Chapter 2
1. How does Katniss save her sister from the reaping?
Katniss saves Prim by volunteering as a tribute. She doesn't want her twelve year old sister to be in the Hunger Games because she was chosen out if thousands. People were also dissatisfied with that because Prim would have been one of the youngest people in the Hunger Games.
2. Who is the boy tribute selected? How did he save Katniss life when she was 11?
The boy tribute selected was Peeta Mellark. Peeta is the Baker's son. He saved Katniss' life when she was 11 because, she and her family were starving. She wanted May to come so she can enter for tesserae. Then she could get her precious grain and oil. Peeta gave Katniss two loaves of burned bread.
3. What kind of person do you think Peeta is? What evidence from the book led you to come to this conclusion?
I think Peeta would be a good partner in the Hunger Games because he was nice to Katniss. He was yelled at and probably beaten just for giving Katniss the loaves of bread.
4. Why does seeing the dandelion after her father's death give Katniss hope?
The dandelion that Katniss saw gave her hope because it reminded her of her father. That specific  dandelion was the first dandelion of the year. When she saw the dandelion, it reminded her when she would go hunting in the woods with her father. She now knows that she would have to go hunt just like her father to survive.

Chapter 4
1. Do you think Haymitch will be helpful as a mentor? Why or why not?
I Think that Haymictch might be a good mentor and he might not be because he did win the Hunger Games and he is always drunk. It is a tuff call. He probably has good advice. I hope he will set an example for them. I can not believe he vomited the tributes where eating..
2. What does Katniss mean when she says: “A Kind Peeta Mellark is far more dangerous to me than an unkind one”?
She means that if he keeps treating her nice she's gonna have a hard time fighting him. But if he acts mean to him she's not really going to care. So it would be easier for her that Peeta would act mean.
3. What happens to convince Haymitch that Peeta and Katniss might be fighters?
  Katniss throws a knife and it lodges between two panels and Peeta slaps Haymitch's glass out of his hand standing up for himself. Which makes Haymitch realize that they're fighters.
4. What is the first honest advice that Haymitch gives them?
Haymitch's first honest advice was not to resist to whatever the stylists did to them.No matter what it was.Which I hope is good advice and Haymitch isn't trying to mess them up.
