·         “Finnick is trying to tell me something, but I can’t hear him. What I do finally hear is another bird starting up somewhere to my left. And this time, the voice is Gale’s. ·         Finnick catches my arm before I can run. ‘No. it’s not him.’ He starts pulling me downhill, toward the beach. But Gale’s voice is so full of pain I can’t help struggling to reach it. ‘It’s not him, Katniss! It’s a mutt!’ Finnick shouts at me. ‘Come on!’ He moves me along, half dragging, half carrying me, until I can process what he said."	·         342-3	·         (R) Katniss, at times, can be such deadweight! If I was Finnick, I would have left her to run around, or whatever it was that her little brain desired, and gotten myself out of there! That girl knows that Gale is not actually in the arena and chasing his voice would do more harm than good yet she still tries to chase it!!! She was the one who found out that the voices were coming from mutts anyway! I mean, come on Katniss! I know rationality is not one of your strong suits, but pull it together! For Peeta’s sake.
