Katniss immediately realizes Beetee doesn't have something that's important to him, that's likely his main weapon and ignores the repulsion she feels to get it anyway. Not only does she risk herself for it, she treats Wiress with respect and says goodbye. Does that sound like someone cold or selfish? Do people need a refresher in basic definitions? Did we not read the same book? Is there some secret underground version written by mutt!Peeta Mellark?? If so please send me a copy because I have questions and he has probably answered them in that version of THG. Anyway, thanks for reading the latest installment of Iconic Katniss.

Something else that's noteworthy, jumping back a few chapters, even though Johanna slapped Katniss, Katniss still shows concern and respect for her. When she warns her not to go in the jabberjay section and by not trying to exclude her from being part of the discussion. Iconic Katniss strikes again, cause let me tell you the last person to slap me like that as a teenager did not fare well. Katniss is a better person than I. I'm wondering where that restraint is coming from. There's always a lot of discussion about how the events of THG didn't change Gale, it just exposed who he was inside. Whereas with Katniss we see her intellectual struggle, mainly in the first book. So was this restraint always there? Did the events shape this in her? Is this a post Games development? I'm curious if under different circumstances, say in D12, would Katniss have reacted to someone slapping her this way? Or would she still hold back?

I've always wondered why this was the chosen way to describe this injury. Thoughts?
