CHAPTER 10: The Hunger Games

1.Why does Peeta reveal his love for Katniss? Do you think he really loves her? Why or why not?
Headmitted it so he could become more popular with the people watching
and to get more sponsors for him and Katniss. . But I don't think he is
telling the truth and  Haymitch told him to say something like

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 .
