 Chapter 9



This is Katniss in her dress



1. Describe Katnis's interview attire and training? 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.



This is Cinna



 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.



Peeta Loves Katniss!<3



3. What do we discover about Peeta during his interview?
   We discover during Peeta's interview that he is in love with Katniss. He confessed this when the host asked Peeta if he has a girlfriend and he said no. He asks Peeta if he like someone and he says yes. The host tells him that he has to win The Hunger Games so she will have to say yes.

Ch. 5 Questions

Chapter 5

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?

   The Capitol believes that if you don't make a quality entrance or make yourself be seen or have something that makes you stand out, they don't pay much attention to you and you are barely known.

   The life in The Capitol is different from District 12 live because in the Capitol you have enough of everything and in District 12 you barely scrape by or you may even die of hunger or illness. In the Capitol you have many accesories and in District 12 you have coal dust as an accesorie and that's it.

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?

4. Why is it so hard for Katniss to trust Peeta's kindness?
