Hunger Games ~ Ch. 7

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.
