The Hunger Games Scene 15 Summary

End Game

  • Peeta and Katniss emerge from hiding to gather food.
  • As Katniss takes aim at a bird, a cannon sounds.
  • Katniss finds Peeta, who's been unwittingly gathering extremely poisonous berries.
  • Foxface has been following and eating the berries: she didn't know that they were deadly.
  • Katniss gathers the berries into her pocket hoping that they might come in handy for dispatching Cato.
  • A sudden darkness descends: the finale is here.
  • Another Tribute falls to the booming voice of the cannon: Thresh.
  • Now, it's just our two heroes and Cato left.
  • Peeta and Katniss move silently through the forest, but they're jumped by an enormous dog.
  • Katniss manages to get Peeta up and running towards the cornucopia to safety.
  • Well, not quite safety. Cato's there waiting.
  • There's a valiant battle atop the cornucopia that culminates in Cato grabbing Peeta and holding him hostage to keep Katniss from shooting him.
  • Katniss shoots a perfectly aimed arrow right through Cato's hand.
  • He lets go of Peeta's neck and Peeta throws him to the ravenous pack of animals salivating below.
  • Katniss compassionately puts one last arrow right between Cato's eyes to save him from his screams of agony as the dogs rip him limb from limb.
  • See why they call this dystopian?
