Rue tells Katniss about District 11. It's the agricultural district, but the workers aren't allowed to keep what they harvest.They're whipped if they're caught.
The people of District 11 show their gratitude for Katniss' kindness by sending her a loaf of bread. This is unique in the Games' history; never before has a district sent a gift to a tribute that was not its own. This is exactly the kind of interaction that the Capitol fears.
What is something Katniss learns about District 11 Rue's district in this chapter?
She didn't know anything about it before, since the Capitol makes sure that the districts don't know very much about each other. She learns that Rue's district is very poor as well and that they also struggle to get enough to eat, even though they're the district that provides most of the food.
She runs a bit of the way in and grabs a piece of plastic and some bread and fights with a boy over an orange pack. The boy is hit with a knife and dies, and Katniss takes off running. She lifts the pack behind her, protecting her head, and feels a knife embed itself there. Now she has a weapon.
What happens when Katniss speaks to the people of District 11?
After Katniss gives her speech in District 11, an old man whistles the four-note melody she and Rue had devised for the mockingjays in the arena. It's at that point that everyone raises up the gesture of respect used in District 12, implying that the melody was a signal.
What does District 11 send to Katniss to thank her?
Then Rue's home district, number 11, sends Katniss a loaf of silver bread covered in seeds, an important gift in the arena when tributes must fight or scavenge for any food they get. Katniss guesses that the gift is a thank-you from the district for the way she honored one of their tributes.
In many ways, Katniss' alliance with Rue is also an alliance with District 11. To thank her for her kindness to Rue, District 11 sends Katniss a loaf of bread, and Thresh, the boy tribute from District 11, lets Katniss go unharmed when he could have easily killed her.
One voice says that he'll go finish her off, and Katniss is shocked to recognize the voice as Peeta's. Katniss believes that Peeta is a complete hypocrite now, since he was talking about defying the Gamemakers the night before and has now joined the cruelest group of tributes in the arena.
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.
What do we learn about District 11 in The Hunger Games?
District 11 is the agricultural district in Panem. It is in charge of supplying the Capitol with fruit, grain, and vegetables. Because of the Capitol's incredible demand for food, children as young as twelve are put to work in District 11's fields and orchards. Both Rue and Thresh come from this district.
Rue's district, District 11, specializes in agriculture. She has had plenty of practice moving from tree to tree in her orchards at home before coming to the Games. She also knows about different berries and the types of leaves to use to relieve tracker jacker stings.
What do Peeta and Katniss see surrounding District 11?
In addition to the heavily guarded fence, the local government is known for being harsh and cruel; when Katniss and Peeta visited the district on their Victory Tour, they witnessed an old man being executed by Peacekeepers simply for whistling Rue's four note tune - though this may have been brought on by the fact that ...
District 11 had two known victors, Seeder and Chaff, who also died in the 75th Games. District 12, the smallest and the poorest of all the districts, had four victors. The prequel to The Hunger Games, titled The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, reveals Lucy Gray Baird was a victor from the 10th Hunger Games.
In the book, Katniss receives bread from District 11, sleep serum, burn medicine, soup, and lamb stew. In the movie, she receives burn medicine and soup.
In The Hunger Games film, District 11 citizens staged an uprising after the death of Rue in the 74th Hunger Games, having been inspired by Katniss Everdeen's compassion towards their young tribute.
In the film, Thresh's odds of winning change from 10–1 to 11–1. Afterward, they increase from 11–1 to 8–1. In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, Katniss states that Cato killed Thresh. However, this is not in-line with the film continuity, as Thresh was killed by the wolf mutts in the first film.
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").
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.
But Katniss also considers that Peeta shook his head at her at the Cornucopia, which may have been him watching out for her welfare, and that he didn't tell the Careers about her skill with a bow, preserving her advantage should she find one.
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. Like the other victors, she knows the power that Katniss has as a lightning rod for the rebellion, and she knows that Katniss will not help without Peeta.
Rue's dad doesn't start a riot in District 11 after his daughter's death. Haymitch doesn't convince the Game Maker to change the solo victor rule. The film annexes the briefly mentioned characters Madge Undersee, Mayor Undersee, Greasy Sae, and Venia.
