I'm reading The Hunger Games for the first time, obviously I know bits because of the movies but it's so heartbreaking. the day of the reaping Katniss and Gale went out to gather, fish and trade for their families. Between them they have fish, bread, greens, strawberries, salt, paraffin, and some money to take home. Katniss's family has a stew made with the fish and greens, then they saved the strawberries and bread for the evening meal. Later Prim and their mother will have to go home without Katniss and eat the food she got for them. Her getting reaped is a gut punch enough but then to have to eat the food she got you (and they can't afford not to)? Ahhhh 😭
