But in the end, Zadie relaizes she knows nothing about his father's war experence.

nekit [7.7K]

Which book.
First one, she impressed them with her amazing shot by shooting the apple, and it was unique because it was risky. She in a way, called them out for their lack of attention, which is an attitude few tributes have.
Second one wasn’t so unique because it was similar to peetas, but again she called them out for killing (no spoilers).
