~ They connected many tubes to her body. They removed all of the scraches and scars. The place where she burned her calf seemed like it never happened.

Foxface, the boy from District 9 and worse of all, the small dark one, Rue! The mutated mutts are all of the tributes who have died.

2. How does Katniss use her last arrow?
~ Katniss uses her last arrow to finish off Cato. She shoots Catto to stop his suffering. She didn't want to hear him wine anymore. I think she actually helped him out by taking him out faster and less painful than the mutts bites would have been. That is how Katniss uses her last arrow.

3. What happens when the Gamemakers revoke the rule change?
~ Katniss and Peeta don't want to kill eachother just to win. So what they do is they stick poisonous berries in their mouth and they plan to swallow on three.

~ Peeta and Katniss headed for the lake suspecting Cato already there. Then out of a sudden, he came running straight nfor them. Then Katniss shot an arrow at his stomach, but it bounced off.

4. What happens to Foxface?
~ She was poisoned by berries that Peeta had left in the cave. Peeta had gathered berries while Katniss went off to hunt. He thought those berries were the same ones that Katniss had given him.

Each backpack contains things that will help them survive.

~ Haymitch sends Katniss some special syrup. The syrup makes people fall asleep. Katniss gave it to Peeta, but she didn't give it to him alone.

She gave it to Peeta so he could fall asleep and she could go to the feast.

2. What is Peeta's true talent?
~ Peeta's true talent is camouflage. He camouflaged himself with mud and plants. Katniss said forget about the weights.

3. How does Katniss treat Peeta's wound?
~ First she removes his clothes. Then she helps him into the shallow part of the stream. After she puts some of the medicine that she recieved for the burns she puts it on his wounds. Then she takes off the

~ They hide out in a small cave. The cave is near a stream. Katniss tries to cover up the entrance of the cave, but then she takes it off because she says it looks too man-made. In the cave they kiss eachother. They kiss eachother because they are supposed to be in love.

5 How and why do they get the pot of broth?  
~ They get the pot of broth from Haymitch. Haymitch sends them the pot because Peeta and Katniss kissed. They acted like they were in love.

Chapter 18
1. What does Katniss do for Rue?
~ When Rue is dying Katniss sings her a song. The song that Katniss sings is the same song she used to sing to prim. It is a simple lullaby. They sang that song to hungry babies to go to sleep. When Rue passes, Katniss has not finished the lulluby, but feels that she has to for Rue. After Katniss sings Rue and she dies, Katnis braids flowers into Rues hair and body.

   

2. Who sponsors a gift for her? What is it?
~ District 11 sponsors a gift for Katniss. The gift from District 11 ia bread. They sent her bread for what she did whith Rue. Katniss knows they are pleased with what she did with Rues body. I think the bread is a way of saying thank you.

~ She hates the Capitol more than she did before the Hunger Games. She wants to find a way to seek revenge upon the Capitol. She wants revenge for Rue. She wants to show the Capitol that Rue and herself aren't a piece in the Hunger Games. She finally understands Peeta when he said that he wanted to show the Capitol that he wasn't a piece in the game when they were talking on the roof.

 

4. What rule change do the Gamemakers announce? ~ The Gamemakers made a rule change. The rule change was if the both tributes from the same district survived and were the last ones standing, then they would both win. I think this rule change was made for the star-crossed lovers from District 12. They probably wanted Peeta and Katniss to face the other districts together especially Cato. That was the rule change that they had announced.

The Hunger Games ~ Ch. 16

Chapter 16

1. What is Katniss' offensive attack?
~ Katniss' offensive attack is to first go and find the Careers supplies. Then she is going to go and destroy them. To do so, she uses only three arrows. She aims the arrows at a bag that contains apples. On her third shot she realeases the apples. When the apples fall to the ground, BOOM! She blew up the supplies by letting the apples fall to the ground hitting the mines that surrounded them.


2. In what ways are the Careers at a disadvantage?
~ The Careers have always been well fed. They don't know how it is to be starved like Katniss knows. They can't survive without their supplies because they can't hunt. They never had to. They never needed to.

3. What important information does Rue provide?
~ Rue tells Katniss that the Careers are hiding by the lake. They have all their supplies there stacked up in a pyramid. The boy from District 3 is left to guard their campground. He is left with a spear to fend off any enemies. Rue also tells Katniss that Peeta isn't in the Careers anymore.

4. What is Rue's favorite thing? How does this connect to Katniss?
~ Music is Rues most favorite thing. She sang with the mockingjays back home in District 11. This connects to Katniss because her father had a great voice. The mockingjays used to stop singing to hear him. They would also sing with him sometimes.

5. Why can't Katniss get to the bounty of supplies? How is she able to destroy it?
~ Katniss can't get to the supplies because there are many mines surrounding it. The boy from District 3 renabled the mines. She destroys the supplies by gradually making the sack of apples rip. When the apples fell on a mine it triggered all the other mines. Then there were no more supplies for the Careers.

Important Quotes
~ " That the Careers have been better fed growing up is actually to their disadvantage, because they don't know how to be hungry. Not the way Rue and I do. " (208)

~ " I turn and head back to the stream, feeling somehow worried.

No, Prim has my mother and Gale and the baker who has promised she won't go hungry. Rue has only me." (213)
~ " For a moment, everything seems frozen in time. Then the apples spill to the ground and I'm blown backward into the air. " (221)

The Hunger Games ~ Ch. 15

Chapter 15

1. Who forms an alliance with Katniss?

~ The girl tribute from district 11 forms an alliance with Katniss. Her name is Rue. Katniss asks her to be her ally because Rue helped her with the tracker jackers. Also Katniss thinks she is good enough to be alive anyways. Also because Rue reminds Katniss so much of her little twelve year old sister, Prim.

2. How does this alliance benefit both parties? 

~ This alliance benefits both parties because Rue helps Katniss heal her tracker jacker stings with some leaves that Rue found. Rue also knows a lot about agriculture so she knows what plants and fruits to eat. Katniss helps Rue because Katniss can hunt for the both of them. Katniss also gives Rue some of the medicine that her sponsors gave her to heal her wounds.

3. What are some differences between District 11 and District 12?

~ District 11 is an agricultural district, while District 12 is a coal mining district. At first Katniss thinks her district is the most strict district of all, that is until she finds out about Rue's district. District 11 is really strict. They don't let them eat any of the agriculture. If they do eat it they get whipped in front of everyone. In District 12 their is hardly any whipping because the mayor of district 12 isn't that strict as the district 11 mayor.

Important Quotes

They just stuck to the sections like were they taught you how to tie a rope. Katniss' dress had many gems on it. With all those gems on it it made her dress look like it was on fire because it sparkled a lot. The audience might have liked her dress a lot because it looked like she was on fire the same way she was at the opening ceremony.

Chapter 7

1 What are the pros and cons of Peeta and Katniss being coached together?

~Some of the pros are they might find out the things they are good at. A con is that they use their weaknesses against eachother. But if they train together they can help each other with eachothers weaknesses. One of the pros is they could become allies and work together to kill the other tributes. Those are the pros and cons that I think they would have.

2 What reasons does Peeta give for thinking Katniss will be better than him in the arena?

~He said his father loved the squirrels she hunted down for him because she doesn' shoot the body. His father likes the fact that she shoots it in the eye and never misses. He even says she can hunt and kill a deer. Also that his mother said that Katniss will come back being the winner. 

3.What are Career Tributes and how are they a threat?

~Career tributes are the tributes who train ahead of time so they could win the hunger games. They are a threat because they already know how to play the game.  They know how to handle deadly weapons. They now how to defend themselves. They have already figured out where to hide and how they are going to play the game.

4 What does Katniss do to get the Gamemakers' attention?

~ When it is Katniss' turn, the Gamemakers seem kind of bored. They are not paying attention because she is the second to last tribute and they are tired. Plus, they might also be distracted by the pig that was being brought in. She got angry so she threw an arrow in their direction. It peirced the apple in the roasted pigs mouth. Then it went through the apple and into the wall.
