Chapter Summary:

They get only one hour to say goodbye to family and loved ones.

Prim and Mother visit Katniss. She gives them instructions for her absence. They are not to accept tesserae for Prim, but instead get by selling goat milk and Mother's apothecary business. Gale is to supply the herbs. Katniss warns her mother that she can't become depressed again and "clock out," leaving Prim on her own. Prim makes Katniss promise to try to win; despite Katniss's doubts about her ability in the competition, she agrees. The next visitor is, to Katniss's surprise, Peeta Mellark's father, the baker. Without his witchy wife around, he's much nicer. He offers Katniss a white paper package of cookies and promises to keep an eye of Prim. After the baker leaves, Madge, the mayor's daughter enters the room. She offers Katniss a circular gold pin to wear as a token of District 12. On the pin is a small bird. Katniss agrees.

Impressions/Thoughts:

Why is not enough for them to fight for victory but not death??
