1 hour 30 mins. The Hunger Games 313-End
Details: When KAtniss and Peeta won, they had really upset the government. When Katniss and Peeta were interviewd, they needed to persude the commoners to take their side. Only Katniss was told this, since they already believed Peeta could play along.
"Your only defense can be you were so madly in love you weren't responsible for your actions."
When Haymitch told Katniss that the government was mad at them, Haymitch made this plan to make sure her and Peeta don't look like fools. They're only defense was this plan, and the plan worked out well in the end.
30 mins. Catching Fire 1-30
Patterns: In the beginning of the book, the narrator constantly reminds the reader of the difference in Katniss's new life. When Katniss won the Hunger Games, she got a new home and prosperity, and the reader in always reminded of how it differs from her old life.
For ezample, when Katniss goes to the store, the narrator reminds the reader that Katniss didn't have enough money to pay for food, and had to hunt instead. Now, she has plenty of money to spend hoowever she wants.
This shows the pattern between the constant reminders, and rich vs poor comparisons.
