Chapter six

The Training

Center

is there home until the Games begin

Each district has a floor to themselves

Effie and

Haymitch

will be overseeing them right into the arena

Effie tries her best to win them sponsors but only

Haymitch

can seal the sponsor deals

During dinner,

Katniss

recognises an

Avox

(p.77), but everyone says it’s impossible for her to recognise the girl.

Avox

: ‘Someone who

comitted

a crime. They cut her tongue so she can’t speak…She’s probably a traitor of come sort.’

Haymitch

says that the hand-holding idea was a perfect touch of rebellion – p. 79.

Katniss

realises all the other tributes stood apart, not even acknowledging each other.

The

Avox

girl frightens

Katniss

. ‘She has reminded me why I’m here. Not to model flashy costumes and eat delicacies. But to die a bloody death while the crowds urge on my killer.’ (p.80)

Katniss

tells

Peeta

about how she does know the

Avox

girl (p.82)Slide2

Chapter seven

Katniss

and

Peeta

have been dressed the same again.

They will have 3 days where all the tributes will practice together. On the last afternoon, each tribute will perform before the

Gamemakers

. (p.88)

Katniss

and

Peeta

agree that

Haymitch

can train them together. They both tell

Haymitch

about each other’s strengths

Peeta

tells

Katniss

that his mother said she is a survivor (p.90)

He says to

Haymitch

: “She has no idea. The effect she can have.” (p.91)

Haymitch

tells them to spend the training time learning something they don’t know yet. “Save showing what you’re best at until your private sessions.” (p.92)

Haymitch

orders them to be by each other’s side every minute when they’re in public.

When they go to the training rooms,

Katniss

and

Peeta

are the only ones dressed alike.Slide3

P.94 –

Katniss

observes the other tributes who all seem bigger than her, even though many of them look underfed

‘The exceptions are the kids from the wealthier districts, the volunteers, the ones who have been fed and trained throughout their lives for this moment. The tributes from 1,2 and 4 traditionally have this look about them…we call them the Career Tributes, or just the Careers.” (p.94)

The next three days pass with

Katniss

and

Peeta

trying out various stations.

The

Gamemakers

watch the tributes train and seem to keep a close eye on the District 12 tributes.

Katniss

notices Rue, p.98-99: ‘…the little girl from District 11 standing back a bit, watching us. She’s the twelve-year old, the one who reminded me so of Prim in stature. Up close she looks about ten…’

On the last day, the tributes have their private session with the

Gamemakers

(p.100)

Katniss

is last to be called and feels that the

Gamemakers

are now bored, and decides to do something drastic to get their attention: she shoots an arrow straight at the

Gamemakers

which skewers the apple in the pig’s mouth on their table (p.101-102)Slide4

Chapter eight

Katniss

is worried that she has now completely ruined her chances. She locks herself in her room and cries.

The

Gamemakers

give each tribute a number between one and twelve that signifies the promise of the tribute. 1=irredeemably bad; 12=unattainably high. (p.104)

These scores help in terms of sponsorship.

Katniss

worries she’ll get the lowest score of all the tributes

At dinner

Haymitch

asks

Katniss

and

Peeta

what really happened.

After dinner, the scores are televised. Rue gets a 7.

Peeta

got an 8.

Katniss

gets a surprising 11 and she can’t believe it. (p.108)

Katniss

goes to sleep thinking about Gale an dhow lonely she is (p.111-112)

The next night will be their televised interviews.

Haymitch

tells

Katniss

that

Peeta

has asked to be trained separately for the interviewSlide5

Chapter nine

Katniss

feels betrayal that

Peeta

is going on his own now, but she is also relieved that the can stop pretending now.

Training = 4 hours on presentation with Effie and 4 hours on content with

Haymitch

“So far, you’re shining like a star. You volunteered to save your sister.

Cinna

made you look unforgettable. You’ve got the top training score. People are intrigued, but no one knows who you are. The impression you make tomorrow will decide exactly what I can get you in terms of sponsors.” (p.116)

The training with

Haymitch

doesn’t go too well and he gives up on her.

Cinna

prepares her for the interview (p.120-121). When she sees herself she says: “I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.” (p.121)

Cinna

suggests that

Katniss

should just be herself in the interview, and to pretend to be speaking to him.

Caesar

Flickerman

is the host for the interviews. Each interview lasts 3 minutes.

Katniss

’ interview goes so well and then it’s

Peeta’s

turn.

Caesar asks

Peeta

if he has a girlfriend and

Peeta

says he’s had a crush on a girl…and she came with him to the Games…Slide6

Part 2: Chapter 10

Katniss

realises

Peeta

was referring to her

At the end of

Peeta’s

interview “The roar of the crowd is deafening.

Peeta

has absolutely wiped the rest of us off the map with his declaration of love for me” (p.133-134)

Katniss

is angry at

Peeta

for making her look weak but

Haymitch

says he made her look desirable and now everyone is thinking about them ‘The star-crossed lovers from District Twelve!” (p.135)

When her anger fades,

Katniss

realises

Peeta

has given her an edge – ‘

Peeta

has made me an object of love.’ (p.136)

The Games will begin the next day at 10. Effie and

Haymitch

will go to the Headquarters and Portia and

Cinna

will accompany

Katniss

and

Peeta

to the arena.

Haymitch

gives them final advice: “When the gong sounds, get the hell out of there. You’re neither of you up to the blood bath at the Cornucopia. Just clear out, put as much distance as you can between yourselves and the others, and find a source of water.” (p.138-139).Slide7

Peeta

and

Katniss

can’t sleep and they meet on the roof.

Peeta

says that he wants to die as himself. “I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not…I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol that they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games.” (p.141-142)

The next day,

Katniss

is prepared for the Games. A tracking device is inserted in her arm.

Cinna

gives her the gold

mockingjay

pin as her district’s token.

Cinna

wishes he luck and the time comes for her to launch into the arena.

“Then I hear the legendary announcer, Claudius

Templesmith

, as his voice booms all around me. “Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin!” (p.147)Slide8

Chapter eleven

In the arena, the tributes have 60 seconds to stand on their metal circles before the gong goes.

They are all equidistant from the Cornucopia (a symbol of plenty) = a giant golden horn spilling with things that will give them life in the arena.

Katniss

takes in her surroundings – she can see a lake, sparse pine woods. She decides

Haymitch

would want her to go to the woods immediately.

Katniss

really wants to get the arrows and bow and reckons she could get it. She notices

Peeta

shaking his head and then the gong goes and she’s lost time.

Katniss

grabs a sheet of plastic and a loaf of bread and then grabs an orange backpack from the District 9 boy.

The girl from District 2 throws a knife at her which lands in her backpack so she scores a knife.

Katniss

runs into the woods while the other tributes are fighting at the Cornucopia

Now she needs to find water – that was

Haymitch’s

second instructionSlide9

In the late afternoon, canons are fired to signify how many tributes died that day. 11 shots are fired which means 13 tributes are left to play.

Katniss

wonders if

Peeta

has survived the day.

Exhausted,

Katniss

decides to see what’s in her pack and finds it has no water bottle. Then she sets a trap and chooses a willow to sleep in for the night.

That night, the tributes who died appear on the screen in the sky.

Katniss

realises

Peeta

is still alive.

Katniss

drifts off to sleep and wakes up to the sounds of someone making a fire (p.158).

Katniss

can’t understand why someone would do this “You might as well be waving a flag and shouting ‘Come and get me!’”

By dawn, some tributes have found the girl who started the fire.

Katniss

realises some of the tributes have formed a pack. ‘The strong band together to hunt down the weak then, when the tension becomes too great, begin to turn on one another.’ (p.159)

The pack stops under

Katniss

’ tree…and then she recognises one of the voices to be

Peeta

! Slide10

Chapter 12

Katniss

can’t believe that

Peeta

has joined up with the Careers.

While

Peeta

finishes off the girl, the others talk about him and say he’s their best chance of getting

her

(

Katniss

)

When morning comes,

Katniss

checks her traps and finds a rabbit which she eats. Next to find = water

Katniss

goes all day searching for water but doesn’t come across any. Night falls and the sky screen shows that one tribute died

 the girl from District 8.

The next morning, she is desperate for water and hopes that one of her sponsors might send her a silver parachute. But nothing comes…she wonders if

Haymitch

is refusing it because he controls the gifts from sponsors (p.168)

She realises that

Haymitch

would only withhold water if he knew she was near a water source.

Exhausted she tumbles to ground and lands in mud…mud = water! (p.170)

She fills her flask with water and adds iodine to purify it.

Night comes and she learns that no one died today. She decides to spend the next day resting and camouflaging her backpack.

She falls asleep but wakes up to a wall of fire descending on her… P.171)Slide11

Chapter 13

The world has transformed to flame and smoke. The flames are unnatural and are definitely

Gamemaker

-made. “No deaths, perhaps no fights at all. The audience in the Capitol will be getting bored, claiming that these Games are verging on dullness.” (p.173)

“This fire is designed to flush us out, to drive us together.”

Katniss

runs for her life, her throat and chest burning from the smoke.

Fireballs start flying past her. “Somewhere, in a cool and spotless room, a

Gamemaker

sits at a set of controls, fingers on the triggers that could end my life in a second. All that is needed is a direct hit.” (p.175)

A fireball crashes near

Katniss

and she is wounded. (p.176) She thinks about

Cinna’s

words ‘

Katniss

, the girl who was on fire.’

The attack of fire ends. ‘The real sport of the Hunger Games is watching the tributes kill one another…they manipulate us into confronting one another face-to-face.’ (p.177)

Katniss

finds a pond and washes her burns and cuts. Her calf is severely burned.

Later she hears the Careers approaching and scrambles up a high tree.Slide12

The Careers (and

Peeta

) see her (p.181). She smiles and asks how they’re doing. ‘This takes them aback, but I know the crowd will love it.’

Cato and Glimmer attempt to climb the tree to reach

Katniss

but both fail.

Peeta

says, “Oh, let her stay up there. Its not like she’s going anywhere, We’ll deal with her in the morning.” (p.183)

Later

Katniss

notices eyes staring at her from the net tree…she thinks it must be a possum, but realises it can’t be. It is Rue.

‘For a while we hold each other’s gaze. Then, without even rustling a leaf, her little hand slides into the open and points to something above my head.’ (p.184Slide13

Chapter 14

Rue has pointed to a nest of tracker-

jackers

.

One of the Capitol’s

muttations

–

‘Larger than regular wasps, they have a distinctive solid gold body and a sting that raises a lump the size of a plum on contact.’

Katniss

decides to saw off the branch with the nest on when the anthem plays, but only gets ¾ through sawing…and decides she’ll continue at dawn.

She returns to her sleeping bag to find ‘a small plastic pot attached to a silver parachute.’ (p.188)

 a pot of medicine for her burns (

high-tec

medicine brewed in the Capitol lab)

At dawn,

Katniss

continues to cut the branch as the tracker

jackers

start to wake up.. ‘It crashes down through the lower branches, snagging temporarily on a few…until it smashes with a thud on the ground. The nest bursts open…and a furious swarm of tracker

jackers

takes to the air.’ (p.198)

Katniss

gets stung 3 times but the tracker

jackers

identify the Careers as their enemy and attack them.

Glimmer gets badly stung and dies.

Katniss

starts running but she is ‘woozy’. She finds a pond to submerge herself in.Slide14

Then she realises that she forgot the bow and runs back to Glimmer. ‘Her features eradicated, her limbs three times their normal size. The stinger lumps have begun to explode, spewing putrid green liquid around her.’ (p.192)

Katniss

wonders if this is real or if the hallucinations have begun.

The girl from District 4 also dies.

Katniss

is trying to get the bow when she hears the Careers returning!

‘I’m helpless as the first hunter crashes through the trees, spear lifted, poised to throw. The shock on

Peeta’s

face makes no sense to me. I wait for the blow. Instead his arm drops to his side.’ (p.193)

Peeta

tells her to run as Cato approaches (p.193-194)

She runs and falls into a small pit…’Sick and disoriented, I’m able to form only one thought:

Peeta

Mellark

just saved my life.’

(p.194)Slide15

Chapter 15

Katniss

goes through a cycle of waking up from nightmares ‘This is the nature of the tracker

jacker

venom, so carefully created to target the place where fear lives in your brain.’ (p.195)

She eventually wakes up and realises she was hallucinating. She realises she must have been out for at least two days. Then she remembers

Peeta

who saved her life. It doesn’t make sense why he would join the Careers and protect her…

The bow and arrows give her a new perspective on the Game, she is no longer just prey.

She tries to find water and manages to kill a rabbit. She washes herself clean

While

Katniss

is preparing dinner, Rue sneaks up quietly. (p.199)

She and Rue decide to form an alliance. Rue gives her some leaves for her burns. Rue has experience from working in the orchards.

Katniss

gives Rue some ointment for her burn.

‘I can almost hear

Haymitch

groaning as I team up with this wispy child. But I want her. Because she’s a survivor, and I trust her, and why not admit it? She reminds me of Prim.’ (p.201)Slide16

They feast on

groosling

and tell each other about their districts. Then they plan how to use their food and divide up their supplies.

Rue tells

Katniss

that the glasses in her pack that she thought were useless are actually for darkness. ‘They let you see in complete darkness.’

They share a sleeping bag that night for warmth. Two tributes died that day and ten tributes are left…

They discuss the Careers and how they have everything they need.

‘But

Katniss

, they’re not hungry,’ says Rue. ‘No, they’re not. That’s the problem,’ I agree. And for the first time, I have a plan. A plan that isn’t motivated by the need for flight and evasion. An offensive plan. ‘I think we’re going to have to fix that Rue.’ (p.207)Slide17

Chapter 16

If

Katniss

and Rue destroy the Career’s supplies, they can’t feed themselves. ‘That the Careers have been better fed growing up is actually to their disadvantage, because they don’t know how to be hungry.’ (p.208)

They drift to sleep and wake to the sound of the canon…another tribute dead.

Today is the day they destroy the Career’s food supply. Rue tells

Katniss

everything she knows about the Careers’ camp. (p.210)

Katniss

learns that what Rue loves most in the world is music.

They devise a plan (p.212-213) and Rue teaches

Katniss

her

mockingjay

signal so that

Katniss

will know she’s ok.

Katniss

heads to the Careers’ camp which is by the lake, while Rue will set two fires.

She hides by some foliage and sees four tributes. A boy from District 3 guards the Careers’ supplies.

Katniss

thinks the supply pyramid must be booby-trapped somehow.

The Careers notice smoke in the wood and start to arm themselves.

Katniss

overhears that Cato wounded

Peeta

. “I know where I cut him. It’s a miracle he hasn’t bled to death yet. At any rate, he’s in no shape to raid us.’ (p.216)Slide18

The Careers leave and

Katniss

wonders what she can do when she notices

Foxface

creeping onto the plain. She hops and takes strange steps by the pyramid. She reaches the supplies and fills her pack.

Katniss

realises the ground has landmines around the supplies. That’s why the boy from District 3 is there because he knows about explosives. (p.219)

Rue’s second fire is lit and

Katniss

is losing time. She decides to aim for the apples. She successfully hits them. ‘For a moment, everything seems frozen in time. Then the apples spill to the ground and I’m blown backward into the air.’ (p.221)Slide19

Chapter 17

The supplies are completely destroyed.

Katniss

finds she can’t walk clearly after been blown back by the explosion.

Her left ear is bloody and she worries that she’s gone deaf from the explosion. She struggles to move but realises she has to because she’s out in the open. She makes it to the bushes just in time as Cato arrives

Cato is mad and turns his anger on the boy from District 3 and kills him. (p.224). That night the screen shows two tributes died that day, and the careers realise that whoever destroyed their stash is still alive..

The Careers put on their night glasses and head to the woods to hunt…

Katniss

remains where she is for the present.

By morning

Her hearing in her right ear has returned

somewhat, and she decides to start heading back to find Rue.

Katniss

waits for Rue at their meeting place but there is no sign of her. She eventually decides to head to their third meeting spot and realises something has gone amiss (p.231)

The she hears a

mockingjay

repeat Rue’s song which means she’s ok…then she hears a scream.Slide20

Rue shouts out her name and

Katniss

runs towards her.

‘When I break into the clearing, she’s on the ground, hopelessly entangled in a net. She just has time to reach her hand through the mesh and say my name before the spear enters her body. (p.232).Slide21

Chapter 18

Katniss

kills the boy from District 1 and runs to try free Rue but Rue is beyond saving – the spear is too deep.

Rue tells

Katniss

that she has to win. She asks

Katniss

to sing to her and

Katniss

sings a lullaby and the

mockingjays

take up her tune.

Rue’s cannon fires.

Katniss

retrieves her pack and the District 1 boy’s pack.

‘Rue’s death has forced me to confront my own fury against the cruelty, the injustice they inflict upon us. But here, even more strongly than at home, I feel my impotence...’ (p.236)

She remembers

Peeta’s

words that he doesn’t want the Capitol to own him and finally understands what he meant…she decides to do something to make the Capitol accountable. She collects flowers and covers Rue’s wound and makes a wreath for her. (p.237)

‘They’ll have to show it. Or, even if they choose to turn the cameras elsewhere at his moment, they’ll have to bring them back when the collect the bodies and

everyone will see her then and know I did it.’ Slide22

Katniss

says goodbye to Rue and wanders off. “I’d kill anyone I met on sight. Without emotion or the slightest tremor in my hands. My hatred of the Capitol has not lessened my hatred of my competitors in the least. Especially the Careers. They, at least can be made to pay for Rue’s death.” (p.238)

Katniss

receives a gift from District 11 – a small loaf of bread. This is the first time a tribute has received a gift from another District.

That night the sky shows 2 tributes died – District 2 boy and Rue. There are 6 tributes left.

Katniss

loses the will to do anything else but lie in her tree…but the thought of Prim brings her back to reality. She sorts out her supplies

She lights up Rue’s 3

rd

fire and doesn’t care if the Careers notice. She is now determined to win. ‘Something happened when I was holding Rue’s hand…Now I am determined to avenge her, to make her loss unforgettable, and I can only do that by winning and thereby making myself unforgettable.’(p.242)

That night, Claudius

Templesmith

makes an announcement: ‘There’s been a rule change in the Games…both tributes from the same district will be declared winners if they are the last two alive.’ (p.244)

‘Two tributes can win this year. If they’re from the same district. Both can live. Both of us can live. Before I can stop myself, I call out

Peeta’s

name.’ (p.244)Slide23

Part 3: Chapter 19

The wounded

Peeta

is now

Katniss

’ ally.

‘It just makes sense to protect each other. And in my case – being one of the star-crossed lovers from District 12 – it’s an absolute requirement if I want any more help from sympathetic sponsors.’ (p.247)

‘For two tributes to have a shot at winning, our ‘romance’ must be so popular with the audience that condemning it would jeopardise the success of the Games.’ (p.247)

Peeta

must have been very convincing in the arena…

District 2 is the only other district with a couple – Cato and the girl.

The next morning,

Katniss

tries to track down

Peeta

, knowing he is too wounded to find her. She starts off a fire to distract her enemies and heads to a water source where

Peeta

could be.

She notices some blood on a rock…and later hears “You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?” (p.252)

Peeta

has completely camouflaged himself with mud and plants.

Peeta

is in incredible pain and can’t move by himself.

Katniss

tries to clean him up and give him some food but he can’t even eat.Slide24

Katniss

manages to help

Peeta

get to a nearby cave

“

Katniss

,” he says…”thanks for finding me.”…His forehead’s burning up. Like the medicine’s having no effect at all. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I’m scared he’s going to die.” (p.260)

Then she kisses

Peeta

, which she thinks is probably long overdue since they’re supposed to be madly in love.

A silver parachute arrives with some hot broth. ‘

Haymitch

couldn’t be sending me a clearer message. One kiss equals one pot of broth.’ (p.261)

“I’ve got to give the audience something more to care about.”Slide25

Chapter 20

Peeta

is running a very high fever…

Katniss

takes care of him as best she can.

The next morning,

Peeta’s

fever breaks. He tells

Katniss

that Clove and Cato like to hunt at night.

Katniss

gets some rest.

Later she checks his wounds. His leg is much worse. ‘Then I see the red streaks starting to crawl up his leg. Blood poisoning. Unchecked, it will kill him for sure…We’ll need strong anti-infection drugs from the Capitol.’ (p.265). But gifts go up in price the longer the Games go on.

Katniss

makes some soup and

Peeta

asks her to tell him a story. She tells him about how they got Prim’s goat (p268-272)

Then Claudius

Templesmith

makes another announcement inviting them to a feast. “this is no ordinary feast. Each of you needs something desperately.” (p.274)

Peeta

needs medicine desperately. “Each of you will find something in a backpack, marked with your district number, at the Cornucopia at dawn.” (p.274)

Peeta

says she’s not going, but

Katniss

insists. If she doesn’t go,

Peeta

will die.

Haymitch

sends a gift – a vial of sleep syrup. This vial will knock

Peeta

out for a full day – just enough time for her to do what she needs to.

Katniss

mixes up some berries with the syrup and gives it to

Peeta

. Just as he realises what she’s done, he loses consciousness.Slide26

Chapter 21

Katniss

camouflages the cave so that

Peeta

will be safe while she’s gone.

She thinks about home – ‘spirits must be running high in District 12. we so rarely have anyone to root for at this point in the Games.’

3 hours before dawn

Katniss

starts preparing. She gets there early and sees no sign of the other tributes – Cato, Clove, Thresh or

Foxface

.

The table appears with the backpacks on and

Foxface

runs out first and gets hers.

Katniss

runs next to get hers and Clove throws a knife at her, which just misses.

Katniss

shoots an arrow and it punctures Clove’s arm.

Katniss

grabs her backpack but Clove throws another knife which hits her in her forehead…then Clove knocks her to the ground. ‘Clove means to savour the moment. Even feels she has time.

Clove opens her jacket and she selects a dainty little

knife.’I

promised Cato if he let me have you, I’d give the audience a good show.’ Clove intends to cut up

Katniss

, starting with her face.

Suddenly, Clove is lifted off the ground by Thresh. (p.286) ‘Thresh brings the rock down hard against Clove’s temple. It’s not bleeding, but I can see the dent in her skull and I know that she’s a goner.’ (p.287)Slide27

Thresh turns to

Katniss

, but when he hears she was Rue’s ally he lets her go. “Just this one time, I let you go. For the little girl. You and me, we’re even then. No more owed. You understand?” (p.288)

Cato comes running to Clove and

Katniss

runs to the woods. She sees Thresh disappearing with two backpacks – his and District 2’s.

Katniss

makes it back to the cave and gives

Peeta

the injection that was in the pack. Then she passes out. ‘My hands go t

omy

head and then drop to my lap, slick with blood. The last thing I remember is an exquisitely beautiful green-and-silver moth landing on the curve of my wrist.’ (p.289)Slide28

Chapter 22

Peeta

is much better and now he takes care of

Katniss

.

They count who’s left and hope Cato and Thresh will kill each other…(p.293). They’re so hungry they eat the last

groosling

.

Peeta

says that Thresh goes to a field with grass as high as his shoulders..

Peeta

wonders what they can do to get

Haymitch

to send them bread…then

Katniss

remembers the romance. (p.296-297)

They’re stuck in the cave because the

Gamemakers

send a deluge of rain that lasts for days.

The day drags on and nothing comes from

Haymitch

, probably because he’s dissatisfied with their performance. ‘My instincts tell me

Haymitch

isn’t just looking for physical affection, he wants something more personal…’ (p.300) So she asks

Peeta

about when he first had a crush on her; it all started on the first day of school…

Katniss

is confused because they’re supposed to be playing at this love thing but

Peeta’s

story is so real… ‘if those details are true…could it all be true?’ (p.301)

Katniss

says he has a remarkable memory.

Peeta

says she was the one who wasn’t paying attention. She says, “You don’t have much competition anywhere.’” (p.302) = just what

Haymitch

wanted and he sends them a feast. (p.302)Slide29

A sweeping summary of chapters 23-27

Katniss

and

Peeta

go hunting.

Peeta

picks

nightlock

.

Foxface

then also eats

nightlock

and dies instantly.

Now they’re one step closer to home. They make a fire and ‘invite’ Cato but he doesn’t come.

Later,

Katniss

feels like there won’t be another night in the arena. The

Gamemakers

will force the final tributes together somehow.

All the water is dried up…they’re forcing them to the lake.

Katniss

feels the real battle of the Games has always been her and Cato.

Katniss

whistles Rue’s tune and the

mockingjays

repeat it…until Cato comes rushing towards them. Cato doesn’t attack them…he’s running from something! Then

Katniss

spots the creatures coming for them.

Muttations

of huge wolves are coming;

Katniss

follows Cato to the Cornucopia. They climb the Cornucopia and the wolves follow…and start climbing. One wolf reminds

Katniss

of Glimmer! She shoots it dead.

They realise each of the wolves

resemble

a dead tribute! (p.334)Slide30

Cato returns to his feet and grabs

Peeta

.

Katniss

realises he has some form of body armour from the Capitol, and aims for his head. They reach a stalemate because

Katniss

can’t kill Cato without

Peeta

also dying…

Peeta
