Haymitch's final advice is to start running at the sound of the gong, to ignore the Cornucopia and put as much distance as possible between themselves and the other tributes, and to find water. That night, sleep eludes Katniss, so she heads up to the rooftop to get some air. She finds Peeta there, his hands bandaged.

What does Haymitch want Katniss and Peeta to do with their stylists?
Haymitch makes a deal with them, promising that he will remain sober enough to help them. His next piece of advice is to let their stylists do whatever they want to them, not to resist.
As District 12's only surviving winner of the Hunger Games, Haymitch acts as Katniss's and Peeta's coach throughout the Games. Though he is drunk most, in fact nearly all, of the time, he proves a cunning advisor to the young tributes.
Later, at breakfast, she learns that Peeta has asked Haymitch to coach him separately, that he doesn't want to be Katniss' training mate anymore. This chapter serves to illustrate further how Katniss cares more about her family than she does herself.
She steps outside and a gift falls from the sky, a pot of broth. She understands the message Haymitch is sending her: kisses and romance will earn them gifts.
In the previous novel, he believed he couldn't save Katniss and Peeta, so he knew he had to choose one. He chose Katniss because she was the stronger competitor, and to help her win he forced her to take advantage Peeta's romantic feelings for her.
What does Haymitch think of Peeta and Katniss holding hands?
The conversation moves on to more discussion of the opening ceremonies, and Haymitch describes Katniss and Peeta's hand-holding as "Just the perfect touch of rebellion." This recalls the rebellious silence of the people of District 12 when Katniss sacrificed herself for her sister on the day of the reaping.
Katniss comes close to crying, something she knows she mustn't do because it would indicate weakness to the other tributes and make her look vulnerable; thankfully, Haymitch distracts the crowd and the cameras by stumbling off stage.

What is Haymitch advice to Katniss and Peeta Chapter 4?
If they don't interfere with his drinking, Haymitch says he'll help them. His first piece of advice is that whatever the stylists do to them, they shouldn't resist. The train finally arrives at the Capitol.
Katniss understands and asks if Peeta's been told about this, but Haymitch says he doesn't need to tell Peeta because "He's already there." As Katniss readies herself to take the stage, she realizes that, although she has made it out of the arena, the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games has begun.
He does not help Peeta during the Games as only one of them could live, and he knew Katniss stood the best chance, although it is implied that Peeta may have told him to help Katniss and not him.
The Hunger Games uses it as a symbol of defiance against the Capitol, adopted not only by Katniss but by members of the oppressed Districts who come to see her as their champion. The people in her home of District 12 use it as a long-standing gesture of respect, thanks, or good-bye.
Why does Katniss press her three middle fingers to her mouth and hold them out in Rue's direction?
Katniss is surprised by the motion, saying it is "an old and rarely used gesture of (District 12), occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means goodbye to someone you love.” Katniss later uses the salute to say goodbye to Rue, the young District 11 tribute she couldn't save.
Katniss asks Haymitch for advice, and his response is, “Stay alive.” Then he laughs. Peeta responds aggressively, knocking the glass out of Haymitch's hand, and Haymitch responds by punching Peeta in the jaw.
Due to the horror of his Games, his grief over his family's and girlfriend's deaths, and the overwhelming guilt he felt from being obligated to participate in the Games he hated while each and every one of his mentored tributes died in them, Haymitch turned to alcoholism to cope with his issues and feelings.
Clove figures among the favorites to win the games eventually won by Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), though the 15-year-old knife-thrower meets a grisly end at the hands of District 11's Thresh (Dayo Okeniyi) in a sequence that is both longer and more meaningful in the book.
Charlotte Sparke Honestly there is no cannon for either Marvel or Rue and personally I believe they just wanted the moment to be a sacred and special moment in the movie. It shows the death of Katniss's ally and only friend in the arena. Adding a cannon would have ruined the muse of the scene.
Why does Katniss scream Peeta's name at the end of Chapter 18?
Under the new rule, tributes from the same district will both be declared winners if they are the last two left alive. Katniss, realizing that she and Peeta can both survive, immediately calls out Peeta's name.
