About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (the moment Katniss recognizes the smell that will save her life), syntactic clarity (three short sentences building from realization to action), and vocabulary about the senses being used to survive.
It is mud. My nose lifts in the air, and those are lilies. Pond lilies! I crawl now through the mud, dragging myself toward the scent.

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
- Haymitch could have sent Katniss water and saved her trouble. Instead, he made her find it herself. Was that mean of him, or was it the smartest thing he could do? What in the story makes you think so?
- Katniss almost eats berries that turn out to be blood-red inside. Why does she throw them away even though she is starving and thirsty? What in the story makes you think so?
