Katniss Chapter 1
Chapter 1

1- District 12 is a very poor coal mining district located in the region known as Appalachia.

2- The activity Katniss participates is hunting. Katniss goes beyond the fence to hunt and brings back the food for her family. She has to do this because of how poor district 12 is.

3- when Katniss is asked who is your best friend she straight away says Gale meaning they share a close connection with each other.

4- A reaping is an annual event that takes place in every district before each Hunger Games. Yes.

5 - For the reaping Prim is selected but Katniss wants to volunteer because she's good at hunting
Chapter 2
Katniss saves Prim because she chose to volunteer for her little sister.
Peeta shows himself to be a caring, intelligent, kind person. He is always thinking of others before himself, and

Peeta thinks it is a good advantage for Katniss because she will know how to use a weapon so she will be a formidable opponent in the games.

3- When the judges have to be judging to give the tribute a score out of 12 they are not paying attention and just milling about chatting to one another, not paying attention to Katniss. Katniss got fed up with them so she shot an arrow towards them.

Chapter 8

1- Katniss is really scared that the Capitol might take it out on her family and maybe lock them in jail or execute them. But her fears are put aside when Haymitch and Peeta tell Katniss not to worry as what happens in the training room is a secret. So unless they expose what Katniss did in the training room, the Capitol cannot do anything to her family.

2- I think that Peeta asked to be coached separately so that he could ask Haymitch if it would be a good idea to say at the interviews that he like Katniss. This would make Katniss look likable and maybe get her

    Throughout Peeta and Katniss’ life before and during the reaping, they appear different in many ways, yet still connected in others. Peeta is a kind and compassionate person. In the beginning of the story, he sees Katniss starving in the streets. He gives her bread to feed her family. Katniss, however, has a difficult time showing love and kindness. Before she leaves for the hunger games, she has a chance to say goodbye to her distant mother. Instead of showing comfort, Katniss speaks harshly to her. Peeta and Katniss also live different life styles. Peeta’s family owns a bakery, making his family middle-class. He works there painting cakes. He has a father to take care of him. Katniss, on the other hand, has grown up very poor. With her father now dead, she has to hunt to put food on their table. Peeta expresses his emotions clearly when chosen for the reaping. Katniss sees his face among the hundreds of televisions. He appears tear-stained, not bothering to wipe them away. Katniss, no matter how afraid she is inside, refuses to show her feeling to the audience. When glancing at her reflection, she’s pleased to appear blank, even bored. Despite all the differences between Peeta and Katniss in the beginning of the story, they share a few similarities.…
