The main character, Katniss Everdeen, is from District 12. When her younger sister, Prim, gets chosen, Katniss bravely steps in.
            "With one sweep of my arm, I push her behind me.
                'I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!'"
           This shows Katniss's bravery to step in as the elder sister, and shows her dedication to her family, since she stepped in to save her family from getting hurt.

Patterns: Throughout the story so far, Peeta continuously becomes more brave to be with Katniss. He acts more comfortable with her and is able to talk more in conversations with her. He shows her various things.
              "Peeta and I walk together down the corrider to our rooms. When we get to the door, he leans against the frame, not blocking my entrance exactly but insisting I pay attention to him."
               This is one example of when Peeta tries to get Katniss's attention, and his posture in this scene shows he's comfortable with it.

LAnguage of Discipline:
Salvation:  (n) act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, destruction, etc.
"Get the weapon. Since that's the very weapon thet might be my salvation."
This is saying that the arrows is possibly Katniss's only hope of possibly surviving the intense need to get out of the area.

Ethics: Throughout the story, Katniss tends to think to herself sometimes about who she wants to win if she doesn't win. At first she wanted Peeta to win, but when he unites with other people to "kill" her, she changes to Rue. She couldn't stand the idea of Peeta, who betrayed her. She continues to have these internal battles within her all the time.
      "Besides, if I'm going to die today, it's Rue I want to win. Even if it means a little extra food for my family, the thought of Peeta being crowned victor is unbearable."
         These constant changes of mind happens often throuhout the story, and it constantly dawns on her.
