Quote 4
I can't win. Prim must know that in her heart. The competition will be far beyond my abilities. Kids from wealthier districts, where winning is a huge honor, who've been trained their whole lives for this. Boys who are two to three times my size. Girls who know twenty different ways to kill you with a knife. Oh, there'll be people like me, too. People to weed out before the real fun begins. (3.13)
Much as in the reaping, the Hunger Games favor the richer district: those who can afford the time and training it takes to compete. What strengths does Katniss have, though, that the wealthier kids don't?
Quote 5
Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, has obviously been crying and interestingly enough does not seem to be trying to cover it up. I immediately wonder if this will be his strategy in the Games. To appear weak and frightened, to reassure the other tributes that he is no competition at all, and then come out fighting. (3.47)
What is real and what is not real? Already Katniss is beginning to question the motives of those around her: in this instance, Peeta. Could his emotional response be simply a strategy?
