Ch. 10 Questions

Chapter 10



1. Why does Peeta reveal his love for Katniss? Do you think he really loves her? Why or why not?

   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. I think that Peeta really does love Katniss because he always compliments her and genuanly wants to be with her.  Also, because on the interview he said things that he possibly meant truth behind.

2. What is Peeta’s main concern during the hunger games?

   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. He doesn't want to be changed into some kind of monster that the Gamemakers control. Even if he does die he wants to die as with honor as himself. He wants to show the Gamemakers that he is not going to be in the Games as anyone or anything, but himself.

3. How does the Capitol view the previous arenas of the hunger games? How many games have there been?

   The Capitol views the previous arenas of the Hunger Games as historical sites. They never use the  arenas they have used before. The arenas get very populated with tourists because alot of people visit them all. People that live in the Capitol can stay in the arenas and tour, they can even be in reenactments that are there and they act as the people in the Games that year. There have been 74 games including Katniss'.

4. What do you feel is the purpose of the hunger 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.

Tribute Trials Test

My results were............



I took the test twice and on my first try I had gotten 86 percentile. On the contrary on my second try I had gotten 94 percentile. What I figured out was that you need to get varied types of skills to win The Hunger Games.
