![]() ![]() What happens to convince Haymitch that Peeta and Katniss might be fighters? If she has to kill him she might hesitate, costing her life.ģ. This means that while Peeta is kind to her, it will be harder to kill him in the arena when the time comes. What does Katniss mean when she says: “A kind Peeta Mellark is far more dangerous to me than an unkind one.” Stay alive.’ says Haymitch, and then bursts out laughing.Ģ. He is almost alway drunk and when he is sober he does not give helpful advice to the two tributes, Katniss and Peeta. I do not believe that Haymitch is a good mentor. Do you think Haymitch will be helpful as a mentor? Why or why not? He tells Katniss to get a bow as she is a remarkable archer.When Katniss questions the fact that there may not be any bows, Gale tells here to make one “Even a week bow is better than no bow at all.” She is very pessimistic about her predicament but Gale cheers her up a little bit.ġ. What advice does Gale give Katniss about surviving the games.? We see this when he gives Katniss two loaves of bread when she was cold and starving.ģ. He could have influenced his sone to be a kind and caring boy. Make sure she’s eating.” This shows that he is willing to give her some bread to make sure she stays alive and well. He also tells Katniss “I’ll keep an eye on your little girl. Mr Mellark gave Katniss a bag of cookies. What act of kindness does Peeta’s dad show to Katniss? How do you think this man might have influenced his son? You have to promise me you’ll fight through it!’” (page 43)Ģ. You can’t clock out and leave Prim on her own.There’s no me now to keep you both alive. She tells her mother to not give up and to stay there for Prim. What instruction does Katniss leave for her mother? “The boy took one look back at the bakery as if checking that the coast was clear, then, his attention back to the pig, he threw the loaf of bread in my direction.”ġ. I think Peeta comes across as a shy but kindhearted soul in this chapter. What kind of person do you think Peeta is? What evidence from the book has led you to this conclusion? “ But in District 12, where the word tribute is pretty much synonymous with the word corpse, volunteers are all but extinct.” (page 27)Ģ. When Katniss realizes that it is her sister that is chosen as a tribute, she volunteers herself to take her place, something that is almost unheard of in District 12. How does Katniss save her sister from the reaping? In the next chapter, Peeta Mellark is chosen as the male tribute.ġ. Katniss’ twelve year old siter, Primrose, is chosen as a tribute in the Hunger Games. It is to strike fear into the districts lives so they don’t rebel and they stay slaves to the Capitol. It is to remember the war against the Capitol and it shows that all the districts are weak and dependent on the Capitol for food. I do not believe this is fair as 23 children die needlessly each year. They pick a boy and a girl (the Tributes) from each district and get them to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. The Reaping is a big, all of Panem, lotto draw. What is the Reaping? Do you think this practice is fair? Explain. Though their friendship is tested when Katniss volunteers for the Hunger Games in Prim’s place.Ĥ. It took a long time for them to trust each other but now they are as thick as thieves. They both went out to hunt for food to feed their families and that is were they met. Both of their fathers had died in a mining accident and they need food to survive. The relationship between Gale and Katniss is friendship through hardship. Describe the relationship between Gale and Katniss. She hunts to feed her family and get money to by necessities like clothes, soap, needle and thread, medicine etc.ģ. Katniss participates in hunting in the woods outside of District 12. What illegal activity does Katniss participate in doing? Why does she do this? Some brave people like Katniss and Gale, go into the forest to hunt and sell food at the Hob (a kind of black market) Life is hard in district 12 and it is a poor district.Ģ. The main job there is coal mining and from early in the book we can see that it is a dangerous job, “Men and women with hunched shoulders, swollen knuckles, many of whom have long since stopped trying to scrub the coal dust out of their broken nails and the lines of their sunken faces.” (page 4-5) Many of the citizens are starving and only the rich can afford luxuries, like bread and meat etc. ![]()
