About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (a small brave joke from a wounded girl high in a tree), syntactic clarity (two short sentences a young reader can hold whole), and vocabulary about choosing how to act when you are scared.

Discussion Questions
- Katniss climbs a tree to escape the Careers because she is small and they are heavy. Is being small ever an advantage? What in the story makes you think so?
- Rue has been hiding in the next tree the whole time, watching everything quietly. Is Rue like Katniss in any way? What in the story shows that?
