A few steps into the woods grows a bank of wildflowers. Perhaps they are really weeds of some sort, but they have blossoms in beautiful shades of violet and yellow and white. I gather up an armful and come back to Rue’s side. Slowly, one stem at a time, I decorate her body in the flowers. Covering the ugly wound. Wreathing her face. Weaving her hair with bright colors." -After Rue’s death, Katniss decides to place flowers all over the dead girl’s body. The act of honoring Rue in this manner reminds Katniss – and anyone watching – that Rue was an actual person worthy of dignity and respect. Rue’s death means something more to Katniss than just televised entertainment.

Will Katniss be punished for her rebellion? What will the Capitol do to regain its power?
