Hunger Games Homework - complete the calculations for the Class Reaping and read the rest of chapter 8 and all of chapter 9 (try not to read any further than this).
Add at least 1 good question for discussion to our blog (remember to include your first name). Feel free to comment on the questions posed by your classmates (with your first name included). Here is one to get you started:Primrose Everdeen has her name called even though she only has one slip of paper in the drawing. Do you think Prim's name was drawn intentionally at the Reaping? Why or why not?
What motivation would someone have to "rig" a drawing?

ReplyDeleteMy Question:
The last time Katniss met her mother and Prim before she left for the hunger games, she told her mother to take care of Primrose.How do you think they are doing? Has her mother returned to the state she was in when Katniss's father died? If this was to happen what do you think Prim would do?

ReplyDeleteI do not think that Prim's name was intentionally drawn at the Reaping because she had been quiet and peaceful her whole life. Nobody in her family had been in trouble with the law before the Reaping, and therefore the capitol had no motive to punish Prim. Furthermore, even if Katniss or Prim had broken a law, there are peacekeepers to ensure that they never do again. In addition to this, the only misdeed Katniss has done is hunt. The peacekeepers eat the food that she hunts and therefore do not tell the capitol of her felonies. Thus, the Capitol has nothing against anyone in her family, giving nobody any reason to target Primrose Everdeen.
Someone might rig the drawing in order to get revenge because if an enemy was sent to the Hunger Games, they will most likely die or at least suffer a lot of pain, torture and misery. Moreover, they could rig the reaping so that the sibling or child of an enemy was sent to the Hunger Games, in order to make them go through the emotional trauma the family of a tribute goes through every year. In addition, someone might rig the drawing in order to save his or her child or another loved one from being subjected to the horrors of the Hunger Games. This would relate to the question of whether the mayor could rig the reaping so that his daughter was spared from having to enter the games.
My Question: Does Peeta really love Katniss or is this just a strategy to gain more sponsors?

ReplyDeleteWhy is the Capitol more interested in players with heat in them? Would it be important for the players to have heat in them while in the games?
Why did the author choose to include a flashback of how Gale and Katniss met? Why would Katniss be thinking about that with so much going on?
Why did Peeta decide to be trained separately? Perhaps he was jealous that Katniss got the highest score?
Why wouldn't Katniss want the sponsors to know about her family, sense of her life, and what she cares about (in other words why wouldn't she want for the sponsors to get to know her)? Would it bring any harm?
How would the red-headed girl (avox) make Katniss feel protected?
Why does Katniss change her personality around Haymitch (she becomes sullen and hostile)?
Did Peeta say he loved Katniss in the interview just so he can get more sponsors?
Why was katniss mad about peeta saying he loved her? Was it good anger or acual anger?

ReplyDelete1.Did Peeta say hes in love with Katniss for publicity and sponcers or is he saying it so she knows before he or she dies.
2.What were the chances for primrose everdeen to be picked for the reeping day.

ReplyDeleteIs Katniss' interesting, different personality going to gain her more sponsors or is it just going to make the sponsors dislike her and not want to sponsor her?
Deos Peeta want to train seperately because he is intimidated by Katniss' skills and feels like he needs to work on his own skills so he can survive? Or is it because he just doesn't trust her anymore?
Did Peeta plan to announce his love for Katniss or was it just a sudden outburst that he didn't intend to make? Was it hard for him to come out with his feelings to the entire world?
In chapter 8 Katniss was only talking about Gale, but also added information about Peeta, Which one does she actually like and why?
ReplyDeleteIs Katniss starting to gain feelings for Peeta, will she hold back if her objective is to kill Peeta?

ReplyDeleteWhat did the Gamemakers think when Katniss shot the arrow at them?
Where scared or impressed?
What is Peeta's scheme when he said he loved Katniss?
Did Peeta lie to make her trust him or is he being truthful?
Does Katniss feel the same about him?
Is District 12 as a whole confident in their tributes?
I think that it was intentionally drawn because maybe whoever rigged it knew that Katniss would volunteer and take her sisters spot maybe they were jealous of her bow skills and maybe she took all the animals and game and they wanted her gone.

ReplyDeletewhy did the gamemakers give katniss such a highscore?
i think they gave katniss a highscore because they liked her temper, because they need a little intertainment during the games to feirce things up.

ReplyDeleteWhy would the Avox girl make katniss feel protected? Shouldn't she be a symbol of the power the capital has over her?
Brandon
ReplyDeleteDid Katniss shoot the arrow as a symbol of dissatisfactory or was it a symbol of courage and that she follows her own set of rules and not theirs?
Could this affect the way that the tributes view her way of fighting?
Will she use this as an advantage in battle?
Does Peeta really love Katniss or is he just saying that he does for a partner in the hunger games?
ReplyDeleteWhy did Katniss have a sudden rage and shoot an arrow at the gamemakers?

ReplyDeleteI do not once so ever think that prims name was pulled on perpose because katniss had said everyone adored prim.And no one besides effie, the mayor and the capitol has the power to the girl tribute names!Effie has never even met prim, what would the capitol have on her she's not a rebel and the mayor proaly doenst know her or adores her.Lastly haymich is always drunk and doesnt even know her!
Tyler .D
ReplyDeleteI think Amanda's question "why did Katniss score so high? what impressed the game makers?"is good because it is a mystery about why katniss got 11 out of a scale of 1-10.
I also like jakes question "What did the Gamemakers think when Katniss shot the arrow at them?" because
the gamemakers should of bin furious but I think they were impressed and they gave her a score of 11 out of a scale of 1-10.
Mariam W
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think that Prim's name was drawn intentionally. In the book, Prim is said to be someone everyone adores, so why would anyone plot against her and rig the vote so she would have to play in the Games? There was no enemy of Prim's or someone that was jealous of Prim, therefore I can't imagine that anyone would rig the draw.

ReplyDeleteHow do you think Katniss's family is doing?
I think that Katniss's family is doing fine by gathering food and selling the cheese from Prim's goat. Moreover, Gale promised Katniss that he would help to provide food for her family and make sure that his sister and mother do not starve. Since he is her best friend and she trusts him completely, I think that he will fulfill that promise that he made. Also, the baker (Peeta's father) also said that he will keep an eye on Katniss's little sister and make sure that she is eating. So because of the tips that Katniss gave her family, and all of the people that are looking out for them, I think that they are doing fine without Katniss in terms of surviving.
Has her mother returned to the state she was in when Katniss's father died?
I think that Katniss's mother has not returned to the state she was in when Katniss's father died because as she said in the book, she had been ill at the time and did not have the medicines that she has now in order to treat herself. In addition to this, Katniss has talked to her mother regarding this issue and in the book Katniss told her mother to take care of Prim. When she said this, she expressed all her anger and fear at her mother's abandonment and that was when her mother told her that she had been ill.
If this was to happen what do you think Prim would do?
I think that Prim would try her best to gather and provide food for herself and her mother since that would be their primary concern. She might try to gather edible plants like Katniss used to before she began to hunt, such as dandelions, katniss roots, etc. Also, Prim can use her goat as another source of food, and she can sell her goats milk and cheese in order to earn money to pay for other necessities such as clothes, and soap. In addition to this, if her mother did abandon her once again, she could always turn to Gale, who is Katniss's closest friend, because he has promised Katniss that he will make sure that Prim does not starve.
