Thoughts:
I think I’ll take this opportunity to say how great of a job Donald Sutherland did with President Snow in the movie. He was just the right amount of calculating and sinister, yet with a seemingly sweet old man demeanor. A really nice performance in my opinion, and I can just see him at the end of this chapter, sitting in Katniss’ study waiting for her. Just makes me wanna go oooooh guuuuurrrl, you in troooubllllllle. In my opinion President Snow has been spying on Katniss (and possibly Peeta, to a lesser extent) since the end of the Games. Clearly, as shown by this chapter, Katniss and Peeta don’t really talk or hang out much, which is generally the opposite of how people who are madly in love are suppose to act. Snow obviously knows something is up, he’s a pretty smart and underhanded guy.
As for Gale, I guess the mines must pay a lot better than hunting/gathering and trading, but I feel like it’s a lot more dangerous. Gale’s family seemed to be getting by alright before. I wonder what the reason behind the switch is… Why wouldn’t they just continue to do what they were doing? Seems like Gale would be a lot happier, but I’m probably just looking too hard into it. Also lol, it must really stick in Gale’s craw that the media made he and Katniss cousins since their friendship wouldn’t have been appropriate.
