About This Passage
Selected for thematic weight (a small act of defiance dressed up in polite words), syntactic clarity (two short sentences a young reader can hold whole), and the irony of formal politeness used as protest.
Thank you for your consideration. I give a slight bow and walk straight toward the exit without being dismissed.

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
- Katniss shoots an apple out of the pig's mouth on the Gamemakers' table because they were not paying attention. Was that the right way to get their attention, or was it too dangerous? What in the story makes you think so?
- Peeta tells Haymitch that Katniss is great at hunting and could even bring down deer. Why does Peeta say nice things about Katniss when they will soon be enemies in the arena? What in the story makes you think so?
