Encounter with Madge

Katniss and Gale sell strawberries to the mayor's house. The mayor's daughter, Madge Undersee, opens the door wearing an expensive white dress for the reaping. Gale makes a cutting remark about her having only five entries in the reaping, highlighting the unfairness of the tesserae system. Madge gives Katniss a gold mockingjay pin, which she later wears as her token. Katniss reflects on the class divide in District 12 and the resentment it breeds.
