Quote #1
KATNISS: It's a mockingjay pin. To protect you. And as long as you have it, nothing bad will happen to you. Okay? I promise.
It's a beautiful thought, though it doesn't quite work for Prim. For Katniss, however? That symbol might just have given her the hope she needs to survive all of this.
Quote #2
KATNISS: Prim. Listen. You're gonna be okay. Don't take any extra food from them. It isn't worth putting your name in more times. Okay? Listen, Prim. Gale will bring you game. You can sell cheese from your goat.
PRIM: Just try to win. Maybe you can.
KATNISS: Of course. And maybe I can. I am smart you know.
PRIM: And you can hunt.
KATNISS: Exactly.
Katniss's world has just ended, and she's more concerned about Prim's survival. That actually bodes well for Katniss in the arena; it's her own motivation to survive.
