What is Chapter 5 in The Hunger Games about?

Katniss is in the Remake Center getting her legs waxed by Venia, a woman with aqua hair and gold tattoos on her eyebrows. She's also been scrubbed clean and had her nails done. The only thing they've left the same is the braid her mother had arranged.

After every hair is plucked, they call in her stylist, Cinna. When he arrives, Katniss is surprised by how normal he looks. Even his voice doesn't mimic the Capitol accent. Cinna compliments Katniss' braid, and tells her he is a new stylist for the Games. He says that he specifically asked for District 12, Katniss' home and the least favored District.

The two discuss Katniss's outfit for the opening ceremony. Usually the get-up has to do with the industry of the district. This means coal-mining. Katniss expects a coal miner outfit, but Cinna says no, this year, they're focusing instead on coal.

A few hours later, Katniss is dressed in a black unitard and a streaming orange, yellow, and red cape, that Cinna plans to set on fire during her chariot ride to the stadium.

The chariot from each district starts moving along in the parade until it's time for District 12 - that's when Cinna lights both Katniss and Peeta on fire.

At the last minute, Cinna motions for Peeta and Katniss to hold hands, adding the perfect touch of rebellion

The Capitol audience loves them and they have even bothered to find their names on the program. Katniss and Peeta are still gripping hands when the chariot is heading back to the Training Center and Peeta tells Katniss she should wear flames more often. Katniss smiles.

Katniss remembers then that Peeta is trying to kill her. But two can play at this game, so she goes on her tiptoes and kisses him on the cheek.

That the victors who won the Games in the past are going back into the arena. Normally, the deal is that if you win the games, you're out of the arena for good. But President Snow changed that rule in order to get rid of Katniss in a way that wouldn't arouse suspicion, since she was an idol in nearly all of the Capitol

How are the birds used as smbols in the hunger games?

The mockingjay on the front of the book it shows a sign that you're protected, its a sign of safety and love, it explains it more in catching fire, but its showing a sign!

The mockingjay is a cross breed between naturally occuring mockingbirds and an artificially created species called "jabberjays". Jabberjays were genetically engineered to be able to remember human conversations and repeat them back verbatim with human voices. They were used to spy on rebels who opposed Capitol (the authoritarian government of Panem). When the rebels figured this out, they fed lies to the jabberjays, and they were abandoned by the Capitol and left in the wilderness to die. Because the jabberjays were bred to be male, it was thought that they would die off in the wild, however, when released they bred with female mockingbirds and created the species "mockingjay". Capitol did not desire these birds to come out the way they did, therefore it is a symbol of rebellion, due to its undesirable effect. The protagonist Katniss becomes the embodiment of the mockingjay - a rebel that Capitol intended to control but who came out much different than planned.

Who wins the 76th Hunger Games?
