The Hunger Games

By Carlos Q. Torres

  • When Peeta gave Katniss two loaves of bread to eat.

    I know Peeta was trying to help Katniss because she had been looking in the trash for food. Katniss noticed that Peeta had seen her when his mom came out to tell her to move on. Almost immediately Peeta came out the back door with the two loaves of bread.

  • When Peeta's dad comes to talk to Katniss after the reaping.

    I know he is trying to help her because Katniss talks about how he has always been generous with her and Prim when trading for bread. Also just as he is about to leave, he tells Katniss " I'll keep an eye on the little girl. Make sure she's eating" refering to Prim.

  • When Gale talks to Katniss before she leaves to the train station.

    I know he is trying to help her because he gives her advice on what to do in the games. He also tells her that he won't let "them" starve refering to Prim and her mom, making her feel a bit more relieved.

  • When Katniss and Peeta make a deal with Haymitch about doing exactly as he says.

    I know Haymitch is trying to help Katniss because he tells them "All right, I'll make a deal with you. Don't interfere with my drinking, and I'll stay sober enough to help you." They agree and he give starts to give them the first pieces of advice.

  • When Cina and the other stylists start working on Katniss.

    I know they are trying to help Katniss because better looking tributes seem to pull more sponsors. And those sponsors will later give money to help Katniss once the games have started.

  • When Effie works with Katniss for her upcoming interview.

    I know Effie is trying to help Katniss because Katniss has been very agressive, but she knows she has to be nicer for the audience to like her. The more they like her, the more sponsors she will have.

  • When Katniss recieves her first gift from her sponsors.

    I know they are trying to help her because they send her medicine. The medicine is to treat the burns on her hands and her leg.

  • When Katniss is on top of a tree and Rue tells her about a tracker jacker nest.

    I know Rue is trying to help Katniss because the Careers were waiting for Katniss to come down from the tree. Katniss then manages to drop the nest to distract the Careers while she flees.

  • When Rue heals Katniss' stings from the tracker jacker's.

    I know Rue is trying to Katniss because they just formed an alliance to try to fight off the Careers as a team. Katniss also learns a lot of handy things from Rue.

  • When Katniss recieves lamb stew on wild rice from her sponsors.

    I know they are trying to help Katniss because she was starving from not having food. Now with her energy recuperated she was able to hunt again.
