Our rights as United States citizens are outlined in the Bill of Rights. After researching the Bill of Rights which amendment do you feel is the most important in today's society and why?
I believe that the eight amendment is the most important today because it is not right to have people an pay an excessive amount of money for bail. Also because the government permitting unusual and cruel punishments to be endured by the person is wrong and the eight amendment prohibits that.

Peeta reveals his love for Katniss so he can make a facade to Katniss, but actually present his undying love for her though she may only think it's a plan. Also i think he said that so they can get alot of Sponsers and get necesities once in the arena.

Peeta's main concern during the Hunger Games is that he thinks it might change him and make him into just another piece of the Games.

I think that the purpose of the Hunger Games is to show everyone from all the Districts that the Capitol-more towards the government- that they have enough guts and power to execute you from existence just like that whenever and wherever they feel like it. This is because of the Rebellions that they had 74 years ago hence it started the Hunger Games.

| This is Katniss in her dress |
1. Describe Katnis's interview attire and t raining? What affect do you think it had on the audience?
Katnis's interview attire was a dress covered with many colored jewels on it. Her skin was gold and she even has stenciled patterns on both her arms. She had gotten her nails done by the stylist crew. What they did was that they had made designs to resemble fire on each of her fingers. During her training, she had a very difficult time though. She and Haymitch couldn't decide how she would act, because he kept criticizing her and she would get pissed off at him. She didn't really get along with Haymitch, and I think that is because they are so much like eachother as in attitude. Her affect on the audience was really well. She did very well because she was as honest as she coul be and every time that she would not be able to come out with something truthfull she would look straight at Cinna and pretend as if it were only he and she having a normall conversation and that it was not being projected to all the Districts including the Capitol.

2. How does Haymitch and Cinna ask Katniss to behave?
Haymitch and Cinna both ask Katniss to be her self like if she were having a normal conversation. Haymitch of course was being mest up towards her and said that he didn't like how Katniss acted towards him. She starts to get nervous because she still doesn't know how she should act to impress the audience and that she might screw up and won't get any sponsors and no sponsers means no gift or necesities in the arena. Cinna tells her that when she going to answer a question to look at him so she can act like herself as if they were having a casual conversation on a casual day.

1. The presentation of the tributes seems to be greatly focused on visual presentation and looks — what does this reveal about the belief systems of the Capitol?

3. What does Cinna ask Katniss and Peeta to do just before they ride out in their chariot? What is the purpose of this gesture? Cinna tells the kids to hold hands.
