Citation:
“I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!(8).
Commentary:
This shows that Katniss really loves her sister Prim, and would do anything for her. For example Katniss hunts for her family which consists of Prim and her mom.
Citation:
“I never want to have kids,” I say (3).
Commentary:
Since Gale asked Katniss if she wants to have kids, this shows that Gale has a bit of feelings for Katniss. With Katnisses response it shows that Katniss does not have the same feelings to Gale.
Citation:
"I scrub off the dirt and sweat from the woods and even wash my hair"(5).
Commentary:
Since Katniss says ‘“even” wash my hair” it shows that Katniss is not very used to washing her hair and even bathing at all. It also shows that since Katniss is washing her hair, it is for a very special occasion.
Citation:
Citation
"He hates me. Or at least distrusts me"(1).
Commentary:
This shows that Katniss is not a very good person when it comes to animals. Maybe Prim's cat does not like Katniss, because she knows that Katniss kills other animals when she goes hunting.
Citation:
"Haymitch chooses this time to come staggering across the stage to congratulate me"(9)
Commentary:
From this quote it shows that Haymitch is very excited to be working with Katniss and Peeta. I know this because Haymitch came staggering across the stage to meet Katniss,
Citation:
"Before anyone could witness what had happened I shoved the loaves up under my shirt, ..., and walked swiftly away"(11).
Commentary:
This shows that Katniss's family is very poor in need of desperate money. For food Katniss goes hunting for animals and plants that can be eaten, so her family can eat everyday. And when Katniss took the bread she was very excited for her family because she knows that they will eat very well tonight.
Citation:
"To my surprise, my mother has laid out one of her own lovely dresses for me. ..."(5)
Commentary:
This quote shows that Katniss is not very used to dressing in fancy clothes. So her mom layed very fancy clothes because it is the reaping day. The reaping day is a very important day and only happiness once a year.
Citation:
"He could be my brother. Straight black hair, olive skin; we even have the same grey eyes" (3).
Commentary:
This shows that Katniss has a feeling for Gale. I know this because Katniss is thinking of Gale being her brother. And if Gale is Katniss's brother then Katniss would spend more time with Gale.
Citation:
"It’s not that I don’t agree with him. I do. But what good is yelling about the Capitol in the middle of the woods?"(5).
Commentary:
This quote shows that Katniss is thinking reasonably about what Gale said. I think that Katniss is saying that district 12 is not one of the best districts. District 12 is a district that everyone forgets about.
