The Hunger Games Scene 4 Summary

Rock Stars

  • More media coverage: a glimpse into the fashion sense of the Capitol, which seems to believe that everyone should dress like David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust years.

  • Cinna expresses his condolences, and vows to do everything he can to dress her with dignity.
  • He's not congratulating her like the other idiots. This endears him to Katniss, who's not one for pretense.
  • Cinna adds a special touch to Katniss and Peeta's outfits: fire.
  • The Tributes line up for the parade, while Capitol citizens frolic in the revelries.
  • Media coverage bombards the screen with images of Panem President Snow, our commentators, and the Tributes as they proceed into the grand arena. The crowd goes wild.
  • Peeta grabs Katniss's hand; he knows the crowds will love it.
  • The mob screams out in delight as Peeta and Katniss raise their arms, hands interlocked with flames bursting from their costumes.
  • Show biz creep Caesar Flickerman dubs her "The Girl on Fire."
  • President Snow ascends his podium to address the throngs.
