Discussion questions
- 1When Katniss finds moments of quiet in the woods outside District 12, how does the peacefulness of creation contrast with the artificial oppression of the Capitol?
- 2Describe what Katniss fears most when forced back into the Quarter Quell, and examine whether her strength comes from self-preservation or her devotion to Peeta and Prim.
- 3Does Katniss and Peeta's willingness to protect one another at great personal cost better reflect John 15:13 or Philippians 2:4, and why?
- 4Think of a peer who is being treated unfairly, and plan one concrete step you can take to stand up for them this week.
