The Hunger Games ~Ch. 11

Chapter 11

1. What is the Cornucopia?

~The Cornucopia is a huge gold horn with a curved tail. In the Cornucopia lies various weapons and things that will help them survive. The Cornucopia is in the center of the arena. The Cornucopia is 20 feet tall.

2. How does Katniss make it into the woods? What weapons does she choose? Why?

~ She made it to the woods by running as fast as she could. But she didn't go straight for the woods. She went to the Cornucopia to try and get an orange bag that was filled with things that would help her survive. She chooses this because she knows it will help her later on in the games. Then when she starts running to the woods the girl career tribute throws a knife at Katniss. The knife strikes the bright orange backpack, then she continues to run as far away as possible.

3. Why is Katniss angry at the tribute who starts the fire? Who is hunting in the pack?                                                  

~Katniss is angry at the tribute who starts the fire when it begins to get dark. Everyone will be able to see the fire that the girl had created. The career tributes that are remaining are the career tributes from districts 1, 2, and 4, two boys and three girls. Peeta is also in the hunting pack.

~"A boy, I think from District 9, reaches the pack at the same time I do and for a brief time we grapple for it and then he coughs, splattering my face with blood. i stagger back, repulsed by the warm, sticky spray. Then the boy slips to the ground. That's when I see the knife in his back."   (150)
 ~"An argument breaks out until one tribute silences the others. "We're wasting time! I'll go finish her and let's move on!" I almost fall out the tree. The voice belongs to Peeta."   (160) 
~"One. . . two. . . three . . . on and on until they reach eleven. Eleven dead in all. Thirteen left to play."   (153)
