didn't kill Katniss because Katniss was a good friend to Rue. In the end Katniss is successful and retrieves the bag. Inside the bag is medicine to help Peeta get better and regain his power.

"Fortunately, the first knife comes whizzing in on my right side so I can her it and I'm able to deflect it with my bow. I turn, drawing back the bowstring and send an arrow straight at Clove's heart" (page 284)

4. With Peeta struggling to regain his strength Katniss tries her best to care for Peeta in anyway she can. She knows that she wants both of them to win the games for their district and to come back to their families. However Katniss doesn't know if she feels the same way Peeta does about her. She still has feeling about Gale. "Gale's not my boyfriend, but would he be, if I opened that door? He talked about us running away together." (page 280) Katniss also understands that the best way to get supporters is to stick together with Peeta. Katniss knows the strategy that Haymitch wants them to follow. When Katniss finds Peeta hurt, Katniss can't help but feel worried about Peeta. In the moment "Impulsively, I lean forward and kiss him, stopping his words. This is probably overdue anyway since he's right, we are supposed to be madly in love." (page 260) Katniss just made a big mistake, she is leading Peeta on that she has feelings about him. However Katniss knows that a little piece of her heart still has feeling for Gale. Katniss can't play the game correctly when she is not in the correct mind state. Now it's to late to look back she has to continue to play the games to the best of her ability.
