Pollux is an Avox, or a mute; he lost his voice as punishment for a crime and had to serve as a mute servant in the Capitol for years. We see his pain and joy when he cries as Katniss and the mockingjays sing to each other during a propo.
Pollux is an Avox cameraman who filmed Katniss Everdeen in the District 13 propos. As an Avox, he was charged for rebellion, and therefore forced to perform slave work.
Who is the avox girl and why does Katniss recognize her?
The "Avox Girl", as Katniss Everdeen called her, later turns out to be named Lavinia. Katniss calls her the "Avox Girl" because she is an Avox, or a traitor enslaved by the Capitol. Since her tongue has been cut out, she cannot speak. Katniss first meets Lavinia in the dangerous woods outside District 12.
What is the purpose of an avox in The Hunger Games?
An Avox is a criminal, usually arrested for a political crime. Instead of being killed or jailed, they have their tongues cut out or mutilated to prevent them from speaking. Then they would be made into servants or laborers in the Capitol. Some Avox's are underground like Pollux and Castor describe in Mockingjay.
Before the girl was taken, she locked eyes with Katniss and called out for help, and Katniss still feels guilty for doing nothing to help her. Katniss was a bystander, as if watching the Hunger Games herself. She doesn't tell Peeta this part, though, and she wonders if the girl will enjoy watching her die.
Katniss says she knows the avox which would suggest that she was part of the crime, so Peeta says the avox just looks like a girl from their class, Delly Cartwright, thereby separating Katniss from knowing the girl.
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.
Personality… flighty, sometimes overly cheerful, and a master in Capitol protocol and manners. Effie tries to attempt to remain positive despite her taxing job being Peeta and Katniss' liaison to the Capitol, especially when she has the full knowledge that the two probably will never come back from the games alive.
What is Haymitch's last piece of advice before they take the stage?
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.
Katniss was drawn to Rue as she reminded her of her little sister Prim and sought to protect her in the Games. It was to end in tragedy, however. Katniss killed Marvel from District 1, but only after Marvel murdered Rue.

Black, oily matter spouts like a geyser from the street, billowing between the buildings, creating an impenetrable wall of darkness. It seems to be neither liquid nor gas, mechanical nor natural. So it's a tarlike substance designed to drown people.
At magnitude 1.16, Pollux is among the 20 brightest stars in either hemisphere. All of this makes it an interesting object, but another fact that sets Pollux apart is its exoplanet, discovered by its gravitational pull on its host star.
While, throughout the series, there's some chemistry between the two, nothing ever comes of the tension in Suzanne Collins' novels. Beyond the kiss, nothing happened between the two in the movies either.
even then, both of them had very different ways of achieving their success. haymitch is all sarcasm and rough prodding whereas effie tries to be as sweet, and patient as possible. effie is from the capitol, she cares about fashion and food and decorations whereas haymitch....just wants his liquor.
What happened to cashmere after she won the Hunger Games?
Immediately after Gloss's death, Cashmere charges at Katniss with a knife, apparently intent on killing her, but Johanna digs her axe into Cashmere's chest, killing her.
Toward the end of the novel, Katniss realizes that Haymitch has been keeping information from her and using her to help the rebellion, causing her to feel extremely betrayed. On the other hand, his goals are generally good ones.
Katniss realizes that she kind of hates Haymitch because he's apparently not very good at supporting his tributes – or getting them sponsors (the people who give aid and supplies to the tributes during the game). Katniss asks Haymitch for advice, and he says "stay alive" (4.40) and then laughs.
The second quarter quell's special stipulation was that the Capitol would reap double the amount of children, meaning Haymitch had double the amount of tributes (47) who needed to die for him to live. He trained well, showing skill with a knife, and was given odds of 10-1 in winning.
Later, the two learn President Snow considered their actions to be an act of rebellion against the Capitol. After their last interview, in which the two continue to affect their romantic feelings for one another, Peeta comes to the realization Katniss has staged her love for him all along.
What did Peeta mean when he called Katniss a mutt?
While a prisoner of the Capitol, Peeta was hijacked into believing that Katniss was not human, but in fact one of the Capitol's mutts. Conversely, Johanna Mason suggested that the Capitol's torture replaced Peeta with an "evil-mutt version" of himself. This sentiment was later echoed by Katniss.
Why didn't they let Katniss and Peeta eat the berries?
If Katniss and Peeta had eaten the nightlock berries, they would've died, and there wouldn't have been any winners for the 74th Hunger Games. The rebellion would've moved forward with Katniss and Peeta as martyrs for the movement.
