Chapter 6
Pages 73-85
I wonder if she’ll enjoy watching me die.
Summary:
A lady named Effie Trinket from the Capitol, whom has been with us this whole time, is busy trying to set up sponsors for Katniss and Peeta. It’s been mentioned a few times, so I’m guessing sponsors are a pretty vital part of the Games for the tributes. Effie tells a delightful story about coal turning into pearls, and a grand time is had by all. We go eat some dinner and Haymitch, along with both of our pyromaniac stylists, is there. How do I know they’re pyromaniacs? First the clothes. Then the cake. You only get two strikes people!
Katniss just so happens to lock eyes with a beautiful red haired girl. She’s such a player that she tries to pick her up with the whole “don’t I know you?” line, but everyone in the room is too smart for that. You’re going to have to bring your A-game here girl. Katniss’ luck hasn’t yet improved, because we find out her new little honey is an Avox, or a traitor to the Capitol. The Capitol doesn’t like traitors, so they cut out red’s tongue and put her to work as a waitress. A more terrible hell, I can’t imagine.
Unfortunately for Katniss it’s not considered a good thing to try to pick up traitors, but luckily St. Peeta steps in and covers for her – making up some fakakta story about how the girl just looks like someone they know back home. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief, and the tributes are excused from dinner. Peeta is determined to get into Katniss’ pants at this point, so he takes her up to the roof to talk about feelings and stuff. He gives her his jacket. Katniss name drops Gale to try and get Peeta to take the hint. Ya know. That she likes a more womanly type of man. Like. Just a woman. Instead of a man. Peeta must get the message because they thankfully go back inside and depart for their individual rooms without further incident.
Thoughts:
Interesting intermittent chapter, but hopefully we’ll be getting into the Training Center next. At this point I’ve resigned myself to the Katniss/Peeta romance that is imminent, but it’s alright. I’ve found other ways to keep entertained throughout their interactions. Not much else to say here, except that it’s apparent even in the Capitol there’s a Big Brother type fear in the citizens. I guess what can you expect in a dystopian society, right?
