Hunger Games - Chapter 10

Part II – “The Games”

Chapter 10 (p. 133-147)

Katniss is upset with Peeta for his comments and keeps her distance until they return to the training center, where she pushes him into a clay urn and he cuts his hands. Her team says the performance of Peeta was great and that it portrayed them as “star crossed lovers” which will help them to secure more sponsors.

Neither can sleep the night before the Hunger Games. On the roof of the training center, the two meet and Peeta expresses his need to be true to himself while still putting up a fight. Katniss for the first time expresses the confidence that she can survive the games, but she too understands the effect the Games can have on Tributes, citing the example of Titus from District 6 the previous year.

  2. 1 The crowd is in awe towards Peeta and Katniss.

    2 Haymitch thought district 12 would gain more sponsors by having a couple go all out in the arena.

    3 Peeta's hands are bloody from the shards he fell on.

    4 The people stay up late at parties and need to sleep in.

    5 To run and then stay alive.

    6 Peeta doesn't want to die as a monster or killer.

    7 Titus is the greatest tribute the world has ever known! Whom devoured his enemies.

    8 The arenas became tourist sites.
