Thank you, ” I whisper. Words I never thought I would say to her. They unsettle us both.”“ You want to thank me, Barrow?” she mutters, kicking away the last of my bindings. “Then keep your word. And let this fucking place burn.” (300)

About This Quote

This quote in the book, which is in reference to Barrow, is to show that he has finally found a place in society where he feels comfortable. The quote says "thank you," but the author, Suzanne Collins, really means "fuck you." This statement shows how powerful the feeling of discrimination can get within people. It's an emotion that can get under your skin and drive you absolutely insane. But, it's also a very powerful tool for self-improvement. It can make you stronger if you use it correctly.
