The Hunger Game ハンガーゲーム (4)

ハンガー・ゲーム
As they go out to hunt food, they find "Foxface", the District 5 girl, dead from eating Nightlock berries that she stole from Peeta, neither being aware they are extremely poisonous. Without warning, Crane darkens the arena and unleashes a pack of hound-like creatures to speed things up.

Katniss and Peeta flee to the roof of the Cornucopia, where they are attacked by Cato. Katniss wounds Cato with an arrow and Peeta hurls him to the creatures below.

Katniss shoots Cato to spare him a prolonged death (in the novel, he is described as wearing a powerful vest that protects him from any fatal wound, though this is not clearly stated in the film).


With Peeta and Katniss apparently victorious, the rule change allowing two winners is suddenly revoked. Peeta tells Katniss to shoot him. Instead, she gives him half of the Nightlock. About to consume the berries, the couple are hastily proclaimed the victors of the 74th Hunger Games. Peeta and Katniss are jointly crowned victors by President Snow, who notes her Mockingjay pin.

Haymitch warns Katniss that she has made powerful enemies with her display of defiance. She and Peeta return home, while Crane is locked in a room with a bowl of Nightlock - doomed in a fashion similar to his Roman counterpart. As the victors parade themselves in Dictrict 12, President Snow watches on a monitor, pondering the situation.

The botanical definition of a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary. Grapes are an example. The berry is the most common type of fleshy fruit in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp.

They may have one or more carpels with a thin covering and fleshy interiors. The seeds are usually embedded in the flesh of the ovary (there are some non-fleshy exceptions, such as peppers. A plant that bears berries is said to be bacciferous or baccate (a fruit that resembles a berry, whether it actually is a berry or not, can also be called "baccate").
