The Hunger Games

When Peeta Mellark is selected to be the boy tribute, Katniss feels sick. She reminds us of a time right after her father died, and Peeta basically saved her life by giving her the burned bread. Make a prediction about how you think the games will play out. Will Katniss be able to kill Peeta? Will Peeta be willing to kill Katniss after saving her life?
