 * Their costumes were really black and their caps were dangerous because they were on fire.**
 * I think now that Katniss knows that Peeta wants to do separate training so she now thinks he doesn’t want to really be partners anymore,so she ignores him.

** woody ** 1.)The kids dieing,the government putting kids in there. 2.)Katnes is makeing friends for the fight,she is winning sponsers she gets an eleven. 3.)That she shot an apple,and has a lot of sponsers. 4.)The hunger games starving too death. 5.)Sow they don't say the wrong thing.

 * 1.) Well their is a match that all 12 districts have to pick 2 contestants one boy and one girl to compete to the death.

B-MAN **

That the world is made of districts and North America was taken over by natural disasters and then it formed into a country called Panem which is no districts and there is no such thing as Panem.
=== That most charecters don’t follow the rules and if they get caught not following the rules by leaving the fence or to black marketing they have to go to the hunger games. I like how most of the charecters are daredevils and they would do anything to stay alive even though they could die if they get caught for it. A problem that Catniss has to face is that her sister Prim === === gets her name picked out of a jar out of thousands of names and she only has one card of her name in it. They have to worry because people can figure out what they do and get more names in the jar for the HUNGER GAMES. ===

= By: dirtbikeracer12 = = That people are forcing other people to fight to there death at age 12! = = Catniss is 16 and she has a friend named Gale who is 18. Catniss has a mom, and a sister who WAS chosen to be in the Hunger Games. Catniss did have a dad but he was blone to pieces in a mine. catnip is a good hunter and so is GAle, they are both very strong. The family’s are poor and Prim WAS chosen to be in the Hunger Games, bacause the government does not want them to speak like that. =

**1. ** Yes it does let you know that it is science fiction/fantasy because the people don’t even call our country North America anymore.
 * Giggles **
 * 2. ** The characters are related to each other. They care about each other. They are starving.
 * 3. ** I like that they are good at hunting. I think the book so far is pretty shocking and I can’t wait to read more.
 * 4. ** They are starving and their little sister is in the Hunger Games. They are scared that she’ll die. I think the worst problem so far is the sister (Prim) is in the Hunger Games. If she were my sister I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to her. I’d be more worried about her than not having anything to eat.
 * 5. ** If they share their opinions the Capitol will destroy them.


 * I think it isnt real because in the book pretty mutch all the things are illegal.**
 * i know Katniss Everdeen, Prim Everdeen, and Gale. I like Kitness Everdeen, because she seems like a cool chick, i mean she breaks laws, and she hunts.**
 * Prim is facing the problem of being in the Hunger Games, because she has to fight for the death.**
 * You have to worry because if you tell your opinnion you will die, like Kitness’s dad. Fred4life**

** Bballplayer4life **
 * 1) The clues that I know of that make the book sound fake are that they send people away trying to get a prize and fighting to the death. **
 * 2) We know that Katniss is a rule breaker because she hunts illegally and never follows any of her town’s rules. **
 * 3) I like the fact that Katniss is never following any of the rules and sometimes that is what I do. **
 * 4) A problem that the girls face is that Prim was chosen to do the Hunger Games . **
 * 5) Because they will be killed or put on trial if they do and they will die like Prim and Katniss’s dad. **

sunshine Some elements are the venomous snakes and the other animals. Another element is the way they described the whole District 12! It sounds horrible! There is Prim,who is the little sister that is always nice to everyone. Mom, Gale, who helps search for food, while searching for his own. Katniss, is the narrator who doesn’t get along with people very well. I like Prim because she is always nice to people. I like Gale because he always puts others first, and then himself. They face the problems of starvation, the risk of going to the Hunger Games, and many others. The worst would be that Prim is going to the Hunger Games instead of Katniss. They have to be very careful because people could tell the people at Capitol and the could get in trouble.

Bob0711 This book really isn’t real because it’s illegal to hunt and that is North America after many natural disasters. Katniss is a 16 year old girl who has a crush on Gale who calls her catnips. Gale an 18 year old boy is really nice and likes to help others. For both Katniss and Gale I like their hunting skills. Well they face starvation and the hunger games. I would say starvation is worse. Because they are afraid that people are going to think different or people won’t like their opinion.
 * The 12 districts in real life we don have rabid animals and if u get caught hunting u don’t get put in jail. **


 * She is a 16 year old girl and she has her name in 26 time i thin i know its in the 20s. **


 * She looks out for her sister and makes sure she didn’t get in any trouble but her first time she got choose to go in the hunger games. **


 * Her sister wen she gets picked and I already told about her. **
 * because she can get arrested. Rocky99 **


 * I think this story seems very real so far. I think all of the natural disasters were a little off, but I think this story is pretty realistic. Well, Catniss doesn’t trust anyone and Prim got selected to slaughter 23 people, or get slaughtered. I like how Catniss os hard core, I don’t think Prim stands a chance in the fight. You cannot say anything bad about the government, or you can be executed easily. By Grape Ape 9. **


 * 1. you can tell that this book is fiction | fantasy because their is no such thing as the **
 * Hunger Games. **
 * 2.Katniss is in love Gale and Katniss's sister Prim just got drafted to the Hunger **
 * Games. **
 * 3.I like Gale because he seems cool and he knows how to hunt. **
 * 4.The government threats everybody like slaves and Prim just got drafted to the **
 * Hunger Games. **
 * 5.Because it might lead to conflict and maybe war. By Drakzilla **
 * 1.) I think its a fake because they don’t call their country Panum when it ounce was “North America”. So its a Fantasy/Science fiction.**


 * 2.) That they’re starving and they pick kids to fight each other and the winner gets food.**


 * 3.) I like how Katniss is really mature and takes care of her family.**


 * 4.) That Katniss’s little sister has to go to the war thing that they have for kids to win the food.**

By: BAnne45
 * 5.) Because they will get sent to prison or put on trial.**

 * 1) 1.) In real life we don’t have to play in the Hunger Games. There isn’t even a game called the Hunger Games.

 * 3) ==== Katniss is nice, and goes hunting all the time. ====

=== People aren’t allowed to do that make kids fight to the death I mean gosh. Their is a girl named Katniss and she has bows and hunts with them. She catches animals and sell them for food and money. That is how she takes care of her family. She hunts thats against the law and she is smart so she can make a different in her family. Katniss is the only one who can take care of her family and they have a hard time. A lot of people are vary nervous. And don’t want to disappoint each other and they might get put in trial. ===

=== 1) Why would you have a thing when you kill each other, you have to be the last man standing!2)We know that she has been taking care of her family ever sence she was 12!3) They are awesome at hunting!4)That Prim is in HUNGER GAMES!5)Because if they do they will be well...DESTROYED === by judo_flow!

**Catniss, 15 year old girl, friends w/ Gale and has name in 21 times.**
 * 1) **Gale, is a 18 year old boy who has to care for 7 children and has his name in 42 times.**
 * Primrose, an 12 year old girl who has name in 1 time, and got picked! 1/1000 people.**
 * 3)the skills i like about kat is she has major hunting skills,smart, and can blow your head off w/ a single punch to the head!**
 * 1) **the problems are that when every body turns 12, you will get a slip towards the hunger games. you can put in more slips in order to get more food for your family. Kat put her name in 21 slips. Although Gale put his name in 41 times and I don’t if he got picked yet. I think the worst problem is that Kat’s sister got picked.**
 * 2) **If you yell out loud about the government you can get a bullet thru your head. Also the reason the hunger games started, was because the districts held a rebellion, so district 13 got obliterated!!!**

BigMac

** 1. You can tell it is not real because it is in the future and there is no district 12 or anything. **


 * 2. That Katniss is real poor, has no dad, is controlled by people, and is going in to a big fight in a arena. **


 * 1) ** I think Katniss is a talented hunter and fighter. **

** 4. I think the worst so far is that Katniss is going to fight one of her friends and is praobly going to die in the arena. ** **MISTERNOVEMBER**

The reason why the book is science/fiction is because their is no such thing as the hunger games. I would say that katniss has a “friend” named Gale. that she really likes. Her sister Prim the younger sister, has just been drafted to go to the hunger games :(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!their mom is in a depression because of her husband has died she can’t really do any thing, she some times stirs when its a happy day. I like Katniss because she go’s hunting all the time and she is awesome!!! Prim, Katniss’s little is drafted to the hunger games and BECAUSE IF THEY SUGGEST THEIR OPPINION THE MIGHT DIE, GO TO JAIL, PRISION....... By: 1i

** 1.)I don’t think its real because of the content and the way they’re telling it. **
 * 2.)Of the characters we know Katniss, Prim, Gale, and katniss and Prim’s mom. **
 * 3.)i think that the way katniss hunts, and her personality will make her very likable. **
 * 4.)problems that the characters face so far are starvation, and loss of a father **
 * 5.)People have to worry about sharing their opinions in public because if the capitol hears something bad said about them, they’ll get mad and take you away .**


 * JAY409 ** ** ☢+☣=☠✌ **
 * 1) ** This is A fantasy, and it isn’t a real story. **
 * 2) ** Katnis, Cinna, Gale, and Katnis mom. **
 * 3) ** The attributes or skills about them I like is “THE FIRE” that Kattnis is wearing in the parade. **
 * 4) ** the problems they have in the book; is that Katnis is in the “GAMES”. BUT the main problem is that Katnis is going to die in the games. **
 * 5) ** Because the capital is DANGERS!!!!! **

Day 13 Response:

= = =** Katniss Everdeen is a citizen of District 12. They are located within the country of Panem. What do you think happened to the United States that led to it's destruction and eventual rise of Panam? **= = = =** The Reaping Day forces a difficult decision for Katniss. What would you have done in that situation? Would it have been easy or difficult? If you are the youngest in your family, would an older sibling have made the same choice for you that Katniss did for Prim? **= = = =** Describe what economics concepts you have noticed so far in the novel. How might the title, THE HUNGER GAMES, be more telling that just a book title when it comes to making future predictions? We noted the quote, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." How might / does the concept of the Hunger Games illustrate this concept? How do the people of District 12 feel about the games? **= = = = panam had a big war and then became the united states. It would be difficult but I would get the most advice as I could. no my older sibling would if my name got pulled. and the hunger games makes sense now because because you have limited food at the games. and my perdition is that peta is going to die. I think the district is saying we have the power. pistons 4 ever = = = =** Grape Ape 9 **= = I think earthquakes and forestfires and stuff happened to the point that they gave up and terrorists took over the government. I would have sacrificed myself, I mean, why would you want to keep living if life was like that. It would not have been hard at all, If you win, you get a better life, If you die you get a better life. I don’t know if my lil’ bro would have felt the same way. The people of district 12 hate the reaping and secretly, the government. This book is absolutley = = = = unpredictable. =

sunshine I think global warming happened and then storms, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards came. These things destroyed our world and civilization! I would have definitely volunteered for my little sibling. It would’ve been easy and difficult at the same time. I think that my older brother would’ve done it for me. I wouldn’t have wanted him to though! I think that the title Hunger Games means that some people will die of starvation. That could be their main problem. Well, the last person standing wins and has limitless power! The only person who can stop the winner is themselves and no one is more powerful then them! Most people of District 12 don’t like the Hunger Games. Some people, like Effie Trinket, like the Games a lot! MISTERNOVEMBER ** ells **
 * 1) I think there were wars and natural disasters.
 * 2) I would have ran away so I didn’t have to fight
 * 3) I think it would be difficult, very hard.
 * 4) I don’t have a older brother/sister
 * I think that we started to fight,over land and it led to war. I think that one of my brothers would do it for me I think it would be very difficult. Yes my one of older brothers would. I have noticed that they are starving, poor, dyeing, and not being taken care of. I think it illustrates that they are all staved. I think that they act scared, nervous,and sad. **

=//** By: DIRTBIKERACER1212 **//= =//** I think there was a lot of natural disasters and wars that destroyed it. I would probly do what Catniss did even though it would be a tough choice. Probly not even though I am a only child. **//=

**I thinks its because of are economy because of HIGH gas prices. I hope soon we will have a much better economy.**
 * It would be a hard choice to do that because I think my brother would do that for me.**
 * The kids in District 12 are scared to be in the games because one of the kids survive and one dies.**

I think at the time the U.S was kind of a poor country at that time and these foirgen guys came to take over and they had a war to see who would get this land ,the foirgen guys won and took over. I would have done the same thing as Katniss and voluntered. It would have been difficult because your most likely to get killed. I'm the oldest ,but I if I was the youngest, I think they would. By Drakezilla

Giggles 1. I think the U.S. was destroyed by other people from different countries. They were probably enemies to the U.S. and we were in a war with them and lost. They burned down our cities and rebuilt their own. They got rid of our country’s name and gave it a new one, Panam. 2. It would be a easy and difficult decision. Difficult because you don’t want to die, but easy because you don’t want your little sister or brother to die even more. If I had an older brother or sister, I think they would have done the same thing for me because we all come from the same family and we all love each other equally. 3. I’ve noticed that food is probably too expensive and people don’t have jobs so they aren’t making any money to be able to buy the food that costs too much. I think the title of the book could also mean a hunger for power or a hunger for being famous. I think there is just one person in control of all of the Districts and that person probably isn't a good person. They want all the power but they get it in a bad way. They make kids kill other kids for food. Instead they should just be giving food away so people aren’t starving. The people probably hate the games because their kids are the ones fighting and could be killed.

bob0711

I think they had multiple natural disasters that killed everyone ad then the Chinese came over and learned English and named the land Panem. I would of done the same as Katniss. It would be difficult. I am the oldest. I think the hunger games makes a prediction that they are going to play a game for food.

I think that it is the economy to i, do AGREE with BAnne45. Also i think that the kids in District 12 are scared of the HUNGER GAMES BECAUSE some one survives the game and some one dies. That would be a little scary!!!!!! Also this book is really UNPREDICTABLE FOR ANY ONE SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. by; Reeses rox

=== I think there was a lot of natural dissasters that hit North America like tsunamis,earthquakes,and tornados no one wanted to go there and the dissasters stopped and they came there and didn’t know what country it was so they gave it a new name called panem. If I were Catniss I would have made that decision to sacravice my live for my family to have them live instead of me that dessision would have been hard but I would have done it for my sister. === === Yes they probably would but it would be a lot harder for me then them. I have noyiced that they have a bad economy like they don’t get much food because they don’t have much jobs around. It is more interesting because it is basically telling you the big idea of the book and it will real in more people into the book that people don’t get much food and they have to play games for it. When you have total power that soon you will figure out that no one can control you and that you can do anything you like and no one can stop you. They like it when an older person goes but not when a young person say prime she is only a twelve years old so the croud was silent and then catniss voluntered to switch with prim and be in the hunger games and the croud gave her the sign of respect and all of thet stuff. they would put three fingers on there mouth and wave it off. ===

===I think that Obama decided he wanted to go to war and then they beat us and took control over the U.S. Then they named it Panam. I am the youngest in m y family and I think that one of my siblings would do that for me. I also think it would be difficult for me to go and do the games. I think that the Hunger Games means that when they are in the capital they have big amounts of really good food and now they are starving to death! I think that quote means you have to have absolute power or you will DIE! I don’t think that they like the games because “most” people in district 12 are really close! :(===

=
I think that they were trying to combine human and animal dna and i was not right and it made the animal rabid and they built the districts to keep them out. I think it would be hard to kill living people to verse my older sister. =====

I think bad stuff happened. Earthquakes and ex. It would be a difficult decision, would you want to die?I not quite sure, my brother hates me at times. Its probably like it is right now. It could mean that hunger for every one! They would hate the games i would think!

By:Judo_Flow

I think that Obama, would have made a lot of people mad, and a guy got mad, and made a cult agains Obama. and i would do what Katniss would have done, because I would love to fight, and try somthing new in life. Also I think District 12 feels like “the new kid in school” because only one survivor (Haymitch) has survived. Also I think Katniss, and Peeta feel confodent, because thir stylist (Cinna) made them AWESOME costuems. G-B555

Maybe the United States didn’t get along so they split them into 13 different parts as districts. The people of district 12 doesn’t really agree with the games. My brother would probably do that for me. I think it would be a very good choice. By: BAnne45

Yes, i have, once last year i went to Camp Wilderness. I went there for a weekend by myself, but i had 6 other cabin mates to stay in my cabin. I said goodbye to my mom, dad, and my dog! I think peeta’s dad made her cookies, was because he wanted her to like peeta and not want to kill him! I think why she is suspicious, is because peeta’s taking care of haymitch, his dad’s baked her cookies and everybody is tacking care of prim. Everyone is softening her up for the games. Everybody LOVES Prim! Why he drinks, is to escape from the reaping, and to forget his memories of the games. Once again it’s his way of dealing w/ the games. Also because of his guilt for killing other kids. BigMac

I think that Obama, would have made a lot of people mad, and a guy got mad, and made a cult agains Obama. and i would do what Katniss would have done, because I would love to fight, and try somthing new in life. G-B555 __** SoccerStar18 ** **Maybe the states didn’t get along. I would have tried to die before I had to be in the Hunger Games. It would have been hard. You make the government mad, You get a big punishment. This book is probably called Hunger Games because it is all about the Games. District 12 dosen’t like the Games.** __

Wally☢+☣=☠ People were drew crazy by power and ruled over every one and destroid each other. Mainly it was the capital that took over because they still have power over every one. The hunger games is the capital saing I have power over you and you have to watch.

==**Katniss and Peeta have accepted their fates and District 12's tributes. They are wisked away to get prepped for travel to the capital for the Hunger Games. Each person is given time with family & friends.**==

==**Peeta's father, Gale, and Katniss's mother all meet with her before she leaves. Each has an emotional goodbye. Why do you think that Peeta's dad made her cookies? Why might Katniss have been suspicious? Why does everyone promise to take care of Prim? What makes her so special?**==

==Haymitch is an ornery character, to say the least. He is the only surviving winner from District 12 of the Hunger Games. What motivates him to drink? Is this a character flaw or simply his way of dealing with the madness of the Hunger Games? Explain==

I have been on my own caming before, only i was with my friend. I was away for 5 days. I felt Excited, sad, and all fuzzy, and weired. I would want to say good bye to my
Yes,I have ben on my on my own for a week while my my parents were on vacation. It felt good to be trusted. Well my dog because he was at the vet and my parents left with him right after the dogs appointment was done. To leave his son alone. She was suspicious why because she did not know why. Because everyone likes prim. Because she is young and really helpful and nice. to try to tack away the pain and memory. Then he tried to stop but he was addicted. Well it is his way of dealing with the hunger games because he cant remember because he is so drunk. Pistons 4 Ever

Day 15 By Napoleon8 Yes I have when I went to my friend’s (Grape Ape 9) grandparent’s house in Indiana for 4 days on the farm. It felt good to be away from what I normally do. If I had to leave like Katniss and Peeta I would say good bye to all my friends on the lake. I would also say goodbye to my parents. I think that Peeta’s dad gave Katniss cookies because she might think that, //Peeta is very nice, he’s not going to kill me.// And then she would get killed. This might make her suspicious because Peeta had made many other acts of kindness and think that he’s being nice and he’s just faking it to win the games. People are saying that they will take care of Prim because they know that Katniss loves her and she made them promise that they would. I think that Prim is so special because after Katniss’s father died in the mines her mom hasn’t been the same so Katniss has a very good relationship with Prim. I Think that Haymitch drinks because of self security reason’s some how related to the Hunger Games.

I have been away from my mom for a year, in Colorado, because my mom had to get a new job and I had to live with my G-ma. It fely depressing for a looong time, because I missed my mom a lot. I think that Peeta’s dad gave Katniss cookies because he wants Peeta and Katniss to be bff’s. So that she would think: “What a nice man, mabe i wont kill his son anyway..” Also probly because Prim was going to be in the Hunger Games, but Katniss joined insted and Prim was probly nreally popular and everone tinks shes special. I think its a madness, because he wants to get to a “differant world” insted of living the fact that he’s killed people in he past. G-B555

I have been alone in the woods before and i freaked out because of my friend. SO we went camping once in the woods and she was hiding behind a tree, I screamed so loud when she ran up and grabbed me!!!!

I think that Peeta’s dad made her cookies because he maybe wanted her to try less and loses so peeta will win and not die.

i think that every one promises to take care of Prim because maybe some of the people’s kids and she will feel more secure.

i think that Haymich drinks to much because maybe he dosn’t want to remember some memories. 1i

=== Yes i have been home alone before for a couple days it was awsome because I was at my friends cabin and I felt fine Because I was swimming and I didn’t even think about being gone like I felt like I was at home I would like to say goodbye to my famIly because I know them the most and i am closest to them. I think because Petas dad is trying to trick her and think that there friends. Because she dosn’t want to be tricked They do because she is little and everyone likes her because she is so cute. I think he is motivated to drink because he wants to get rid of the terrible memories of the killin and that he might be an alchoholic ===

===** Yes I have been alone when my parents went on vaction.I would want to say good buy to my WHOLE family including my parents and my dog. Because it might soften her up and make not want to kill Peeta. He also might have put drugs in there to make her loose. Because the mom dosn't take care of her that well so far.... and because they know Prim meen's alot to Catniss. He is probably just addicted! It might b the way of dealing with the Hunger Games bacause he might be scared.by DIRTBIKRERACER1212** ===

sunshine I have been alone for about 3 days without them. It made me feel kind of lonely sometimes. I was really happy to come home but I had fun at camp, too. I would want to say good-bye to my dad, mom, brother, and grandparents. I think that he made her cookies to either soften her up so she doesn’t kill his son, or so she would let her guard down. Then Peeta could kill her before she killed him. I think that everyone wanted to take care of Prom so that Katniss wouldn’t have to worry about her. She then wouldn’t have to die worried about her sister. They probably don’t want Prim to have to go to the Hunger Games like her sister. He might have gotten a party after the Games and then just never wanted to stop drinking. I think it’s part of both. It might be a character flaw by being an addiction but then it could be part of the madness. He probably went a little mad when he go to the end of the Games when he won!

**Bob0711**
==**I have been left alone for 2 hours once when I stayed home sick (even though I was fine) because my mom had to help in my sister’s class. I felt lonely and exited. I would say goodbye to my family and friends. I think he made the cookies so she would like peeta and not kill him. She was suspicios because my reason. Prim is little and her mother might not take care of her. What motivates him to drink is before the hunger games started they got all that wine.**==

Giggles I have been on my own before. I get to stay home by myself in the summer when my mom and dad go to work. I am used to it now so I like it. I would say good bye to my parents, grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. I think the cookies are poisoned and Katniss might get hungry and try to eat them and then she’ll die and it would be one less person trying to kill Peeta. Katniss is probably suspicious because it’s kind a weird thing to give a kid when they are going off to the games. I think everyone promised to take care of Prim so Katniss could focus on playing the game and not worrying about her sister. I think Prim is special because she’s the youngest and everyone feels bad for her. I think drinking is his way of dealing with the games. He is probably trying to forget all of the bad things he saw or had to do when he was in the games. Some people just can’t deal with their problems.

1)Ya, every year my mom and dad go away for a couple nights. 2)I was board and a little scared. What if something happened! 3)Definitely my parents! 4)To Soften her up. 5)Because she could of known what was going on! 6)Because she might die! 7)She would be on her own, no one to play with. 8)Its probably because of stress! I mean why else? 9)Its probably they way of dealing with MADNESS! I think it makes perfect sense.

Ells Yes I have been on my own before. I was not that scared but felt fine, and normal. I would probably want to say good bye to, my family, cousins, and my best friends. I think he gave her the cookies so that she knew he would take care of Prim and to show that it was brave to do what she did. I think it is because she is about to go kill his son. I think everyone knew her father died and her mother did not take care of them well. She is so special because when they called her sister she volunteered to go to the Hunger games for her. I think that when he drinks it clears his past (the hunger games). I think it is just his way of dealing with the Hunger Games.

** I think it is his way of dealing with the hungergames **
Bballplayer4life: I haven’t been “away” but i have been left home alone before. It felt normal because I always do it after school and it feels fine. The part when Peeta’s dad said goodbye and gave her cookies was odd but he was just being a suck-up so she wouldn’t kill his son. They are all promising to take care of Prim because they all know that Katniss is the “provider” for the family ever since her dad died. I think he drinks because he is depressed or angry about himself killing all those people. So he feels that he has to be an addict because it’s the only thing that takes the pain away.

** Well when my parents went on a cruise to Jamacia for their 10 year Anniversay and I stayed at my Grandparents.I would see my Parents if I was leaving.So she would keep an alienece with his son. **
 * Because really nobody has given her food and why right now.Because if they watch Prim ,she will protect their son. Prim is so speacial because she is the only one to take care of her Mom. **
 * Haymich’s motivation to drink is to relieve his pain and bad thoughts. I think it’s both because he is an achohlic and like I said to relieve the pain.By Drakezilla **

Wally☢+☣=☠ Yes I have it is very scary and I wish I saw my Mom I was lost out in the woods and my freinds played a prank on me. They keep on making noises and scared me a lot. I think to soften her up to not kill his son or mabey just to be nice.

** Grape Ape 9 **
====** The only time I’ve been away from my family for //that// long is when I stayed at my grandma and grandpa for ten days in Indiana. But I was fine because they have a Wii and every night after dinner I would cream my grandma in Wii tennis. I think he made her cookies because he felt bad for her. But she was probly suspicious ‘cuz she would be fighting each other in the games. Every one knew what they were going through, and they knew the mom was so depressed because they had already lost their dad, so they didn’t want Prim to starve. Haymitch is a drunk, and he wants to drink to cover up all the bitter emotions that dominate his thoughts. **==== Jay409☢+☣=☠✌ Yes I have it is very scary and I wish I saw my Mom I was lost out in the woods and my freinds played a prank on me. They keep on making noises and scared me a lot. I think to soften her up to not kill his son or mabey just to be nice.

I was away from my parents for 10 days and I missed them terribly! I would tell bye to my mom and dad. I think Peetas dad gave her cookies because to trick Katniss to think that Peeta’s to nice to kill in the games. They act like that to Prim because she’s only 12 years old and the youngest. I think Haymich drinks to forget about the experience in the games.

**What I think happened to the u.s.a was world war 7 happened between all the countries. China is in ruins and so is the usa, but still surviving. The president knew it was gunna happen so he and his family, escaped into space. So usa could die. Eventually Panem, rose and usa lived again! If it was my sister i WOULD be a sub for her. sense i have more training, and survival skills, I would survive longer. It would be an easy decision, because, I would WANT to go to the games anyways to get life over with. If I had a choice to starve to death or get pampered, fed endless food, and get the WHOLE county to love me... I’ll chose the games any day! I don’t know. It depends what age i am because one of my sisters already 19 so she can’t go and by the time I'm 12, both my older sisters will be over 18 years old! :( The economics are that the capital has TOTAL control over the country! If you disobey, you’ll ether die, or get your tough gets cut off, and you get turned into an AVOX! How the HUNGER GAMES title play along with the book, is that people are starved to death, then you enter a tesserae, you get grains, and oils, but, you are more likely to get picked! Then once you get picked, you are thrown into an arena with 23 other tributes! I don’t really know but, I think if you say your opinion, you will get thrown in jail like the rebellion.** **Rebellion+Opinion= Capital destroying all districts and wiping district 13 off the planet! They think it is terrible that there kids have to battle other kids to the death. BigMac**

__**Day 17**__
== **As the games get closer, Katniss and Peeta meet with their stylists, get a makeover, and participate in the opening games ceremony.**== == **1.) Describe Katniss & Peeta's outfits. What made them take a "leap of faith" when it came to letting the stylists prep them for this?**== == **Repeatedly Katniss makes comments, or actions that lead you to believe that she is getting ready to "play" the game with Peeta as an opponent. He often makes conversation or actions that make you the reader ask, "Is he beinig genuine, or is he also playing the game?"**== == 2.) **What do you think? What evidence do you base this on? Explain.**== ** 1.)the out fits were black suits with helmets that were lit on fire. the stylists were professionals and they really needed sponsor's. she says like if you jump off the chariot I will jump off the chariot.I think peta is doing both playing the game and beinig genuine. ** <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">**pistons 4 ever**  Wally ☢ <span style="color: #113f6a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">+ ☣ <span style="color: #113f6a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">= ☠ They were very cool because they were on fire literally but it was funny because they didn’t even get burnt and that sounded really cool. They laughed and joked about each other and they were happy but they also were about to kill each other so they acted like they liked each other then bam they are going to have to kill each other that is how I feel about my brother were friends then he becomes a back stabber.

The costume had a black cape that had synthetic fire so she would be known as the girl that was on fire!!! the costume that Cinna, her hair, costume, and other stylist was very smart and brilliant to her... the costume made all the other contestants jealous. No, I really think that Peeta just wants to be friends with Katniss so she won't try to kill him and so he will win the Hunger Games. 1I
 * 1) ## **There costume was made by a fabric that was as black as coal, and there cape and head piece was on FIRE!!! All the spectators were “ooohhh-ing and aaaahhhh-ing” at them because how cool their outfit was! the outfit made all the others jealous!**
 * 2) **No, I truely think that he is trying to befreind Kat, so she doesn’t want to kill him. He wants her to know that she’s got a friend out there if she gets in BigMac**

**Giggles**
 * Katniss and Peeta’s wore long black robes that had a hood. The hood was actually on fire! The crowd went wild when they saw them. They wore those outfits because they probably trusted the stylist. I think that both of them really do care about each other, but they can’t let their guard down because when it comes down to it the other person might try to kill you. I think they want to be genuine but they can’t quite yet, because they don’t know if they can really trust each other yet.**

= ** by dirtbike12 **= = ** It was dangerous because they had flaming caps that were actuly on fire! I think he is playing "the game". I think he is faking and will try to kill her in the games. Just the way he is being so nice to her, I just think he is faking it because what is in it for him. In the time that there in you can never know if someone is on your side. Everyone is so desperat. I do think he will turn on her. **=

They were wearing the most “differant” costuems in the games. They were on fire, and dressed CRAZY! Ithink Katniss is thinking that Peeta is tring to make friends with her so that he can kill her a hole lot easier! Because he keeps commenting how good she is, etc.. Also his dad ave her cookies, and Peeta said his mom “wants” her to win. So i think Peet a being genuine... G-B555

B-MAN
==== Katniss and Peeta outfits were long robes that were flaming red and the croud gave huge cheers. I think they trust Cinna because he was very nice and has been doing it for a while and he talked to them and told them it would be fine. I think Peeta is playing the game but iching toward to liking catniss and he will soon like her and not want to kill her in the games. ==== = Grape Ape 9 =

= They both wear casual clothes normally, but not that day that they wore flaming clothes. They trust Cinna 'cuz they know he means well. I think Peeta likes Catniss, even though she thinks he's acting = MISTERNOVEMBER It was dangerous because they had hats that were actually on fire. I think that he is playing the game because he is acting... not normal. I am not a 100% sure though. I think he is pretending to be weak when he is strong. sunshine Their outfits were black with orange and red flames on them. Then, they lit their capes on fire and walked out holding hands. I think he is getting ready for the Games also. He is being really nice and doing everything for her. He talks to her all the time, but resists talking about the Games!

** They are supposed to b on fire! Every body was like OHHHHH,AHHHHHH. I think he is really just playing the game. She had the highest score so he’s probably just playing the game. **

There styles ae "flames." and its a bad idea to me, because it would be a giant threat knowing that they would get a ton of sponsers and getting sponsers, means that you get a lot of weapons. That means that people are gonna want to kill you faster so that they dont die because you have a lot of weapons. I think Peeta is playing the game, because he's trying to get Katniss to like him so that shes a smaller threat to kill. And my proof is that he's telling Haymitch that shes a great bow and arrow hunter, and she has great skills!  G-B555

**Their costumes are black with fire designs on it and the capes are on fire!!! I think he is also playing the game. He is just self training for the game.**
** I went to a camp for a week. I felt sort of homesick, but my friends took me to the lake to go down the waterslide, I felt much better. Yeah, I would want to see my grandma, grandpa, mom, and dad. I think Peeta’s dad was trying to say “Don’t kill my son and good luck”. Katniss was thinking what is the dad of the guy I might kill giving my cookies? They know she might die. Prim can’t take care of her self and her mom. I think he thinks drinking will take his memory of the games. SoccerStar18 **

=== 1.)Well to begin I liked the outfits they wore in the opening ceremony because they were exploded with flames, and it seemed really cool but i wouldn’t want to be there. I think that he is being genuine and likes her. ===

Their costumes were awesome! They were flames all over there outfits It made they other districts jealous. I think Peeta is not really on her side just going along. By: BAnne45 <span style="font-family: Arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Day 17 by Napoleon8 There outfits were boots, and a cape with artificial fire on it. It was a leap of faith because it was so amazing, that she will definetly get sponsors, that would give here medicines, and weapons to help in the games. I think he is being genuine because because he said that he had a crush on the person who she came with to the Capitol. He has also being very nice to her.

= = ** Their costumes were really black and their caps were dangerous because they were on fire. ** = = __Day 19__ Katniss realizes just how unjust the whole process is, and has difficulty keeping her emotions in check. Describe a time when you lost your temper, why did it happen? Where there any positives that came of it? = = What "angle" would you take for your interview? cocky / arrogant, humble, nervous, vulnerable, mysterious, witty, etc... = = How does the fact that tributes are always on camera affect their behavior from the time they are chosen? Does it make it easier or harder for them to accept their fate? How are "career tributes" different than the others?
 * I think now that Katniss knows that Peeta wants to do separate training so she now thinks he doesn’t want to really be partners anymore,so she ignores him. The evidence is that Peeta asked Haymich for separate training ,so thats basically means that he doesn’t really want to work with Katniss anymore.By Drakezilla **

When my brothers friend was talking about my Girl friend at the time in a bad way, I went up to him talked to him about it. Then he pushed me, and we got in a BIG fight.. Later on I had to go to the hospital, for a fracterd ankle..

I would be myself, because I dont want people to thing less, or more of me just beause Im doing a stupid interveiw...

Further more, it affects that they cant act out, misbehave, etc.. EVERYBODY would know about it.. I think itll be harder, because mabe if the person isnt into killin or slaughtering people. but they HAVE to kill people.. and “carrer tributes” are differant, because they might be into: mineing, atacking, etc..<span style="font-family: Arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"> When my brothers friend was talking about my Girl friend at the time in a bad way, I went up to him talked to him about it.

I was very frustrated and tired and hungry. I started freaking out at my mom and throwing a major fit. She just stood there and laughed at me because I was acting to crazy.

 * 4. Career tributes are people who spend all of their time training for the games and then volunteer to play. They think it is a big honor or something to play. They aren’t scared to play like the other tributes. **

dirbike12 When rockey99 looked into my back pack. He was shuffling threw it trying to steal stuff! I spotted him! I grabbed him threw him to the ground. I put him in a head lock then tripped him and threw him in to a wall. There were some positives in this. He didn't steal anything! I would be cocky. I think it would tel lthe sponsors that I was a killing machine. Then they would sponsor me.I think It would make them make better choices.I tink harder.They work in a pack to kill more people.

I think Katniss is Humble and Nervous at the interview. One time I was really mad at my mom and I screamed that I hated her and I ran to my room. After that I felt really bad so I went down stairs and said that I didn’t hate her and that I loved her. I think the fact of the camera changes their behavior.

Wally☢+☣=☠ they were pretty cool and I think that the stylist did a good job and that they should be rewarded for doing a good a good job and they looked like they were on fire. Every one thought that they look good.
