1.District 12 comes up last, as usual. Peeta pulls an eight so at least a couple of the Gamemakers must have been watching him. I dig my fingernails into my palms as my face comes up,expecting the worst. Then they’re flashing the number eleven on the screen.

I think this quote is significant because it shows how everything looks down on district 12 because they are the least wealthiest district in Panem. Katniss believes, that she will probably not get a high mark because she’s from district 12 and so when she went in for her session no one really acknowledge her or even cared. Also the fact that she shot an arrow at where she wasn’t supposed to, so she was scared that her family might be in danger. But when she got a number 11 it shocked everyone. Usually Careers get an 8 or 9 but Peeta got an 8 and Katniss got an 11 which is a really big shock to everyone. Since they are from district 12 and didn’t seem that skilled everyone assumed they wouldn’t do as good.
2. Two tributes can win this year. If they’re from the same district. Both can live. Both of us can live. Before I can stop myself, I call out Peeta’s name.

I think this quote is significant because with the new change of rules, it shows what a difference Katniss and Peeta made. Everyone likes the idea of star crossed lovers and so they probably would want Katniss and Peeta to work together to try and win the games. This has never happened in the games so the fact that it did in this one shows that this is a big deal. Also Katniss calling out Peeta’s name without thinking about it first shows she somewhat cares about him and is happy that she doesn’t want to kill him or him being killed even with her doubts about him in the beginning of the games.
3. For a moment, I’m almost foolishly happy and then confusion sweeps over me. Because we’re supposed to be making up this stuff, playing at being in love not actually being in love.

I think this quote is significant because I think it shows how Katniss is starting to develop feelings for Peeta. During the whole time in the Games Katniss and Peeta were only supposed to be pretending to be in love with each other but having to spend their time together in the arena Katniss is starting to actually like him more, and Peeta as we all believe already liked her since he was 5. So it shows us that Katniss is really falling for Peeta but is confused about her feelings because there’s still Gale on her mind
