The epilogue would not happen if she chose Gale and Panem would still have The Hunger Games. This simple song actually started her fire, made her act upon her hatred towards the Capitol (wreathing Rue in flowers)/Rebels (shooting Coin) and also when she realized what Peeta said suddenly made sense after all.Īnd of course, The Meadow was also the place where her children play in the Epilogue, happy like her many years ago. One towards the Capitol and another towards the Rebels/Coin. Both very innocent, loved and dead, under different circumstances and both affected her differently. The Meadow Song was sang to Rue, the same song she sang to Prim. Here she find some of his ideas conflicted with hers. At the same time, Gale was putting on an idea how to snare hummingbirds and playing up to their instincts. Katniss realizes that the Capitol uses Peeta similarly as the light, waving him around but holding him just out of reach, and that Snow is torturing Peeta in direct response. She saw a spring-green (her favourite colour) hummingbird (a bird, she’s the mockingjay) feeding an orange (Peeta’s favourite colour) blossom (a flower, as represented by dandelion) That was how the bird survives. To pass time, Katniss plays a game with Buttercup called Crazy Cat that involves the cat frantically trying to catch the light that Katniss shines from a flashlight. A place she was able to play and be a child for once.The story started with a picnic with Gale overlooking the Meadow (last look on her childhood) This is also the place where she hid (a place for refuge) when her mother was angry when she sang The Hanging Tree (her father knew exactly where she was), a safe place for the people from District 12 to be when Capitol brought the bombs, for a tiny moment the author mentioned the tiniest detail about a place Meadow-like, where the hummingbirds were studied at Beetee’s work place in 13. It’s Buttercup’s presence that made Katniss came to terms with Prim’s death.ģ) I always have this impression that The Meadow is deemed as a beautiful place by Katniss. There is an interesting theory that Buttercup was Katniss’s alter ego (link provided) Well the name already suggested cat-like, also she was nicknamed ‘Catnip’ by Gale and remember who provided shelter for Katniss in the Capitol in Mockingjay? Tigris, the cat. There might be no love between Katniss and Buttercup but surely he is important. I don’t know if it’s the reaping or someday she will leave her (dead) along with her mother (to District 4)Ģ) Buttercup was mentioned very early in every book. I wrote some things here. I am hoping to write and have a good discussion with fellow Hunger Games fan.ġ) I have read in certain website discussing the same matter that Katniss waking up not finding her sister close by is foreshadowing something already. So I am writing some things that I wish to understand in the book.
