Last Time On
“Catching Fire”
Here is what you have missed so far, if you have not been reading the anchor
book each day.
The Quarter Quells
• Every 25 years, the Capitol has a special version of the
“Hunger Games.” It is called the Quarter Quells.
• This year, each district must send two of their former
winning tributes.
• Katniss and Peeta volunteer and use Haymitch as their
mentor.
Training
• Katniss and Peeta both upset the judges by doing their
version of rebelling.
• Katniss hangs a dummy of Seneca Crane, the head
gamemaker from the previous Hunger Games/
• Peeta draws a picture of Rue, who died in the previous
games.
• Haymitch advises befriending allies and he/Katniss
want to make sure that Peeta survives.
The Games Begin
• Katniss and Arena soon form an alliance with Finnick,
Mags, Johanna, Beetee, and Wiress but Mags and
Wiress die in the process.
• The group learns that the Arena is shaped like a clock
with each section an hour of the day. During that hour,
the gamemakers have created a challenge for the
tributes to overcome. Many do not.
Emotional Torture
• Besides the usual gamemaker tactics like muttations
that sting and huge waves that drown, the Capitol
planned some particularly vile ways to hurt the
tributes. One such way was to play recordings of the
tributes loved ones screaming in pain. The tributes
don’t know if the recording are real or not.
The End Is Near..
• Beetee has a plan to electrocute the others using the
Arena’s lighting and his wire.
• The plan goes awry, Katniss is stabbed, several tributes
dies. Katniss decides perhaps it is time for her to die as
well to ensure Peeta’s safety but in the nick of time, she
realizes that there is another way.
