Who is rue in the hunger games

When Katniss finally severs the rope and hugs Rue, the spear thrown by Marvel has hit Rue. Katniss avenges Rue when Marvel kills her with the throw of a spear.

As a memorial of Rue's death, Katniss covered her in flowers and sang to her until she died, indicating to the Capitol that Rue was not just a piece in their games. During this time, she encounters Rue's family.

Katniss and Peeta promise their family that they will donate one month of their winnings every year. Also, during training, she was seen as a painting by Peeta. This angered Katniss so much, so she made a dummy of Seneca Crane and hung him. She received a score of 12 for this. Jack Quaid made his acting debut in the big screen adaption of the popular Suzanne Collins novel about the nation of Panem set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future.

Quaid portrayed the character of Marvel, one of the competitors in the Hunger Games, in which one male and one female from each district battle it out in a life or death match for survival. In the film, Marvel kills year-old Rue Amandla Stenberg during the 74th annual event accidentally while attempting to spear the film's protagonist Katniss Everdeen Jennifer Lawrence.

Katniss promptly shoots Marvel in the chest with her arrow, leaving one less participant in the fatal competition and avenging Rue's demise. She can fly from tree to tree and is a wonder with mockingjay bird calls. Despite her size, she scores a surprisingly high "7" during her training sessions 8. Her name, also, means "regret" or "sorrow" source , which is a bit of foreshadowing as to what her fate will be in the Hunger Games.

Rue reminds Katniss very much of her sister, Prim. Katniss acts as the primary protector of Rue once the two become allies. In this sense, she continues the role that she formerly played with her sister, Prim. Caesar replies by saying he wouldn't count her out in a million years. He then concludes Rue's interview. In the arena, Rue managed to stay alive by staying off the ground, much like Katniss did. She used her extensive knowledge of plants to collect food. She also got a backpack from the Cornucopia in the beginning of the Games, but it contained little because she 'had to get away from the Cornucopia fast' and she likely retrieved it at the edge of the clearing.

She found a sharp shard of rock she used as a knife. She made a slingshot for herself as well. Her pack contained a small water skin and an extra pair of socks she used to keep her hands warm during the cold nights. Her following of Katniss in the training center continued in the arena. It is implied that she had followed Katniss even before the tracker jacker incident. After the forest fire in which many of the tributes, including Rue and Katniss, suffer burns Rue climbs a tree to avoid the approaching Career pack.

Noticing Katniss treed nearby, she alerts her to a tracker jacker nest on a higher branch. In the morning, Katniss alerts Rue that she is about to drop the nest; Rue nods, and leaps from tree to tree, to get out of range once the wasps are unleashed. After the tracker jacker attack, Rue continues following Katniss. While Katniss is attempting to make a fire, she hears a branch crack and she knows it's Rue because she sees her boots sticking around the tree.

She tells Rue the careers aren't the only ones who can make an alliance. Rue comes out from behind the tree and says she can heal Katniss's tracker jacker wounds with leaves. Katniss is relieved by her wounds being fixed and offers Rue treatment for her burns. Rue says Katniss has good sponsors, for that is where she got the burn ointment, and Katniss asks her if she had gotten anything yet, to which Rue replies no. Katniss tells Rue not to worry because the more she advances in the Games the more sponsors will recognize her for her survival skills.

Katniss offers her a groosling leg which surprises Rue, who has never had a whole leg to herself. Katniss and Rue talk about their life in their district. After the conversation, Rue explains to Katniss about the career's camp and the strategy they have for protecting food and supplies. This gives Katniss the idea of evening the playing field between them and the careers by destroying their supplies. Rue said she trusted Katniss when she saw that Katniss was wearing a mockingjay pin.

She then proceeded to help Katniss with her plan to destroy the career alliance's food. Katniss devises a plan with Rue; Rue must act as a decoy and light up three fires to distract the careers away from the camp site, while she destroys the food somehow. Rue manages to light the first fire, but soon after the second fire was lit, Rue stumbled into a trap set up by Marvel, who speared her through the stomach with his spear just before Katniss reached her. In the movie, Katniss reaches her and cuts her down before Marvel throws a spear through her stomach.

After Katniss killed Marvel, Rue's dying wish was for Katniss to sing to her. Katniss honored her wish and sang until she died. Furious with the Capitol for allowing an innocent child to die, Katniss covers Rue's body with beautiful white colored flowers.

Before she leaves, she makes District 12's gesture of farewell to Rue. After Rue dies in the film, a rebellion starts in District 11, where the citizens have a small uprising to avenge Rue's death, her being from their district and being so young to be forced into the Games.

Rue's main tactic in the Games was to stay off the ground. Her ability to move swiftly and silently through the trees allowed her to stalk the other tributes and gain information about them without being noticed.

Since most of the tributes could not climb trees, they would have extreme difficulty in killing her, which gave Rue a massive advantage. Also, most of the other tributes are too big to climb as high as she can. Rue was not able to hunt, but this was not a problem, as she used her wide knowledge of plants and berries to find food. She also did not need as much food as the Careers, as she was used to poverty. In a way, Rue's tactic slightly mimicked that of Scavengers by following stronger predators and preying on the information she got from spying on them.

Rue reminded Katniss of her sister, Prim. Like Prim, Rue sometimes stood on her toes with her arms slightly extended. Katniss describes her as "birdlike" and after the Games can barely look at Prim without noticing Rue in her and being reminded of her death. Small, quick, intelligent, and young, the two had many similarities, which led Katniss to make Rue her ally. Katniss has remarked that Rue is very observant. Quite soon after Katniss asked Rue for an alliance, Rue agreed, saying she had already made the decision to trust Katniss because of her mockingjay pin.

The two worked together to survive, and learned much about each other and their districts. They shared stories together and became close, although their alliance was short lived. Like Katniss, Rue was able to find edible and medicinal plants in the arena. Among the edible plants she found were some berries and roots. She was also able to pick out the leaves of a plant that could help extract tracker jacker venom out of Katniss' wounds. When it came time to eat, Rue was shy in taking such a large quantity in food, saying that she had never had a whole leg of groosling to herself.

However, Katniss insisted that she take it along with the other leg, feeling pity for the younger girl. The first and only night that the two spent together, Rue was surprised by the sleeping bag that Katniss had gotten in the beginning of the Games.
