Chapter1 Questions

1.Describe District 12.
   District 12 is one of the poorest of the districts. This is probably because the main job there is mining. Most of the people die there of starvation.So some people have to go out to the woods (which is illegal) and kill animals.So people wouldn't go out to woods or so animals wouldn't come in they put an electric fence right outside the district. But the district is so poor that the fence is only a couple of hours a day.But it still does a good job keeping the animals out.
2.What illegal activity does Katniss participate in doing?Why does she need to do this?
     The illegal activity Katniss participates in doing is trespassing into the woods and killing animals. She need to this to feed her family.If she didn't her family would starve and die. Although if she gets caught she could suffer the worst  of penalties even death.But most of the people don't tell her anything because they all want fresh meat but they themselves can't do anything because they can't hunt.
3.Describe the relationship between Gale and Katniss? Do you have a relationship like this in your own life?
    The relationship between Gale and Katniss is I guess is kind of one in between two friends maybe even best friends. Katniss is sometimes jealous of Gale when girls say that they like him.Although this isn't because she likes him its because good hunting partners, like Gale, are hard to find.And if a girl was to keep him busy she would have to hunt by herself which is harder.
4.How is Madge different from Katniss and Gale?
   Madge is different from both of them because she's the mayors daughter so she's richer than both of them put together.And since she's always been  well fed she's never had to apply for tessera.(Tessera is when you decide that you want the capital to give you bread you tell them but at the same time they put your name twice as many times in the reaping.)But people like Madge don't need the bread so she's not in any real danger of being picked at the reaping.
5.What is the reaping?Do you think this practice is fair?
   The reaping is when everyones name is put into two glass balls(boys and girls) depending how old you are and if you applied for tessera they might put your name in more times .Then somebody grabs two slips one from the boys' ball and one from the girls'.And who's ever picked has to be in the Hunger Games.I don't this fare especially for the twelve year olds who haven't even gone through half their lives.
6.Who is selected at the reaping?
   Katniss and a baker's boy named Peeta was selected at the reaping.
