I don't think anyone in District 12 had enough money to give anything more than their moral support to their tributes each year (another reason why they do so poorly). The antibiotics would have been entirely too expensive. But I wonder how expensive Sleep Syrup was? It could have comeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819861295117048917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-35528139516284023252010-07-20T23:02:35.987-04:002010-07-20T23:02:35.987-04:00Sarah, the sparkly Peeta is from when Katniss is a...Sarah, the sparkly Peeta is from when Katniss is all jacked up on tracker jacker hallucinogens. I just think it's funny that now Peeta is watching her sleep, like a certain (SUPER ICKY CREEPY) vampire from another book/movie series. He's most definitely NOT a vampire. And if it turns out that he is, I will eat both my copy of HG and my copy of CF page by page with hot sauce.

How does Peeta know what it looks like? From school? <br /><br />Yeah, it sounds like Katniss thinks getting a gift of medicine for Peeta would be a long shot: "If Haymitch pooled every donation from every sponsor, would he have enough?
