About This Passage

Selected for thematic weight (a hopeless moment turning into a triumph), syntactic clarity (one sentence young readers can follow), and vocabulary about big sudden feelings.

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

  1. Katniss is most afraid that her mother and Prim will be hurt because of her arrow stunt — not afraid for herself. What does that show us about who Katniss really is? What in the story makes you think so?
  2. Haymitch says, 'Guess they liked your temper.' Why would the Gamemakers like someone for losing their temper? What in the story makes you think so?
