Symmetry
After the first Games (CF Chapter 1)
I hunt. He bakes. Haymitch drinks. We have our own ways to stay busy, to keep thoughts of our time as contestants in the Hunger Games at bay.
After the War (MJ Chapter 27)
We learn to keep busy again. Peeta bakes. I hunt. Haymitch drinks until the liquor runs out, and then raises geese until the next train arrives.
#The first one is at the beginning of CF - they’re isolated going through the motions in a holding pattern#The second is at the end of MJ - this one gives the feeling of healing and forward movement#In the first instance they don’t actually need to do the thing#In the second they’re actions are seemingly feeding the hundreds who return to the district - 🍞 🥩 🥚#love when lines repeat but with different meanings#symmerty#first chapter of book 1 and last chapter of book 3#thg#Mockingjay#catching fire#the hunger games#the victors of district 12#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#haymitch abernathy
