Katniss and Peeta's feast in the cave comes with silverware and plates. I always found this odd- it seemed as if it would have inflated the cost frivolously. I figured it had something to do with standards in the captiol, especially with how Effie remarks about table manners on the train.

Katniss, Haymitch, and the Seam inhabitants are all described as olive-skinned, brown-eyed (edit: and gray-eyed), and dark-haired.

Peeta, Maysilee, Katniss’ mother and the Merchants are largely described as blond haired, blue eyed, light-skinned.

The Hunger Games adaptations have a huge weakness to their casting because they allowed their white audience to overlook this very important fact, that the Mockingjay is a brown girl, that her mother was disowned for having a mixed-race and mixed-class marriage, that Katniss and Haymitch were long shots not just because they’re Seam but because they are brown… because the only brown characters in the movies (i.e. Rue, Thresh, 11 in general) were there to be tragic, not to be saviors.

Katniss Everdeen is brown, and I won’t forgive or forget the movies for erasing that part of her character.

‘she's not an easy person. she's like me, peeta always says. but she was smarter than me, or luckier. she's the one who finally kept that sun from rising.’

.Tam Amber (known by Lucy gray) and raised Lenore Dove made it for Maysilee Donner

.Maysilee Donner was the daughter of the mayor and best friend of katniss' mom, and would become a tribute of the 50th games - Haymitch's games

.Maysilee said if she ever made it out of the capitol maybe shed start wearing it

.Maysilee never got the chance but years later her twin sister (Merilee) gave it to her daughter Madge who gave it to Katniss because they were best friends

.So even after Maysilee died a part of her was the LITERAL face of the rebellion, she will never be silenced

I'll see you tomorrow.

and then the farmer gets two or three clips in, and the sheep just sort of chills out, and realizes it feels kind of nice. and their coat comes off and five minutes later they're released, shorn and naked, and they go run around with the other freshly-shorn sheep. they rub their skin against the hay and the barn walls and each other, and get startled by the new textures. sometimes they get cold, so they huddle up together or get a under a blanket.
