Read the excerpt from part 2 of Zeitoun.As he paddled back to Claiborne, a hope flickered within Zeitoun that his siblings might

see him on TV. Perhaps they would see what he was doing, that he had done something good by staying in his adopted city. The Zeitouns were proud, and there was plenty of sibling rivalry that had pushed them all to an array of achievements—all of them measured against the deeds of Mohammed. None of them had ever done something like that, none had achieved on his level. But Zeitoun felt again that perhaps this was his calling, that God had waited to put him here and now to test him in this way. And so he hoped, as silly as it seemed, that his siblings might see him like this.Why does the author include Zeitoun’s thoughts?to emphasize how his Muslim faith drives his actionsto illustrate how his strong familial bonds comfort himto establish the way he competes with his siblingsto reveal the vain hopes held by Katrina survivors

Answer:

The author includes Zeitoun's thoughts, so that the reader is aware of the thoughts and reasoning behind his actions. Without including his thoughts, the reader would only know that he was paddling. To include this inner monologue and series of thoughts while he paddles, however, lets this paddling act as a moment of self-reflection, and gives a chance for the author to give insight to the reader as to what Zeitoun is thinking, since there are not other characters around for him to verbalize these thoughts to.

Before Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch leave town for the Victory Tour they're traditionally obligated to take, President Snow stops by to warn Katniss that he's watching her. He doesn't want to see any more rebellious stunts. Somewhat daunted, Katniss prepares for the tour.

Once they leave, Katniss takes Haymitch aside for a strategy meeting. He drives home the point that her whole life – if she and Peeta want to survive – will involve this made up love affair. She and Peeta must keep up the show of their puppy love.

The tour's first stop is District 11, home of Katniss' friend Rue from the Games. Peeta and Katniss both overstep the traditional formalities and say too much during the ceremonies. Once again, the pair seems to be rebelliously challenging the Capitol. It seems like a riot is on the horizon, and they watch in horror as brutal punishments are doled out.

After that, they move on to the next districts, but are much more careful. By the end of the tour, Peeta has publicly proposed to Katniss. Katniss is still worried that people can tell they're faking it, though. She begins to think of backup plans.

In the meantime, she and Peeta attend a celebration in the Capitol, where she meets the new Head Gamemaker, Plutarch. He shows her his watch, which has a mockingjay on it.

The Victory Tour goes home. Katniss finds out that people in District 8 are verging on rebellion. She realizes that her mockingjay is becoming a symbol of rebellion. President Snow is not going to like this.

Katniss has a lot to process, so she arranges a private meeting with Gale. They talk about running away together, but just end up arguing. Gale wants to rebel and Katniss doesn't. He storms out, and she goes to find Peeta, who says that he'd follow her if she wants to run away. Their conversation is interrupted, though, when they find Gale being whipped in the town square as punishment for hunting game. Katniss gets in the middle of it and is injured. She sees that her friend Darius tried to do the same and is in serious trouble.

Katniss gets Gale home to her mother for healing. He's barely alive, and Katniss is conflicted. She's losing her identity. She still feels caught between Gale and Peeta. Over time, she gathers herself and realizes she has to keep fighting against the Capitol; she's can't just run away. Haymitch advises that she and Peeta continue with their wedding plan

But Peeta hasn't been saved from the arena. The Capitol got him, which is obviously really, really bad. Katniss plunges into dark despair. The only thing that brings her out is news from Gale, who also happens to be on the aircraft. Gale breaks the news to her, very gently, that their entire home district has been destroyed.

"Sponsorship

some water, a knife, or even some matches can mean the difference between life and death. And those things only come from sponsors. And to get sponsors, you have to make people like you."

―Haymitch Abernathy to Katniss Everdeen[src]
