The Hunger Games~ Ch.10

Chapter 10

1. Why does Peeta reveal his love for Katniss? Do you think he really loves her? Why or why not?

~ I think Peeta reveals his love for Katniss so more sponsors will want both of them. Also because their will be more "drama" in the hunger games. Yes, I do think Peeta really loves Katniss. I think he loves her because whenever Katniss talks about Gale, he always insists that he is her boyfriend. I think he gets jealous whenever she mentions Gale.

2. What is Peeta's main concern during the hunger games?

~ Peeta wants to die as himself. He doesn't want to turn into something he is not like a monster. When the time comes he says he will kill. He won't go down without a fight. He wants to show the Capitol that they don't own him.

 3. How does the Capitol view the previous arenas of the hunger games? How many games have there been?

~  The arenas are historic sites. They preserve them after the games. They are popular destinations where people from the Capitol can come and vist or vacation. They can go for a month and rewatch the games, tour the catacombs, visit the places where the deaths took place. You can even take part in reenactments. There has been 73 Hunger Games not including this one.

4. What do you feel is the purpose of the hunger games?
~ I feel that the purpose of the hunger games is just to show the districts that the capitol has power over them. It si so the Districts can be scared of them.
