The Hunger Games Chapter 1

1. Describe District 12.
In chapter one District 12 is described with fences around it, which is electrified supposedly 24 hours a day but it's actually electrified 3 hours a day. District 12's nicknamed is the Seam, in the other side of the Seam has woods. People hunt out the woods to provide food for themselves. In the woods there are many types of animals that can hurt them and probably even kill them.

2. What illegal activity does Katniss participate in doing? Why does she need to do this?
The illegal and inappropriate activity Katniss does is going hunting, people are not allowed to hunt but yet she goes with Gale. She hunts to provide food for hers and Gale's Family.

3. Describe the relationship between Gale and Katniss. Do you have a relationship like this in your own life? Explain.
The relationship between Katniss and Gale seems pretty awkward to me, it seems like they're husband and wife, because Gale mentions something about Katniss and himself running away but they can't for their kids. I simply don't much understand their relationship. No I do not have a relationship like that and even if I did, everything would be different, with that's said I mean there would be times where I would try to change it our relationship because it confuses me.

4. How is Madge different from Katniss ad Gale?
Madge is distinctive to Katniss and Gale because she is rich and is the daughter of the mayor. She does not much have a group of friends she hangs around with, she has some similarities to Katniss as well.

5. What is the reaping? Do you think this practice is fair? Explain.
This reaping is when a young female and male from the twelve districts go verses each other and they get take to a land either desert or a cold place. They get left there for weeks and the last young people standing win and get gifts, food etc. They do not have to provide necessity on their own. The practice involves dieing or being one of the last one/ones standing. I do not find this practice fair, in fact I find it very pointless and meaningless!! I do not know what I would do if California was like that.

6. Who is selected at the reaping?
Primrose Everdeen is selected at the reaping, I was surprised, I never thought she would be selected!
