Chapter 6: Training Begins

The tributes start their group training sessions. Haymitch advises Katniss and Peeta to stay together and appear as allies, much to their dismay. They focus on learning new skills rather than showcasing their strengths to avoid giving away advantages to other tributes.

Highlight: Katniss' suspicion of Peeta grows, complicating their forced alliance.

The chapter ends with the private sessions where tributes demonstrate their skills to the Gamemakers. Katniss, frustrated by their lack of attention, shoots an arrow at the Gamemakers' table in a bold and risky move.

Chapter 1: The Reaping

The story opens on the morning of the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen goes hunting illegally with her friend Gale to provide for their families. At the reaping ceremony, Katniss' younger sister Prim is selected as tribute. Katniss immediately volunteers to take her place, alongside the male tribute Peeta Mellark.

Highlight: Katniss' selfless act of volunteering as tribute to save her sister's life sets the entire plot in motion.

Katniss has a complicated history with Peeta. Years ago, when her family was starving, Peeta gave her burnt bread that saved their lives. Now they must face each other as opponents in a fight to the death.

Quote: "Now I am in a kind of debt to him. If I'd thanked him at some point, I'd be feeling less conflicted now. I thought about it a couple of times, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself."

Chapter 3: Journey to the Capitol

As Katniss and Peeta continue their train journey, they interact with their mentor Haymitch Abernathy, a former victor known for his drinking problem. After a rocky start, they strike a deal - Haymitch will seriously mentor them if they don't interfere with his drinking.

Example: When Haymitch arrives drunk and vomits, Peeta helps clean him up, showing his caring nature.

Katniss begins to grow suspicious of Peeta's kindness, wondering if it's all an act for the Games. As they arrive in the Capitol, both tributes are overwhelmed by the opulent and strange city.

Highlight: The stark contrast between the poverty of District 12 and the excess of the Capitol becomes apparent.

Chapter 4: Preparing for the Tribute Parade

Katniss meets her stylist Cinna, who plans to make District 12 memorable at the tribute parade. He designs complementary costumes for Katniss and Peeta featuring synthetic flames, playing on their district's coal mining industry.

Quote: "I want the audience to recognize you when you're in the arena," says Cinna dreamily. "Katniss, the girl who was on fire."

At the parade, Katniss and Peeta hold hands and present a united front, capturing the crowd's attention with their fiery entrance. Their success makes the other tributes jealous, adding to the tension before the Games begin.

Chapter 7: Scoring and Strategy Shift

The aftermath of Katniss' impulsive act during her private session leaves her worried about potential punishment. However, she receives a surprisingly high score of 11 out of 12, marking her as a top contender.

Quote: "I guess they liked your temper," says Haymitch. "They've got a show to put on. They need some players with some heat."

Peeta scores an 8, solidifying both District 12 tributes as serious competitors. The dynamics between Katniss and Peeta shift again when Peeta requests to be coached separately, breaking their earlier agreement to work together.

Chapter 5: Strategy and Secrets

The team discusses strategies for gaining sponsors, which will be crucial for survival in the arena. Later, Katniss recognizes one of the serving staff as an Avox - a criminal whose tongue has been cut out as punishment.

Definition: Avox - A person punished for being a traitor to the Capitol by having their tongue cut out and forced into servitude

Katniss and Peeta have a private conversation on the roof about the Avox, revealing that Katniss had seen the girl captured by Peacekeepers while hunting illegally. This shared secret creates a tentative bond between them.
