Gonna post two a day for a while. I wanna get book 1 out of the way before the movie premier.
Chapter 12
Pages 161-171
There’s only one good reason Haymitch could be withholding water from me. Because he knows I’ve almost found it.
Summary:
Little miss huntress is in dire need of water at this point, having gone about two days without the stuff. And with Kat getting so physical lately, she definitely needs to replenish her supply. She might also want a cigarette, but that’s just speculation at this point. She also overhears a conversation the Careers Alliance is having about how bad they want to take her out and how much they wanna drop dat dead weight Peeta.
Katniss panders to the cameras for a second, jumping down from her tree and flashing that winning smile of hers, and then clears out of the area. Nothing much else really happens this chapter, except in her dehydrated state Katniss is even more paranoid than normal. Which honestly I didn’t think was possible, but it is apparently so. She thinks she either A) has no sponsors – but doesn’t really believe that because she ****ing killed it up in there, B) Haymitch is giving all the crap from the sponsors to Peeta, or C) Haymitch is just being a massive tool and withholding the sponsors gifts for fun (a sponsor could buy her water and send it to her in the arena).
Thankfully, Kat finally gets her hands on some water the old school way, by finding it, and she’s quickly back in the game. But as she’s resting in a tree, something disastrous happens.
Katniss might literally be the girl who was on fire pretty soon.
Thoughts:
I wonder if the fire was caused by the dead girl from District 8’s campfire. I also wonder if the Careers Alliance set the fire on purpose to try to drive out anyone that might be hiding in the forest. Seems like a piece of information Peeta could have given up. I’m sure he knows Katniss would definitely be hiding in the trees, and after hearing about how much the careers want to take her out, they might have threatened him or something. Or maybe he told them willingly. Or maybe that’s not what’s going on at all lol.
I think that’s pretty much all the explanation we’re going to get on sponsors. I get how they work, but I’d almost like to see a chapter back in the Capitol where Haymitch is dealing with them. I’m just interested in the process I guess.
