Discussion Question

Assess the importance of Katniss forming an alliance with Rue. If you were Katniss, would you do the same thing?

"Rue stuffs another handful of leaves in her mouth, and soon I'm laughing because the relief is so sweet. I notice a long burn on Rue's forearm. 'I've got something for that' I set aside my weapons and anoint her arm with the burn medicine" (Collins IBook).

Thank you!

Discussion Question

Why do you think Peeta left the Careers?

"'He's not with them now' she says. 'I've spied on their base camp by the lake. They made it back before they collapsed from the stingers. But he's not there'" (Collins IBook).

Literary Lens

Feminism

  • Katniss expresses how courageous and knowledgeable she is throughout this chapter.

"'We're strong, too.' I say. 'Just in a different way'" (Collins IBook).

  • This quote shows how much heart Katniss has because even though the Careers are more powerful and outnumber Katniss and Rue, Katniss is smarter and will come up with a plan to defeat them

Themes

Alliance brings knowledge

"'You're smart enough to still be alive. And I can't seem to shake you anyway'" (Collins IBook).

Katniss' alliance with Rue brought her knowledge to survival in the Hunger Games. Rue showed Katniss plants that could help heal her. And even told Katniss about where the Careers are and Peeta is no longer with the Careers.

Symbols

Food- a symbol of strength

"'We're strong, too' I say. 'Just in a different way.'

' You are. You can shoot' Rue says. 'What can I do?'

'You can feed yourself. Can they?' I ask" (Collins IBook).

Trees- Shelter and protection.
