-->Prim was thrilled to have her back, but I kept watching, waiting for her to disappear on us again. I didn't trust her. And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months she had put us through. Prim forgave her, but I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.

Despite her best efforts, the money ran out and they very nearly starved to death. They eventually recovered, but Katniss felt a deep sense of anger and resentment toward her mother for this.

Deleted line(s) 112 (click to see context) :
* JabbaTableManners: During the meal on the train to the Capitol, Effie makes an insensitive comment about the previous year's tributes eating everything with their hands "like a pair of savages." Katniss is so offended by this statement (as the kids in question had been from starving families) that she makes a point of finishing her entire meal with her fingers and wiping her hands on the tablecloth.
