Homework:
Dear
parents/guardians, please assist your child with today homework.
Option
1:
(Peeta
has just declared that he loves Katniss on a live interview):
For
a moment, the cameras hold on Peeta’s downcast eyes as what he says sinks in.
Then I can see my face, mouth half open in a mix of surprise and protest,
magnified on every screen as I realize, Me! He means me! I press my lips
together and stare at the floor, hoping this will conceal the emotions starting
to boil up inside of me.
“Oh, that is a piece of bad luck,” says
Caesar, and there’s a real edge of pain in his voice. The crowd is murmuring in
agreement, a few have even given agonized cries.
“It’s
not good,” agrees Peeta.
“Well,
I don’t think any of us can blame you. It’d be hard not to fall for that young
lady,”says Caesar. “She didn’t know?”
Peeta
shakes his head. “Not until now.”
I
allow my eyes to flicker up to the screen long enough to see that the blush on
my cheeks is unmistakable.
“
Wouldn’t you love to pull her back out here and get a response?” Caesar asks
the audience. … “Sadly, rules are rules, and Katniss Everdeen’s time has been
spent. Well, best of luck to you, Peeta Mellark, and I think I speak for all of
Panem when I say our hearts go with yours.” The roar of the crowd is deafening.
Peeta has absolutely wiped the rest of us off the map with his declaration of
love for me. When the audience finally settles down, he chokes out a quiet
“Thank you” and returns to his seat.
We
stand for the anthem. I have to raise my head out of the required respect and
cannot avoid seeing that every screen is now dominated by a shot of Peeta and
me…
Questions:
What
is Katniss’ first reaction when Peeta confesses his feelings on t.v.?
