For example, she owns a sweet little goat named Lady, a formerly wounded animal Katniss rescued from being butchered many years ago Chapter When Katniss brought the hurt goat home, Prim was able to bring it back from the edge of death by "grinding up herbs and coaxing brews down the animal's throat" Katniss thinks she could never possess Prim's healing powers, but she does manage to bring Peeta back from the edge of death by doing much the same that Prim did with Lady.

When she sees the field of dandelions, she gains confidence in her ability to feed her family. Dandelions are entirely edible—to a forager, a dandelion field means something entirely different than what it means to the gardener.
Dandelion leaves have more beta carotene than carrots and more iron than spinach. The root can be applied as an herbal remedy for a number of ailments and the milky sap can soothe bee stings and blisters. It will grow nearly everywhere, turning even ugly little patches of fairly useless dirt into gardens. Prim, too, thrives in an ugly, destructive environment. The evening primrose represents eternal love, memory, youth, hope, and sadness. This nickname echoes her gentle goat, Lady.
Haymitch too seems tied to District Twelve, where he always returns. In a book called The Hunger Games, it would hardly be surprising to find an homage to the man who did so much to try to end hunger for the impoverished in America.
Madge is finally killed because like Katniss, she is a child of the humble District Twelve. Mags too is a survivor, veteran of a previous Game and very handy with making fishhooks, swimming, and scavenging food. She sacrifices herself to save Katniss and her friends. Though she screams at Buttercup, lashing out at him as she blames herself for the tragedies that surround her, Katniss and Buttercup finally cry together and reconcile, Buttercup protects Katniss through the night and Katniss heals him, finally loving the wild part of herself that has returned to defend her and love her in turn.

Though he was innocent, he was ordered to commit suicide as a result. Claudius was emperor of Rome, most known for conquering new territory and for building aqueducts and roads.
He had a particular interest in law and presiding over trials. Claudius Templesmith, as his last name suggests, is a builder of the ultimate arena, the Games and an upholder of the establishment, like Caesar Flickerman. From their beginning, games were linked with religious festivals and the sacred, especially for the Romans. Coriolanus gives a mighty speech of how the patricians aristocrats should rule over the lower classes.
He is unsympathetic with only has one weak soliloquy. Eventually, as with President Snow, the Romans execute him for his treachery. Snow is the enemy of food plants, flowers, harvests, and growth, though it does far less to inconvenience those living in cities.
The British and French had a plan to defeat the Russians by distracting them. Still, as President she will indeed have luxury. This seems an odd name for the rebel leader, who would more fittingly be the voice of the insurgency. By naming her world Panem, Collins stresses how her world mirrors ancient Rome—the Capitol kept overfed and swaddled in luxuries, while the outlying districts scream for revolution.
When Katniss is challenged by the idea of being the Mockingjay, Prim wakes up from her sleep and asked her what she will do, and telling her that she knows how much her mother can hear. Prim told her what she would do if Katniss had to become the Mockingjay, and promises to keep this a secret from their mother before going back to sleep with Buttercup. At this moment, Katniss realized that the little girl who she had volunteered for at the reaping was gone.
Prim dreamed of becoming a doctor and showed her proficiency at healing as she helped the injured during her time in District When District 13 is attacked by the Capitol, Prim nearly gets trapped out of the safe quarters because she went back to rescue Buttercup, but makes it back with Gale just in time.
Gale went to check the Everdeen family compartment to make sure it was clear and found Prim with Buttercup. After Mrs. Everdeen leaves for the first aid station, Prim and Katniss bond together. Prim relays to Katniss the information she was taught during orientation for new citizens and surmises that it was probably just a bunker missile.

Prim says, "Next time we see each other, we'll be free. Although she is not yet 14, Prim is allowed to go to the Capitol during the final battle as a nurse, which Katniss is unaware of until she sees Prim in the barricade in front of Snow's mansion.
Katniss only notices Prim when she sees her plait down her back and her untucked shirt at the back, just as it was on the day of the reaping. Katniss also notices Prim giving her coat to a small child.
After the Capitol children barricaded at President Snow's mansion were injured by explosions caused by a hovercraft dropping parachutes identical to the ones used by tributes' sponsors during the Games carrying bombs that the Rebels made, Prim runs in with other District Thirteen medics, to help injured children and hears Katniss calling her name.
Before Katniss can reach her and bring her to safety, the second wave of bombs explodes, killing Prim and other medics and badly burning Katniss. Prim's last word ever in the book is Katniss. Katniss becomes so unhinged after Prim's death that she loses her voice for several days.
It is easy to see that Katniss deeply cared for her sister. Katniss wondered why Prim was sent in, due to her young age. She later realizes, after a conversation with the imprisoned President Snow, that President Alma Coin sent Prim to her death which was caused by a hovercraft by the rebels both to sway the Capitol citizens to Coin's side by making them think Snow was bombing the children, and to swing Katniss to her side through the death of her sister, as Katniss disliked Coin and was a threat to her power base.
Katniss also realizes that, even though Gale had nothing directly to do with Prim's death, the bombing trap that killed her was based on one of his designs, which makes both him and Katniss feel he is somewhat responsible. She avenges her sister by shooting President Coin when she is supposed to publicly execute President Snow. Later, after the execution, Katniss asks Gale if it was his bomb that killed Prim.
He responds with "I don't know. After the war, Peeta brings a series of evening primrose bushes to Katniss and they plant them around their home in District 12 as a memorial to Prim.

Nevertheless, Katniss remarks in "Catching Fire," that Primrose is nearly her height. Katniss describes her as having a face "as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named. This duck tail was how Katniss could identify her while she was assisting the injured Capitol children.
In the book "The Hunger Games" she was also described to weigh less than 70 pounds, but this probably changed as did her height. Prim loves all living creatures, even the most unsightly ones.
She has a pet goat, Lady, that Katniss gave her as well as a gruesome, ugly cat she named Buttercup. Starving and swarming with parasites, Prim brought the wretched creature home one day. Katniss intended to drown him, but Prim begged so hard for Katniss to let him live that she decided to allow the cat to stay.
She, like her mother, has a passion and talent for healing. Prim stayed at her mother's side even during the most horrid cases, even though she was "scared of her own shadow. Prim's goat, Lady, was first adopted into her family when Katniss was browsing and trading in the Hob on Prim's birthday.
