She essentially credits Peeta giving her the two loaves of bread years earlier with restoring her hope and saving her after her father's death. Without this act, she thinks she and her family may have starved, and she also thinks about how Peeta was present when she realized she would have to take care of her family.
What is significant about the bread that is sent to Katniss?
His act of kindness gave her hope and made her realize that there was a way she could keep her family alive—by foraging and hunting in the woods. And then, during the Games, Rue's district sends Katniss a loaf of bread to signal their appreciation for her treatment of Rue.
How was the bread incident a turning point for Katniss?
The bread incident was a turning point because it gave Katniss hope that she could survive and led her to the dandelion which reminded her of her father and the survival skills he had taught her, and gave her the determination she needed to keep herself and her family alive.
The explosions knock the wind out of Katniss and cause her to lose hearing in both of her ears. She knows that the Careers will be coming back to see what's become of their camp, but she can't stand.
The bread Peeta gave her allowed them to have their first real meal in a long while, and when Katniss saw Peeta the next day at the same time she saw the dandelion in the schoolyard, she realized that, if she wanted her family to eat, she would have to hunt and forage like her father taught her to feed them.
What does the incident with the bread reveal about Peeta Mellark's character?
The incident reveals Peeta to be a good and introspective person who prides his dignity and decency perhaps above all else. (It is never answered whether he would sacrifice that for Katniss as well.)
Do you think Peeta intentionally burned the bread to give it to Katniss?
Giving Katniss Bread
Doing so went against the wishes of his parents, who didn't like sharing food with others when they had so little for themselves. Peeta's mother was also prone to hitting him if he burnt any of their baked goods. But Peeta intentionally burnt some bread so that he could give it to Katniss.
Katniss is rendered deaf in one ear after she blows up the Careers' supplies, and she doesn't regain any hearing on her left side until afterwards when the Capitol gives her a hearing aid.
In the 74th Hunger Games, Clove was the only Career tribute who came close to killing Katniss twice — at the Bloodbath and at the Feast, and certainly seemed to have a deep hatred for her, perhaps because Katniss received a higher score than her.
Rue dies and Katniss realizes just how much she hates the Capitol for doing this to Rue, for doing this to all of the tributes. She wants revenge on the Capitol and wonders if there's a way for her to do it.
Katniss is too dizzy after the blast to walk. She also can't hear out of her left ear. Hiding her fear because she knows the cameras are on her, she crawls as quickly as she can back to her hiding place and gets there just as Cato and the others return.
Why didn't Katniss want Peeta's name called? Because he's one of the few people in her life that has shown her kindness and she never got to thank him for it.
Bread is also a gift from God: when Moses fed his people in the desert with food which fell from heaven, and during the last supper, when bread became the body of Christ. When Jesus multiplied the bread to feed the crowd, bread became a sign of sharing. It also symbolised the Word of God which nourished the crowds.
An accomplished painter and baker on account of working in his family's bakery his whole life (Suzanne Collins named the character Peeta because "Pita" is a kind of bread), Peeta also excels at hand-to-hand combat, camouflage, handling knives, and starting fires.
Why is it ironic that the mockingjays repeat the song that Katniss has sung to Rue?
The mockingjays repeat Rue's four note song when Katniss leaves Rue's body, as she hears a hovercraft arriving. This is ironic as the song was meant to mean that Rue was safe, but as Katniss says she is “good and safe” (pg. 287) but only because she is dead and no longer has to fight for survival in the Hunger Games.
District 12, in the Appalachian Mountains, is the poorest of the districts, and Katniss lives with her mother and sister in the poorest part of town, known as the Seam. Katniss's father, a coal miner, was killed in a mine explosion when Katniss was 11.
Her third kill occurs at the end of the Games. First, she shoots Cato in the hand so he will release Peeta. Cato falls off the Cornucopia and is attacked by the mutts. Once Katniss realizes that the dogs intend to draw out Cato's death, she uses her final arrow to kill Cato in an act of mercy.
While popular ships like Katniss/Peeta and Katniss/Gale generally come to mind first when discussing romantic pairings in the world of Panem, the combinations of couples that fans have shipped are many. One of those ships, in particular, is Cato and Clove (also known by the portmanteau "Clato").
Biography. During the interviews for the 75th Hunger Games, Peeta lied about Katniss being pregnant to try to protect her from the Games, and Katniss later stated that she miscarried due to an electric shock in the arena to avoid further questioning.
Katniss is a girl's name of Greek origin. It means "aquatic plant," which is fitting for your little water baby, who's bound to bloom and blossom like a beautiful plant.
Who sacrificed herself for Peeta in The Hunger Games?
The female Morphling, however, appears almost coincidentally, and Peeta even mentions that they don't know her real name. Given that she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect Peeta, it's safe to assume that the Morphling was committed to the rebel cause.
He jokes with her, whispering that it's okay to kiss him since they're madly in love, but once Katniss begins to clean him in the stream, she can see how weak he is.
He has betrayed her and is betraying all of District 12 by buddying up with the Careers, whom she calls the "Capitol's lapdogs." She decides that if the Careers don't kill him, she'd be more than happy to. Then, she wonders why Peeta hasn't told them about her bow and arrow skills yet.
