1. What do the scores in the trainings mean to the tributes? What scores do Peeta and Katniss receive?
~ The scores mean how good they are at something. Like Katniss showed her special skill which is shooting an arrow. Peeta showed the Gamemakers his greatest skill which is carrying heavy things. Peeta recieved an eight. Katniss recieved an eleven.
2. How did Katniss and Gale meet? Describe their story.
~ They met when Katniss saw a dead rabbit hanging from a tree. Then Gale springed out and said, "That's dangerous." Gale was only fourteen then, but he was six feet tall and was as good as an adult. Then he said "Well, Catnip, stealing's punishable by death, or hadn't you heard?" Then Katniss said her name louder beacause she thought he heard it wrong and made it clear that she wasn't going to steal it. Then he saw her arrows and then he smiled. They just talked about hunting, but as they got closer they became friends.
