The burn cream and the bread are very valuable to Katniss and Peeta and serve a great purpose for them in The Hunger Games. When Katniss burns her leg severely in the sudden fire attack by the Gamemakers, she is in great need of that burn cream. So, when Haymitch sends it to her through the parachute, Katniss is very thankful and is able to heal her leg.

It's quite obvious what purpose the bread serves for Katniss and Peeta. There are obviously not alot of food sources around (thanks to the Gamemakers) unless you snatched something from the Cornucopia when the Games began. Katniss and Peeta were obviously starving, so the bread helped to ease their hunger for a little while.

What was katniss first gift from a sponsor in the book?

In the first book she receives burn medicine for her leg, some bread from district 11 just after Rue dies, some sleep syrup so she can sneak away to the feast to get the medicine for Peeta's leg, ( she gives the syrup to Peeta) and the medicine to heal Peeta's leg, which she receives at the feast. In the second book, the original allies, Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and Mags, receive a spiel to get water from the trees, and that group and johanna, beetle, and wiress revive rolls giving clues for the time of their rescue. Hope this helps!

How does Peeta Mellark backstab Katniss?

Peeta back stabbed Katniss to protect her. Peeta wants Katniss to win so that she can go back for Prim and her mother, and also he has loved her since the first day of school. He is trying to protect Katniss, so he joins with the Careers and does all he can to keep them away from her by misleading them. When they find her in the tree, Peeta is not there, so Cato tries to climb the tree to get to her, but breaks a branch in the attempt. Then, Peeta gets there and suggests that they wait until she comes down because, "she can't stay up there forever." That gives her more time, and thankfully, Haymitch sends her some burn cream from her encounter with the fireballs. Mainly, Peeta joined the Careers to make sure of Katniss' safety.


Why do people put butter on bread and what is its purpose and origin?

Putting applebutter on bread makes it more tasty and moist, specially store bread. A splat of fresh applesauce on fresh from the oven bread makes it a lunch with a piece of cheese. I suppose butter or cream cheese could do the same.

No cream of any quality can be used to make whipped cream unless it is heavy cream, typically sold as "whipping cream."


Is all purpose cream is same as heavy cream?

No, because HEAVY CREAM has more fat content than all purpose cream... you can only use all purpose cream for pasta sauces or any kind of sauces but not for whipping... because again it has lesser fat content.. you can whip cream if the fat content is 30% or above. :)
