About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (Peeta's first articulation of the chapter's core moral question), syntactic clarity (three short sentences a young reader can hold whole), and vocabulary used in a serious, grown-up sense.
I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense? I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not.

Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Tell someone what happened in this chapter in order. When you get to the most important part, slow down and tell it carefully — what happened, why it mattered, and what you think about it.
Discussion Questions
- Peeta says he wants to 'die as himself,' not turn into a monster in the arena. Is it more important to stay alive or to stay yourself? What in the story makes you think so?
- Katniss is angry at Peeta for telling everyone he loves her. But Cinna and Haymitch say it gave her sponsors. Should Katniss be grateful or upset? What in the story makes you think so?
