Conflict • “No!” I cry, and spring forward. It’s too late to stop the arm from descending, and I instinctively know I would won’t have the power to block it. Instead I throw myself directly between the whip and Gale.” (pg. 106) • During this Katniss’ friend is being whipped by a peacemaker which could of have killed him if she hadn’t gotten in the middle of it. She deeply cares about Gale.
Conflict • The Quarter Quell, what does it mean? Existing pool of victors? Then I get it, at least for me. District 12 only has three victors one girl and two male… I am going back to the arena. (pg. 173) • She hadn’t realized this was coming. The arena was the worst time for Katniss many people she knew died. Katniss becomes more engaged, she is always on her toes and on the look out for anyone or anything suspicious.
Character- Katniss • That’s when I hear the scream. So full of fear and pain it ices my blood. And so familiar. I drop the spile, forget where I am or what lies ahead, only know I must reach her, protect her. I run wildly in the direction of the voice, heedless of danger, ripping through vines and branches through anything that keeps me from reaching her. From reaching my little sister. (pg. 339) • This scene shows that Katniss will risk everything to save her sister. After this incident Katniss becomes more paranoid about the people and her surroundings.
Character- Katniss • Peeta. My dying wish. My promise. To keep him alive. (pg. 373) • She doesn’t care if she dies she will sacrifice herself just so Peeta will make it out alive. Katniss is barely conscious still lingering on hope that everyone she knows is still alive
Setting • “Tick, Tock”. My eyes sweep around the full circle of the arena and I know she’s right. Tick, tock. This is a clock”. (pg. 325) • In the setting Katniss realizes that the arena she is fighting in is like a giant clock and each time means a new enemy. Her and her allies think of plans to help elude these obstacles.
Setting • “Come on, we’re almost to District Eleven. Let’s go take a look at it”. You can see a wide sweep of the landscape. Huge open fields with herds of dairy cattle grazing in them. (pg. 54) • This scene shows that some districts unlike hers are still beautiful. Some are still full of life. It is kind of like being in the unknown seeing things for the very first time Katniss feels touched by the District Eleven people.
Setting • “In District Eight there are still banners with my face waving from the rooftops. Below them, there’s a mob scene. The square is packed with screaming people, their faces hidden with rags and homemade masks, throwing bricks. Buildings burn”. (pg. 89) • Katniss realizes that everything is about to change. Districts are rebelling against the Capitol rule. She feels that the time to fight is now. Help each District get away from the forced ruling they have had for centuries.
