The Hunger Games Chapter 7

1. What are the pros and cons of Peeta and Katniss being coached together?
The pros of Peeta and Katniss being coached together is that if one of them can't do a trick they can help each other and correct their mistakes. They can learn new tricks from each other and will get exact the same teachings. Another pro is that you won't doubt id Haymitch is giving more advice to one of the tributes than the other. The cons are that you can see the tributes weaknesses and strengths, which might give one of them ideas of how to kill them when it comes to the games.
2. What reasons does Peeta give for thinking Katniss will be better than him in the arena?
Peeta tells Katniss that she can hunt and aim at things easily and much much better than him. I could tell that he is convinced that he will loose in the games. Katniss simply doesn't believe she is better than Peeta, she declares good strategies Peeta has. I think Katniss does have a very good chance of winning but i think she has a weakspot at a point.

3. What are Career Tributes and how are they a threat?
Career tributes are peopl who train for the games their whole life they know the key to survival and have many strategies to kill people. They are a threat because they know many things that the other unexperienced tributes don't know how to do. The career tributes know how to kill you with anything and the tributes have to watch out for them when the games comes.


4. What does Katniss do to get the Gamemakers' attention?
To get the Gamemakers' attention Katniss shot an arrow at the pig which had an apple in his mouth. She was very fustrated that they would just ignore her and not pay attention. she kjust got mad and got o the point that she had to do that because its had to do with life or death.
