About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (a child building emotional walls for survival), syntactic complexity (three linked actions in one sentence), and vocabulary used in a powerful figurative way.
I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.

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 Peeta offers to clean up Haymitch, Katniss thinks 'kind Peeta is more dangerous to me than an unkind one.' Is it RIGHT to push someone away just because they are kind to you? What in the story makes you think so?
- Katniss remembers picking dandelions and learning which plants to eat after her father died. Was Katniss being brave when she went into the woods alone, or was she just doing what she had to do? What in the story makes you think so?
