The second strategy of Katniss is their love relationship. the Katniss partner from Distric 12, Peeta Mellark. Peeta announced to public that he was madly in
love with Katniss. Their romance became a key strategy for their survival in the arena. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Peeta Mellark, announced he was madly in love with me. Our romance became a key strategy for our survival in the arena. Peeta and I will have to
present ourselves as lovers again.” Collins, 2009:9
She must convince everyone in the districts that she was crazy with love. A direct death threat to Gale, and also to everyone who loved. Everyone her love
doomed. She must search how to the way she can proving to the country beyond any shadow of a doubt that she love Peeta. It can be seen from the following
quote: “A visit from President Snow. Districts on the verge of uprisings. A direct
death threat to Gale, with others to follow. Everyone I love doomed. And how? By proving to the country beyond any and shadow of a doubt that I
love Peeta.” Collins, 2009:30
Presiden Snow knows that Katniss only pretend to love Peeta. It can be seen from the following quote:
“After that, there was nothing to do but let you play out your little scenario. And you were pretty good, too, with the love-crazed schoolgirl bit. The
people in the Capitol were uite convinced. Unfortunately, not everyone in the districts fell for your act.” Collins 2009:21
The third strategy of Katniss is hide the feeling of love for Gale, and Gale makes a cousin. Gale is a closefriend of Katniss in District 12. They are always
together and spend time to hunting in the woods. His Mom really knows her relate with Gale. But, most of the people in District 12 just know that Gale is Katniss’s
cousin. It can be seen from the following quote:

“Gale going to see you off?” she asks me. “No, he wasn’t on the list,” I say. “ I saw him Sunday, though.” “Think he’d have made the list. Him
being your cousin and all,” she says wryly. Collins 2009:12
Katniss realizes that President Snow knows that she and Gale are not blood related or cousin. It can be seen from the following quote:
“…..and then there’s her family to think nof. Her mother, her sister, and all those…cousins.” By the way he lingers on the word “cousins,” I can tell he
knows that Gale nd I don’t share a family tree. Collins 2009:20
Presiden Snow threat to Katniss that he would kill Gale and his family, Katniss’ family, and Peeta’s family. Because, Katniss have ignored Peeta and
flaunted my preference for Gale’s company before the whole district. It can be seen from the following quote:
“President Snow’s eyes bore into me on the heels of his threat to kill Gale. From the president’s point of view, I’ve ignored Peeta and flaunted my
preference for Gale’s company before the whole district. Now, I’ve endangered Gale and his family and my family and Peeta, too, by my
carelessness.” Collins 2009:28
The fourth strategy of Katniss is planning wants to run away by going to the woods and run from District 12. She tells this plan to Gale. Gale good responds of
her plans. It can be seen from the following quote: “Let’s skip ahead to this plan of yours,”he says. I take a deep breath. “We
run away.” “what?” he asks. “we take to the woods and make a run for it,” I say. “okay, let’s run away,” he says. “really? You don’t think I’m mad?
You’ll go with me?” “ I do think you’re mad and I’ll still go with you,” he says. He means it. Not only means it but welcomes it. “we can do it. I know
we can. Let’s get out of here and never come back” Collins 2009: 95-96
Actually, Gale approved this plan but when Katniss told that follow with them too much, Gale was immediately decided that he would stay at District 12. It can
be seen from the following quote:

“ I’m sorry. I didn’t realize how large our party was,” he snaps at me.” Collins 2009: 98
Katniss still forced Gale to go out from District 12 because she didn’t want to look at the people who her loved to kill by Capitol. But Gale says to Katniss that
he never go out until whenever. Gale it says because he thought the condition of other families not only his family. It can be seen from the following quote:
“what about the other families, Katniss? The ones who can’t run away? Don’t you see? It can’t be about just saving us anymore.” Collins

The fifth strategy of Katniss is marry with Peeta. She realizes that there’s only one future, if she want to keep those she love alive and stay alive herself. Namely,
she must marry with Peeta. It can be seen from the following quote: “… there’s only one future, if I want to keep those I love alive and stay
alive myself. I’ll have to marry Peeta.” Collins 2009:44
The sixth strategy of Katniss is lies to public about the wedding and Katniss’s Pregnant. The lies began when Peeta interviewed by Caesar. When Caesar asks
Peeta about marriage. Caesar told him do you realize there will be no wedding? Then Peeta says that hes married. The audience and Caesar shocking with the
statement. Then, Caesar asked him how can that be marriage. And Peeta replied casually and he says didn’t formal marriage. We didn’t go to the Justice Building
or anything. But there is marriage ritual in District Twelve. According to Peeta the married than any piece of paper or big party. It can be seen from the following
quote: “We’re already married,” says Peeta quietly. …..”oh, it’s not an official
marriage. We didn’t go to the Justice Building or anything. But we have this marriage ritual in District Twelve. I don’t know what it’s like in the

other districts. But there’s this thing we do,” says Peeta.” “….and to us, we’re more married than any piece of paper or big party could make us.”
Collins 2009:255
And the second of their lies is about the Katniss’ Pregnant. At the same time when Peeta interviewed, he said “if it weren’t for the baby”. At the time, all the
audience was silent all heard these words. The audience direct to digest his words and their direct the rebel, making the event be
When he walked around the arena, he saw a man namely Finnick who is studying tips about fishing, and he also introduced an old woman who came from
District 4 is Mags. Mags was making fish hooks from the thorns, chicken bones, and earrings. Then Katniss imitate what it does. When Katniss managed to make a
decent hook of the nails are bent and tied with strands of hair. Mags smiled with Katniss success. For a moment, Katniss remember how these women volunteered
to replace the hysterical young woman from their district. She did it because he thought he had a chance to win. Who performed the same as the old woman who
made Katniss against her sister, Prim. When it Katniss was decided Finnick and Mags wants into her team.
The eighth strategy of Katniss is when in the fight arena they have to fight the illness affected the toxic fog. When they were resting there’s suddenly mist
approaching them. The longer the fog was getting close to her and tiny, searing stabs wherever the droplets of mist touch her skin. Katniss to direct awake those
who are resting. She shouted very strong and told them “run..run..” they are direct to run and get fuzzy. It can be seen from the following quote:
“Run” I scream at the others. “Run” “some kind of fog. Poisonous gas. Hurry, Peeta” I urge.” Collins 2009:298

They also keep running to avoid the poisonous fog. Finnick and Mags ran while carrying Katniss helps Peeta running. Most of their skin is exposed to the
toxic fog. Droples spring free of the body of vapor. They burn, but not like fire. Less a sense of heat more of intense pain as the chemicals find our fresh, cling to
it, and burrow down through the layers of skin. They are jumpsuits are no help at all. When they were running Peeta suddenly dropped and no longer able to run.
Finnick then volunteered for Peeta and Katniss carrying tote Mags. They also keep running. But the middle of the journey of Katniss was dropped because she
has not been able to carry Mags. They also stopped running and thinking about how they survived the fog. Mags hauls herself up, plants a kiss on Finnick’s lips,
and then hobbles straight into the fog. Immediately, her body is seized by wild contortions and she falls to the ground in a horrible dance. They also had to run to
avoid the toxic haze that although their hearts are sad to have lost Mags. Mags has died in the fog. They fell on the ground and face down. And The fog was gone
just like that. Finnick and Katniss and Peeta told that the fog has stopped. The last strategy of Katniss is they must work together to fight a horde of
monkeys vicious attack. It began when they were bathing in a small lake to recover the bodies hit the poisonous fog. Thats when the monkey was gathered in
secret. A gang of monkeys hanging from the branches of trees in the forest. Katniss prepare arrows and Finnick was holding trident. The monkeys explode
into a shrieking mass of orange fur and converge on Peeta. They put themselves like triangles. They also continue to fight a horde of monkeys. It can be seen from
the following quote:

“I arm my bow with two arrows and Finnick adjusts the trident in his hand. “Peeta,” I say as calmly as possible. “I need your help with something.”
Peeta and Finnick and I position ourselves in a triangle, a few yards apart, our backs to one another. My own knife is out now, but the monkeys are
quicker. “Peeta” I shout. “Your arrows” Collins 2009:309
The ninth strategy of Katniss in the Quarter Quell III games are: a the feign of sick, b their love relationship, c hide the feeling of love for Gale, d run
away from District 12, e marry with Peeta, f lies to public about the wedding and Katniss Pregnant, g to search a group friends in fight arena, h struck of
poisonous fog, i the attack against scores of vicious monkeys. From the ninth strategy uses by Katniss it is nothing fail. The strategy most influential in the fight
of her life is the second strategy, namely her love relationship with Peeta. Their romance became a key strategy for their survival in the games. And also, Katniss
must prove to the people of District 12 and President Snow that she and Peeta love each other without any doubt. If they are fail, their family will be killed by
