Catching Fire - Chapter 25 Summary

·      Katniss and her group awake and get 24 more bread rolls as a gift from sponsors.

·      Katniss starts to worry about what will happen to their group, as she knows their alliance can’t last forever. Only one can be the victor of theses Hunger Games. And Katniss wants Peeta to be the victor.

·      Katniss takes Peeta aside to talk to him. She tells him she thinks they should separate from their allies, but Peeta says they should stay with the group a little longer. Katniss decides to agree Peeta for the moment.

·      The allies then regroup and Beetee says they need to kill their opponents, who are not part of their alliance before they get killed themselves.

·      The group think that the other group must be close by.

·      Beetee suggests that they use his wire to create a trap, which when the lighting at 12 o’clock hits it will electrocute most of the arena. Everyone who is near the wire die straight away. Beetee says that their group will have to be far away so they don’t die as well.

·      The group are unconvinced but Beetee convinces them and they start to make the trap. They attach the wire to the tree, where the lightning always hits.

·      Katniss warns them about the force field, and where they will need to go to be safe from it. Beetee tests the force field, but no one understands what he is doing.

·      While Beetee makes the final adjustments to his trap, the others catch a lot of seafood, as the lightning shock will probably kill the whole fish supply. Peeta finds an oyster with a pearl in it, and gives the pearl to Katniss.

·      After Peeta gives her the pearl, he realises that Katniss is still going to save him over herself, and they are both very sad.

·      The group gets another 24 more rolls from sponsors.
