Chapter 20

What is the main idea of this chapter?

How does teaming up with Peeta affect Katniss's chances in the games?

What three other tributes are likely to be struggling, now that the food source is destroyed?

When Katniss is desperate for medicine for Peeta, what does Haymitch send her?

Look at the section of chapter twenty where Katniss realizes what Peeta needs and she knows it is unlikely that the sponsors will be able to send it. Suzanne Collins writes, "I can't imagine the cost of such potent medicine."

In this context, what does "potent" mean?

Look at the section of chapter twenty where Katniss notes that the days have been getting hotter and the nights are getting colder. The author writes, "I swear the Gamemakers are progressively ratcheting up the temperatures in the daytime and sending it plummeting at night."

In this context, what is the definition of "ratcheting"?

In the same quote as the last question (also copied below), what is the definition of "plummeting"? "I swear the Gamemakers are progressively ratcheting up the temperatures in the daytime and sending it plummeting at night."

Is there anything that is unclear in this chapter?

Look at the section where Katniss finally finds water after nearly dehydrating. She knows she has to purify the liquid first, and thinks, "…I have just enough sense left to abstain."

In this context, what is the definition of "abstain"?

Question #5

Look at the section where Katniss is in the tree listening to the anthem and sees that there were no deaths that day. She thinks, "The audience will be sated seeing me injured and treed and the pack below me."

In this context, what does "sated" mean?
