Rue is a warm, compassionate, and considerate girl who fully understands the value of human life and refuses to kill the other tributes. She survives through evasion tactics instead. An optimistic and good-hearted girl, she forms an alliance with Katniss by helping her survive after she's injured.

Every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and then salutes Katniss with that hand.

It means thanks, it means admiration, it means goodbye to someone you love.

The Career Tributes are kids from the wealthier districts who have been in training for the Games for most of their lives.

Harry Styles.

Items are harvested or gathered.

Katniss and Peeta’s trainer. He is a drunk and one of only two people from District 12 to win the Hunger Games (and the only one still living).

Cinna looks much more “normal” than the others. His hair is a natural shade of brown, and he wears a simple black shirt and pants. The only makeup he wears is a light layer of eyeliner.

Katniss is angry with herself for her behavior toward the Gamemakers. She feels like she has now ruined any chance she may have had in the Games. She wonders if they will arrest her, cut out her tongue, or even execute her for her actions.
However, her greatest fears are not for herself, but for her family. She is frightened that the authorities will make Prim and her mother suffer for her own impulsive actions. She anxiously wonders, “Will they take their few belongings, or send my mother to prison and Prim to the community home, or kill them?”

The male tribute from District 2. He is a career tribute, meaning he has trained for the Hunger Games his entire life, and he is large, short-tempered, and a fierce fighter.

They wear black unitards, leather boots, and large, flowing capes made of orange, yellow, and red fabric. The capes are made to resemble flames, a reference to the burning of coal for fuel. Cinna also plans to light the capes on fire with synthetic flames as Katniss and Peeta’s chariot rolls through the streets.

Katniss is upset because she thinks Peeta’s announcement made her look foolish and weak. She had been unprepared for it and is worried that her reaction made her look stupid in front of the cameras. Moreover, she feels used. She thinks that Haymitch and Peeta devised the idea for Peeta’s own benefit.

Not so hard, I just have to understand the story.

1) cramped, confined, closed in

2) uncaring; not interested

3) illegally hunting

Peeta’s father, the town baker. He gives her cookies, a luxury item she and her family are never able to buy. Before he departs, he tells Katniss that he will keep an eye on Prim and make sure that the young girl is eating.

Madge is her next visitor. She gives Katniss a pin to wear during the Games. It is a circular gold pin depicting a small bird in flight. Madge fastens it onto Katniss’s dress and gives Katniss a kiss before she leaves.

Gale is her last visitor. He gives her a hug and imparts some crucial advice on how to survive the Games. He says that she must get a bow or make one, as this is the type of weapon at which she is skilled.

One day, she and Gale had been hidden in the forest, waiting for the game to appear. From their hiding place, they saw a girl and boy in tattered clothing running through the woods. It was obvious to Katniss and Gale that the frantic couple was not from District 12 and was clearly in some kind of trouble. Suddenly, a hovercraft appeared above them. The people in the craft dropped down a net and captured the girl. Then, they shot a spear through the boy, apparently killing him, and carried him up as well. A moment later, the hovercraft was gone.
What Katniss does not tell Peeta is that the girl had actually seen her and Gale at one point. She reveals to the reader, “There was a moment, after the birdcall, but before the hovercraft, where the girl had seen us. She’d locked eyes with me and called out for help. But neither Gale or I had responded.”

Yes, obviously.
