On Day 8, Katniss and Rue wake up to a canon (it was the boy from District 10). They decide that they need to get rid of the Careers' supplies because this would hurt them the most. The Careers, as we have seen, have stockpiled all the remaining supplies from the Cornucopia by the Lake. In fact, if Katniss and Rue destroyed that stockpile, the Careers wouldn't have much food or supplies left, and therefore will have to start foraging for them. We also find out why the Careers allied with the boy from District 3: he was able to booby trap their supply pyramid with the bombs from around the metal plates from the beginning of the Games. District 3 is Technology after all. Katniss and Rue decide that Katniss should somehow destroy the pyramid of supplies. Rue goes off to distract the Careers by creating fires while Katniss scouts out the pyramid/lake. She discovers the booby traps and decided to shoot her arrows at a bag of apples. And guess what? Within just 3 SHOTS SHE MAKES IT! As in the bag of apples falls and sets off all the bombs scattered throughout the pyramid and camp. Because Katniss was so close to the explosion, she was literally knocked back and fell unconscious for the rest of the day. She wakes up on Day 9 and goes to search for Rue. She finds her trapped by Marvel of District 1. He spears Rue, so Katniss shoots him. It was soooo sad! Katniss was crying about Rue and everything! | After Katniss dropped the nest of trackerjackers on the Careers, and both Glimmer and the girl from District 4 died, Peeta and the rest of the Careers ran to the lake in hopes of running away from the terrible muttations. However, we saw that Peeta somehow made it back to Katniss to warn her! Isn't that cute? He really did have feelings for her after all! He risked more stings and even death by the trackerjackers or Careers by going back! Also in the whole ordeal, Katniss managed to pick up Glimmer's bow and arrow set. I think it suits Katniss better :) Also, Katniss sleeps through the rest of Day 5 and 6. She wakes up on Day 7 with Rue of District 11 close by. Rue is such a cutie! It's so sad she's in the Games, but afterall, it can't be as exciting with just 17 to 18 year old athletes. Katniss and Rue decide to team up for the time being, and they share info and supplies with each other. |
