" Since I don't plan on making it back alive a second time, the sooner Gale lets me go, the better. I do plan on saying one or two things to him after the reaping, when we're allowed an hour for goodbyes. To let Gale know how essential he's been to me all these years. How much better my life has been for knowing him. For loving him, even if it's only in the limited way that I can manage. But I never get the chance." ~Katniss
"And I'm left staring out the window, watching District 12 disappear, with all my good-byes still hanging on my lips." ~Katniss For the Quarter Quell, Katniss and Peeta do not get the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones before heading into the arena. Peeta suggests, "We'll write letters, Katniss. It will be better, anyway. Give them a piece of us to hold on to." Catching Fire R.A.F.T. R (Role) You are District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen. You are on your way to the Capitol to prepare the for Quarter Quell games. This time, it is a one-way trip because you have made it your mission to get Peeta out alive.

When Katniss and Peeta attend the banquet in the Capitol, she notices that her mockingjay has spawned a new fashion sensation (page 78). When she returns home, she talks about the mockingjay being a symbol of the rebellion (pages 91-92).
A symbol is a person, place, object, or activity that stands for something beyond itself. Using text evidence, contrast what the mockingjay symbolizes to members of the Capitol with what it symbolizes to the rebels in the Districts. Infer what the mockingjay might symbolize to President Snow.

Dialogue is written conversation between two or more characters. In fiction, dialoge is usually set off with quotation marks. Writers use dialogue to reveal information about a character, move the story along, or provoke characters into making decisions.
As you read chapter two, pay specific attention to the dialogue between Katniss and President Snow. Focus on what they are talking about, and how their conversation will affect Katniss's future decisions. After we read chapter 1 we will work together as a class to anayze the dialogue on pages 20-21 and 28-29.

SPARKS ARE IGNITING.
FLAMES ARE SPREADING. AND THE CAPITOL WANTS REVENGE. Against all odds, Katniss has survived the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol --a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capital's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying. Katniss is about to be tested as never before. Type 2: Using text evidence to support your opinion, write 8 lines explaining why you think the second book in the Hunger Games series is called Catching Fire.  Chapter 19: What events prompt Katniss to go looking for Peeta? Describe the condition Peeta is in when she finds him.
Chapter 20: What gift does Katniss receive in a silver parachute? What does she use it for? Chapter 21: Why does Thresh spare Katniss's life? Chapter 22: Contrast the way Katniss and Peeta feel about each other. Chapter 23: What events cause Foxface's death? Chapter 25: Contrast Peeta and Katniss's reasons for wanting to eat the nightlock berries. Chapter 26: Why do you think Katniss believes "that the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games is about to begin"? In your opinion, are her feelings valid? or is she overreacting?  Chapters 11-12: Identify an example of a character vs. character conflict, and a character vs. nature conflict from this section. Explain which conflict you think would be the most difficult to face.
Chapter 13: How does the Capital interfere in the games? What do you think is most likely their motivation for doing this? Chapters 14 -15: Describe Katniss's relationship with Rue. Chapter 18: What can you infer about Distric 11's action of sending Katniss the gift of bread? |
