3. What does Katniss say the most impressive thing about the Capitol is? The audience finds it funny, but why might this actually be true in Katniss' case?

Katniss says the most impressive thing about the Capitol is the lamb stew. The public is amused, but Katniss spent a certain amount of food deprivation in her district, this stew being a food of much higher quality than the foods she had already eaten.

Explanation:

Katniss did not have access to quality food in large quantities, as she had to look for food so that the family would not go hungry. That's because Katniss's family was going through a lot of hardship. When she arrives at the Capitol, Katniss is impressed with the lamb wanted, as it was the first time she had easy access to food, moreover, the stew had a much higher quality than what she ate in her district.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
