4.What do you feel is the purpose of the hunger games?
I think it's a wonderful but horrible idea to have the hunger games.It's good purpose because it shows people there place.To never rebel again and to follow orders.It's a bad purpose because children have to fight to the death thats not fair for those poor children.They should think of other ways of keeping people from rebelling.Show them that they do care about there people instead of having the games and booming district 13 .

In the Capitol all they care about is how they look. In district 12 its all about trying to stay alive. District 12 is a place were you can starve you work hard to stay alive and just get food on there plates . The Capitol is where people are rich and they can buy and support them selves.

Peeta is being very friendly with Katniss. Katniss thinks he's trying to lure him in. She believes he is decieving her. I would think the same thing. They are about to rip eachother's heads off she cant trust anyone.She returns the trickery by kissing him on the cheek.

1. The presentation of the tributes seems to be greatly focused on visual presentation and looks — what does this reveal about the belief systems of the Capitol?
I think this reaveals that the capitol thinks that fashin is more important. The tributes neesd to dress up nicely because so they get tributes. That sucks because if they don't look pretty they won't get sponsors.
CHAPTER 4 QUESTIONS: The Hunger Games
1. Do you think Haymitch will be helpful as a mentor? Why or why not?

2. What does Katniss mean when she says: “A Kind Peeta Mellark is far more dangerous to me than an unkind one”?
I think she means that kind people mess with her more .She might fall for their lies easily.
Its a problem because if he is acting nicewith her, it will be harder for her to kill him. If it was an unkind person she wouldn't have that much of a problem.

When she saw the dandelion, Katniss gained hope. She remembered all the things her dad taught her about hunting. She could hunt things down for food.
She could gather things for trade.
Also, she was going to get a tesserae in order to get grain and oil in March 8th
because he gave bread to katniss when she really needed it was what made me come with this conclusion of peetas way.
