In the movie, you see Katniss tossing nuts at the force field in order to detect it. In the books, she did the same, however made sure no one noticed her doing so. She attributed her knowledge of the force field's location to her improved hearing in the one ear the capital repaired following the previous year's Hunger Games, where she had lost hearing in one ear.

Annie Cresta, the girl Mags volunteered for, went mad after she saw the boy tribute from district four get killed.
She only won when the area became flooded and was the best swimmer. Enobaria ripped open the throat of another tribute with her teeth, which is why her teeth are filed into points.

And his mouth is just like agape and I'm staring at him trying to be in character and I just fall out of frame laughing. I couldn't take it, literally.
As for nude scenes, Kelly Ripa told Malone she believes you should flaunt it while you still have it. Do it all now," the co-host said. Be as nude now as you can. When the train travels along the coast, the scene includes a quick glimpse of some towers on stilts in the water.

Later, Peeta and Katniss discuss leaving the alliance. Katniss knows they will have to fight them once the Careers are dead and she doesn't want to kill Finnick or Beetee, but she must to keep Peeta alive.
Peeta agrees they will leave the alliance after midnight, then mentions that whatever deals she made with Haymitch to keep him alive, Haymitch made promises to Peeta too.

Katniss counters that she does need him, and kisses him passionately, no longer acting. Watching from the control room, President Snow shows satisfaction, agreeing that Plutarch predicted accurately that Katniss would reach this point and sacrifice herself.

She leads Brutus and Enobaria away from the weakened Katniss. Thinking Finnick and Johanna broke the alliance, Katniss tries to find Peeta back at the tree, but finds only Beetee, who was stunned after touching the wire to the force field.
Unable to find Peeta, and hearing the sound of a cannon the indicator of a tribute's death , she calls out for him frantically. When Finnick appears, she prepares to shoot him, but he stops her by repeating Haymitch's last advice: "Remember who the real enemy is".
Changing her mind, Katniss attaches the remaining wire to an arrow. Finnick warns Katniss not to do it, but she shoots at the force field just as the lightning strike occurs, blowing up the tree with hundreds of sparks, and shutting down the forcefield around the arena.
This electrocutes Katniss, and causes a power outage in the control room. Katniss is paralyzed by the explosion and is too weak to move or speak. She opens her eyes and sees burning sections of the arena dome crashing down around her.
A hovercraft appears, descends into the wreckage, and picks her up before Katniss passes out. She awakens in the hovercraft with an unconscious Beetee beside her.
Entering the cockpit, Katniss picks up a needle, ready to attack, but unexpectedly, she finds Haymitch, Finnick, and Plutarch Heavensbee, revealed to be a rebel agent against Snow.

Having survived the Hunger Games, they are the darlings of their country, Panem, and a potential rallying point for revolution. This places them in a dramatically compelling situation: Either they become stooges for the evil regime, the Capitol, or the Capitol will have them killed. Katniss knows this because the president Donald Sutherland tells her in so many words. In the world of Panem, we are left in no doubt of the government's willingness to kill entire districts full of people.
These leaders are evil — and not in grand way of Darth Vader, but in the small, scared way of despotic politicians. That she sees no way out feels real, and it makes it easy to connect with her plight: She's not trying to do anything besides keep herself and her family alive.
