“He didn't mind the jabberjays so much — they seemed rather interesting from a military standpoint — but something about the mockingjays repelled him. He distrusted their spontaneous creation. Nature running amok. They should die out, and die out soon.”

Foreshadowing to Snow hating mockingjays and Katniss.

“Drawing close, he took in the song she sang as she quietly strummed her guitar.
Are you, are you Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three?
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
He didn't recognize it, but it brought to mind the hanging of the rebel two days before. Had she been there? Had it prompted this?”

And he wanted to keep her. Safe and close at hand. Admired and admiring. Devoted. And entirely, unequivocally his. If what she'd said just before she kissed him — "The only boy my heart has a sweet spot for now is you" — was true, then wouldn't she want that, too?

"I don't know. I didn't have any choice."
"I know that. Of course I know that." Tigris put her arms around him. "I just hate what they're doing to you."
"I'm okay," he said. "It won't last much longer. And even if I don't win, I'm a shoo-in for some sort of prize. Really, I think things are about to take a turn for the better."
"Right. Yes. I'm sure they are. Snow lands on top," she agreed.

Slowly foreshadowing

"You're not alone." He took her hand. "And you won't be alone in the arena; we'll be together. I'll be there every moment. I won't take my eyes off of you. We'll win this thing together, Lucy Gray.
I promise."
She clung to him. "Sounds almost possible, the way you say it."
"It's more than possible," he asserted. "It's probable. lt’s inevitable, if you just follow the plan."

It’s good but why so long? 😂

“His mind could fixate on a problem like that — anything, really — and not let go. As if controlling one element of his world would keep him from ruin. It was a bad habit that blinded him to other things that could harm him. A tendency toward obsession was hardwired into his brain and would likely be his undoing if he couldn't learn to outsmart it.”

Subtle foreshadowing

"I know what blood poisoning is, Katniss, says Peeta. "Even if my mother isn't a healer."
I’m jolted back in time, to another wound, another set of bandages. "You said that same thing to me in the first Hunger Games. Real or not real?"
"Real," he says. "And you risked your life getting the medicine that saved me?" “Real.” I shrug. “You were the reason I was alive to do it.”

Well this is depressing

"President Snow once admitted to me that the Capitol was fragile. At the time, I didn't know what he meant. It was hard to see clearly because I was so afraid. Now I'm not. The Capitol's fragile because it depends on the districts for everything. Food, energy, even the Peacekeepers that police us. If we declare our freedom, the Capitol collapses. President Snow, thanks to you, I'm official declaring mine today?"

“but its a funny thing, the dynamic that you share with your other characters often becomes the dynamic that takes place with the actors. It bleeds into the experience of it ll and it takes hold. So all the dynamics you se in the film were heightened 100 percent in reality.”
