"Sing? I think. Sing what? I do know a few songs. Believe it or not, there was once music in my house, too. Music I helped make. My father pulled me in with that remarkable voice — but I haven’t sung much since he died. Except when Prim is very sick. Then I sing her the same songs she liked as a baby. Sing. My throat is tight with tears, hoarse from smoke and fatigue. But if this is Prim’s, I mean, Rue’s last request, I have to at least try. The song that comes to me is a simple lullaby, one we sing fretful, hungry babies to sleep with, It’s old, very old I think. Made up long ago in our hills. What my music teacher calls a mountain air. But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece of time we call today. -- Chapter 18, "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

Something smart about Rue bringing back the music that Snow tried to drive away.

Art as resistence, etc.

@meathungrylamb : walk me through it again . so i know you won't crack under questioning . - anakin

“ no . ” padme's voice is stern but delicate when she speaks , her brows furrowed as she looks up from the various papers strewn on the desk in front of her . [ propo plans , something about trying to get katniss to cooperate , another thing about the expected air raids on district 7 ] — all various things she needs to attend to ' when she has a chance ' , which means quick or alma will give her that look that means she's in trouble . she looks up at the other , then , drawing in a deep sigh .

“ i won't crack because i never crack , anakin . i don't need your coaching and you know that . ” i've been doing this for much longer than you hangs in the air at the end of it like a poisoned knife .

Question about Delly & her merchant side?

Why do we assume she’s comes from a cobbler?  I don’t remember it being in any of the books.  The first time we hear about Delly is when Katniss recognizes Lavinia the Avox, Peeta quickly covers up and says Lavinia looks like Delly.  We all know Lavinia does not look like Delly. 

Could I be wrong in assuming that like today baby name trends change with time, so too in District Twelve this happened.  We know Peeta is a play on bread the business his parents own.  Could it be that her name is a play on the business her parents owned.  Her name is Delly, like a Deli...delicatessen...place where delicious food was made.  She is described as having some more weight on her.  I would think Delly would most likely come from a family that dealt with food. Maybe they made cheese’s, sausages, pickled food they grew, or sold pastas, salads etcetera.  What do you guys think?
