Chapter 18 Comprehension Questions
ReplyDelete1. Rue died because the boy from one threw a spear at her chest.
2. She doesn't blame herself or the boy from district one for Rue's death since we're all trying to win the game. She chose to blame Rue's death on the Capitol since they put everybody in a situation where they need to kill each other to survive. The boy from district one looks weak, especially in death.
3. Katniss decorated Rue's body with flowers since she wanted to show the capitol that they don't own her or anybody else in all of Panem. She wanted to shame them, show them that the blame is on them. Rue was more than a piece in their game. She decorated the body since they'll need to show it on screen since they always demonstrate the removal of a tribute. Rue looks like she's asleep.
4. Her opinions about killing have changed since she wants the careers to pay for what happened to Rue. Although she hates the capitol, she will always hate the other tributes; that will never change. She ready to kill anybody in sight, but nobody shows up even they would know that she's frail at this point in the games.
5. The sponsor's gift came from district eleven. It's the first time that this has ever happened. It must've been for Rue, but Haymitch authorized it to be given to Katniss.

6. As she starts to fall asleep, she begins to dream of when Rue got speared by the boy, and when Katniss shot an arrow in the boy's neck. She wonders to herself why she cares so much, and later realizes that it's because it was her first kill. Katniss starts to think about some more and thinks that Glimmer and the girl from four could have also been her kills since Katniss did drop the nest on them. But the boy from one was the first person she knew was going to die at her hands.
