About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (the most surprising sentence in the chapter, possibly the book), syntactic clarity (two short sentences a young reader can hold whole), and the punch of a one-line ending that drops the reader straight into the next chapter.
I almost fall out of the tree. The voice belongs to Peeta.

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
- When the gong rang, Katniss almost ran toward the bow. Peeta shook his head and made her change her mind. Did Peeta do the right thing by warning her, even though it might have been a trick? What in the story makes you think so?
- Katniss climbs a willow tree, ties herself to a branch with her belt, and goes to sleep with her knife. Why is she so calm in such a scary place? What in the story shows that this is not her first time being alone in the woods?
