The cycle of parents teaching their children to just sit idle and watch as other children are literally getting kidnapped and murdered for entertainment would’ve still been spinning if it wasn’t for Katniss.

From the beginning of the novel, Peeta goes out of his way to care for Katniss, and at one point suffers phsical abuse from his mother in order to feed her a loaf of bread. “The boy took one look back to the bakery as if checking that the coast 32 was clear, then, his attention back on the pig, he threw a loaf of bread in my direction.
