Thresh

Strong and burly, the boy tribute from District 11 features a real problem to the other tributes participating in the Games.

His Tactic
Seemingly, Thresh's plan for survival was to stay out of sight in the wheat fields to the side of the arena. It seems that, in his mind, if he stayed out of the way, he could wait it out. He probably knew that he would eventually have to fight someone, but because of his size and strength, possibly over estimated himself.

His hideout, though, was a good one. Nobody else ventured near the fields, so he had plenty of privacy. It was his own fortress in the midst of a raging battle, he knew every in and out and every hiding spot. It's still a wonder how Cato, wounded and hurt, killed Thresh, who was unwounded, in Thresh's own territory when Thresh so obviously had it under control.

Katniss's encounter
Everyone remaining was invited to The Feast, a intended blood bath. This was the only time that Katniss Everdeen and Thresh met.

Clove is ready to kill Katniss, her fury full to the extent. She promises to her victum that it'll be a slow and painfull death as she outline Katniss's mouth. Say's it'll be slow and painfull, just like Rue's.

Suddenly, Clove is dragged from Katniss and is being held a foot in the air none other then Thresh. Thresh demands to Clove,"What did you do that that little girl? You kill her?"

Clove was frantic, shouting her denial. But it was to late to stop Thresh. Thresh brought a rock down, hard, on her head. The wound didn't bleed, but the dent in her skull was painfully obvious. He then questioned Katniss on her alliance with "Rue". Once he was satisfied, he let her go. "You better run, Fire Girl."

After they part ways, Thresh is followed by a heart broken Cato.
