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 beliefs of the capitols are to have beauty and to be very presentable to the capitols visitors. The Capitol probably wants to impress the tributes and the viewers that watch the Hunger Games on their television set either in their home or in the city or wherever you can possibly imagine their would be a TV.
2. Compare and contrast life in the Capitol to life in District 12.
The capitols citizens have good fashion. they probably get to take baths whenever they please or whenever they need to. District twelve is different, I think since they don't have a lot of electricity only off and on, they probably don't have water like we do with the DWP.
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 asks Katniss and Peeta to be proud and to keep your heads up and to smile. When the music starts playing for them while they exit their chariot, he yells gestures and Katniss ask Peeta "What's he saying?" and Peeta said "I think he said for us to hold hands," so they do and Cinna approves.
4. Why is it so hard for Katniss to trust Peeta's kindness?
It is hard for Katniss to trust Peeta because Peeta could get the chance to kill Katniss. He is probably to nice to Katniss. Maybe Peeta could try to get inside of her head and try to confuse her by getting her to like him so she will be a weak target and easy for him to take her out.

Chapter 6
1. What is an Avox? How does Katniss know the Avox?
An Avox is someone who committed a crime. Katniss knows her because of her hair and of their hair color. She cannot speak because her tongue was cut off.
2. What prevents tributes from jumping off the roof? Why do you think this is in place?
They cannot jump because their is some forcefield that zap's them. It is in the shape of a dome. It is in place so the tributes don't run away or plan on committing suicide
3. What reasons would Peeta have for being curious about Gale?
To me, Katniss and Gale are best buds. They hunt so much that they probably make a good team. They Hang out pretty often so thats why they are proubably best buds and Peeta is jealous.

1. What are the pros and cons of Peeta and Katniss being coached together?
The Pros are that they would make a good team, They both have their strength's and weaknesses. A con is probably that they would know their strength's and their weaknesses so they can learn it and stratagize against each other.

They both discuss what they can kill and they both can kill a squirrel but Katniss claims that she is able to kill a deer.
3. What are Career Tributes and how are they a threat?
Career tributes are actually tributes who train and prepare their whole lives just for the Hunger Games. They are considered a threat because of their strategies and how they prepare for the games. Finally, they know how to defend themselves and they know how to use deadly weapons.
4. What does Katniss do to get the Gamemakers' attention?
She gets their attention because she is the most popular tribute because of her braveness for sticking up for Primrose, her sister, and volunteering as a tribute in the Hunger Games.
