In the book, The Hunger Games, an inductive leap is made by the protagonist, Katniss. In the few seconds before the the gong sounded, which indicated the start of the Hunger Games, Peeta gave Katniss a warning glance. Katniss was then confused of Peeta's motives, because she distracted her, which caused her to be a few seconds late to begin moving when the gong sounded, and she did not know what he meant. Later, Katniss had fled into the forest, and discovered that Peeta was collaborating with the "Careers" a pack of tributes from districts 1, 2, and 4. When she discovered that, she jumped to the conclusion that Peeta had betrayed her.
"Okay, I can stomach that. Seeing all those supplies was
tempting. But this . . . this other thing. This teaming up with
the Career wolf pack to hunt down the rest of us. No one from
District 12 would think of doing such a thing! Career tributes
are overly vicious, arrogant, better fed, but only because
they’re the Capitol’s lapdogs.161
Universally, solidly hated by all but those from their own
districts. I can imagine the things they’re saying about him
back home now. And Peeta had the gall to talk to me about
disgrace?
Obviously, the noble boy on the rooftop was playing just
one more game with me. But this will be his last. I will eagerly
watch the night skies for signs of his death, if I don’t kill him
first myself."
Later, Katniss dropped a nest of Tracker Jackers on their camp from a tree, in an attempt to hinder or kill them. Peeta got away, and abandoned the Career pack. He later saved Katniss' life. Katniss had thought that Peeta had turned on her, when in fact he hadn't. This proved to be an inductive leap made by Katniss. If she hadn't made that conclusion, she might have tried to get Peeta to kill the other Careers. However, it isn't her fault that she made that leap, seeing that there can 'usually' be only one winner of the Hunger Games, and no one can really be trusted. Everyone wanted to win, so Katniss would have thought that Peeta thought her to be a major threat, and wanted to eliminate her.
