Hunger Games - Chapter 13


Chapter 13 (p. 172-184)
Fire sends Katniss in a panic away from the pond, chasing the animals who are fleeing, The smoke has made her sick, but she is driven from her resting spot by fireballs that eventually injure her calf.

  1. 1 Katniss believes the Gamemakers started the fire as a joke or to pull her closer to the other tributes.

    2 The Gamemakers can play along.

    3 Katniss' injury is a burn on her calf, her nickname is the girl who was on fire making it ironic.

  3. 1. The Gamemakers or some other kids to try to intimidate the competition, or to catch them off guard.

    2. Now the Gamemakers are joined in the violent fun.

    3. As the forestfire was going, her nickname was the Girl on Fire.

    4. It's torn up and falling apart, due to the forestfire.

    5. She disses the Gamemakers from on top of the tree.

    6. The tributes were too big, as they were peeling the tree up, so they gave up.

    7. Ran Ran Rue was in the tree with her.
