Chapter One Questions For "The Hunger Games"

Chapter 1
  
1) Describe District 12.
      District twelve is a place that has a poor side of town and a rich part of town. District twelve involves a lot of trade in the market area. The people who live in district twelve get food rations. District twelve is nicknamed the Seam. People try to hunt outside of the electric fence so they can either sell or trade it to the people in the market.
2) What illegal activities does Katniss participate of in doing? Why does she need to do this?
      Katniss is a girl who has to support her mother and her younger sister. In the Seam, it is illegal to hunt in the district or even outside the electrical fence. When she goes out hunting, another man named Gale is also hunting and they talk and try to get food for there families. They have to hunt because of food rations. They either take it to there families or sale it or trade it at the market.
3) Describe the relationship between Gale and Katniss. Do you have a relationship like this in your own life? Explain.
      The relationship between Gale and Katniss is weird because Gale is older than Katniss. Every time Katniss goes outside the fence hunting, Gale is always there. I think that Gale and Katniss would make a great    hunting group because of there individual skills. I don't have a relationship like there's in my life. I am not a great hunter.
4) How is Madge different from Katniss and Gale?
       Madge is the mayor's daughter. She is considered as rich I guess. On the reaping day, she is dressed very proper and is nice to Gale. Gale tries to flurt with her but, I think she likes people from her side of town. She probably doesn't have to worry about the reaping because she isn't poor and probably is well respected.
5) What is the reaping? Do you think this practice is fair? Explain.
      The reaping is the selection of who is going to be in the Hunger Games. It is an annual tradition. Most of the older people have to a lot of times just because they are older. It is for most of the people eighteen and under. The people that are selected are in the Hunger Games.
6) Who is selected in the reaping?
       Primrose Everdeen was the girl that was selected in the reaping.
