1.Katniss burying Rue is the best monent in the entire series. As I was reading the first book, much like you, I kept wondering what the rest of the world was thinking. These people are deliberately kept separated to prevent any kind if unison and the youth from each district are trained to kill each other once a year.
And here's district 12 burying a girl from district 11; the two poorest districts---at least they're made to seem that way---the districts whose teenagers are too busy working to feed themselves to train, showing each other true kindness. When district 11 sent bread I think I teared up some because you know how much it cost them.
2.I also love Katniss' reactions to everything. Female lead characters always have a way of over thinking everything and Katniss takes it to the extreme. But can you blame her? After years of being the father figure, years of watching her female role model disappoint her, Katniss distrusts any act of kindness.
Katniss is like Fiona from Shameless. Her best laid plans are always fail because it allows her messed up brain to play a role. It's only when she does something spontaneous that her actions become memorable.
3.I'm glad everyone is as confused with Peeta as I was. What dd you guys think when they announced 2 tributes would survive if they were from the same district?
