Chapter 18
The chapter opens with the Katniss' lovely first direct kill, an arrow through the boy from District 1's neck (I found out later his name was Marvel).Rue had just taken a spear through the stomach, and Katniss stays with her until she dies, and at Rue's request, she sings her a song. After Rue dies, Katniss feels she hadn't done enough. She walks to a field of flowers, gathers them and then decorates Rue's body with them. As she walks away, she hears a mockingjay sing Rue's melody.
Katniss spends the rest of the day moping, depressed. She receives bread from District 11. Eventually, she gets herself together and does some hunting, until she hears the announcer's voice. The rules have been changed, Peeta and Katniss have become a team.
Chapter 19
Katniss searches for Peeta, eventually finding him half dead under some awesome camoflauge he's put together. Peeta jokes around and flirts with her, even though he's half dead. She cleans him up and they head to some cave for shelter. She pretends to be in love with him and Haymitch sends them some soup. (Can you tell I didn't particularly enjoy this part of the book?)
Chapter 20
While feeding and kissing Peeta, she hopes no one will come hunt them. Peeta tells her stuff about the Careers. Peeta's leg, they discover is pretty much beyond Katniss' ability to repair. Katniss BS's some story about Prim's goat. They get invited to a feast. Peeta throws a tantrum and is stubborn about not letting Katniss go. With a gift from Haymitch, some sleep syrup, Katniss is able to knock Peeta safely out.
Chapter 21
Katniss runs off to the cornucopia for the feast. Foxface runs off with hers first. Katniss runs out, gets brutally attacked by Clove in the forehead, causing to bleed, and then Clove gets torn off her by Thresh and gets her neck bent in half along with a nice big dent in her skull. Katniss talks to Thresh and he lets her go with her bag. Clove dies, Cato's pissed. Katniss goes into panic mode, gets back to their cave, injects the thing in the bag into Peeta's arm and passes out from blood loss.

I found these chapters like the turning point in the book. There was a climax where Rue died and the official stated that the competitors could team up with their district partners. Katniss didn't hesitate and went looking for Peeta. When they formed an alliance, their romance got them a lot supplies and luxuries foods. Additionally the number of competitors are decreasing, because of their rashness.
ReplyDeleteGreat summary, it made me want to continue reading it. I thought when Katniss wrapped the flowers around rue it was the most heart-wrenching part of the book yet. If Peeta dies I wonder if Katniss will put flowers around him as well, my guess is not.
