what was katniss flashback about gale. What are some words and clues the author uses to indicate to the reader that this scene is a flashback to a previous moment?
She checks trash bins and is at the baker's when the baker's wife, Peeta's mother, shouts at her and runs her off. That's when she sees Peeta watching her. ... Through flashback, Katniss reveals how she grew up as a survivor after her father's death and her mother's descent into depression.
She relates the story of their first meeting in the woods. (That's right, everyone. It's flashback time again!) Katniss was collecting tubers in the forest when she saw rabbits strung up in two snares: traps to catch ore animals.
Katniss feels betrayed. She feels that Peeta has been taking advantage of her by making her think he's her friend, that he cares about her. She also feels relieved that they don't have to pretend to be friends anymore. This will make it easier during the Games, as eventually, one of them will have to kill the other.
Katniss' feelings towards Gale and Peeta are complicated but her feelings are complicated in general because of everything she has been through and who she is as a person. Katniss cares for Gale and she risks punishment and her life to stop him from continuing to be whipped.
