3. What score was Rue given and why is that surprising?

4. What score was Katniss given? What possible reason was given for her surprisingly high score?  How was it tied in with the theme of "the girl who was in fire"?

7.  What is a foil?  Which characters are being used as foils of each other in this chapter?
