The Hunger Games Ch. 13-15

What has happened in the book that seems important to the story?

In chapters 13 through 15, there were a lot of things that had occurred. However,there was one thing that I think will be very important to the story; When Katniss became allies with Rue.

Katniss was in the woods as she was cautiously treating her burns from the fire outburst with the medicine given by her sponsors. She then began to hear rustling in the leaves and realized that Rue had followed her. They then talked and became close friends.


I think that this can change the story because Katniss now has someone to rely on and care for her. For example, when they first met they were able to exchange ointments for their wounds and they were able to give each other comfort and a bit of happiness for once. They also trusted one another and thought of plans to work together in order for the other tributes to suffer (particularly the careers). Like when they helped each other out to destroy the other contestant’s food.

Although,

this can be bad for Katniss because sooner or later one of them is going to have to kill the other. If they become to close than they won't be able to complete the task. Also, now the other tributes are going to want to kill two birds with one stone so they may experience a lot of attackers.
