The Hunger Games Chapter 2

1. How does Katniss save her sister from the reaping?
Katniss saves her sister Prim from the reaping by volunteering to be a tribute instead of her. She really does love alot to be able to do that for her sister. That part of the story kind of reminds me of me, because I would do anything for my  baby sister.

2. Who is the boy tribute selected? How did he save Katniss life when she was 11?
The boy that was selected as a tribute was Peeta Mellark, he is the baker's son. Peeta saved Katniss when she was eleven because one day she was so exhausted and she did not have food for her or her family, and Katniss was sitting under a tree on a rainy day and he burned a bread on purpose. His mother punished him. He knew his mother wouldn't sell it so he had to go outside to give the burned bread to the pigs. He checked if the coast was clear and tossed some bread to Katniss. She felt so grateful but she did not thank him.

3. What kind of person do you think Peeta is? What evidence from the book led you to come to this conclusion?
I think Peeta is a considerate person, I think he's considerate because he burned the bread knowing he would get punished by his mother, and gave it to Katniss. Katniss ad her family survived from starvation thanks to Peeta, in another words Katniss owes him one.

4. Why does seeing the dandelion after her father's death give Katniss hope?
The dandelion gives Katniss hope because it brings back memories of when her and her father used to hunt in the woods. They would talk about how they would survive.
