In The Hunger Games Katniss does not go and get the bow for a two main reasons. Number one is that by the time she would have gone after it the careers would have already of been there, and secondly Haymitch told her the first thing to do was put distance between her and the others, if she wanted to stay alive.

How is peeta responsible for foxfaces death?

Peeta is responsible for Foxface's death because as Katniss was hunting, he was collecting berries, although he didn't know they were Nightlock, a very poisonous berry. As Peeta stores them in his bag and walks away to go and get Katniss, Foxface tries to steal these berries and eats one of them also not knowing they are Nightlock. This makes Peeta the one responsible because he is the one that picked them and put them in his bag, although it was Foxface's fault for trying to steal them.


Why does the boy from district 3 shock the gamemakers?

He was an overall boring tribute in the training and the interviews, so they expected him to die early. District 3 produces electronics, so the boy from District 3 was able to make mines (explosives) under the food pile that would explode on pressure if anyone were to try to steal food. He made the mines by digging up parts of the metal plates that lifted the tributes up from under ground at the beginning of the games and using the pieces to make bombs. The plates deactivate after 60 seconds, but somehow the boy was able to reactivate them. This was most likely frowned upon by the gamemakers considering Haymitch did a similar thing in his games and was punished for it.


How does katniss destroy the food supply in the camp set up by the career tributes?

she knew that the careers had it rigged so if someone would try to steal it, a bomb would go off. so from a distance, she shot one of her arrows at a sack of apples, and the apple bag tore and one of the apples fell out, triggering the bomb, which destroyed all the food and supplies.

What will be katnesses plan to roe in The Hunger Games?

In the movie of The Hunger Games, Rue and Katniss's plan is to blow up the group of ally's food all in a pile. That ally includes Cato, Foxface, Thresh, Marvel, and I'm not sure but I think Glimmer. That ally is bad/evil. Katniss, Rue, Peeta, and a blond girl ( I forget her name ) are not part of the alliance. This ally is good. Katniss and Rue become very close in the game. Katniss and Peeta are not in a ally yet because The evil allies keep him so that he can give away Katniss. After he would give her away they would kill him while sleeping. The bad ally gathered all the food in the game so there is a huge stack of it. They put mines around the food so nobody could take it. The blond girl of the good ally avoided the mines and took berries. Rue and Katniss split up and when Katniss blew up the food, she would whistle a rythem to the mockingjays so that they would repeat her. So Katniss was in the bushes watching someone guard the food when she took an arrow and shot the bag of apples. An apple fell out of the bag causing it to land on a mine causing another mine to blow up. She and Rue wanted to blow up the food because the people from those districts only knew how to steal/get manmade food and not meat. They did not know how to hunt animals and they didn't know what parts to eat. So the people from those districts will have a hard time getting their food. After Rue and Katniss met up again, they were planning how to kill them. Rue saw Marvel with a bow and arrow and turned Katniss around. Marvel was about 5 feet away from them and was going to shoot Katniss. Katniss ducked but Rue didn't. Katniss than shot Marvel. Katniss turned around and saw Rue with an arrow in her chest. Katniss was crying and trying to save her. She was singing to Rue but then Rue died. Katniss took A whole bunch of flowers and put them in Rue's hand. She was crying out loud and did the 3 finger sign to the camera. Rue's dad was crying and the people of district 11 ( where Rue is from ) were fighting the guards. God Bless Rue :)


Why did the tunnel remind Katniss of?

The tunnel reminded Katniss of the mines, which is her biggest fear because when she was 11 her father was "blown to bits" in a mining explosion, so now she can't even stand to think about a mine let alone being in one.

What is Katniss Everdeen's weapon of choice in the hunger games?

Foxface doesn't really have a weapon of choice in The Hunger Games. Her strategy is an evasive one, and not to attack. It does mention though that when the Careers' stock pile is destroyed she digs through it to find useful things. Katniss mentions that she takes a metal pot and a knife blade before running away.

For the same reason that most thieves take expensive things. If they are valuable, they will be able to sell them on the black market for more. Worthless things are unable to be sold, and therefore pointless to steal.
