Chapter 2

1. How does Katniss save her sister from the reaping? 

Katniss saves her sister from the reaping by taking her place. Primrose didn't want Katniss to be in the reaping, but Katniss said she had to do that for living. Mostly people don't think it how will a 12 year old will survive without eating until person dies of hunger. Katniss knew her sister Prim wasn't going to be able to survive so Katniss insisted to take over her place.

2. What is the boy tribute selected? How did he save Katniss life when she was 11?

The boy who was selected at the reaping was Petta Melark. Petta Melark saved Katniss life when one day Katniss was trying to exchange old baby clothes for money. No one wanted the old clothes, so while she was walking they fell. She didn't wanted to disappoint her mom and sister that she couldn't sell the clothes. That evening she was walking through the baker's store. Katniss was looking in the trash bins when the bakers wife came out and yelled at her. When the baker's wife left Petta robbed two burned breads from the side and gave it to Katniss.

3. What kind of person do you think Peeta is? What evidence from the book led you to come to this conclusion?  

I think Petta is a nice and helpful person because she gave food to Katniss. The next day when Katniss went to school she saw that Petta had a black eye. When Katniss saw Petta with a black eye she got scared that maybe her parents caught her giving bread to Katniss and she got in trouble. Katniss said to herself that she will never forget what Petta did to help her family.

4. Why does seeing the dandelion after her father's death give Katniss hope?

When Katniss saw the dandelion after her fathers death that reminded her to not be a baby cry. That flower told Katniss to be a strong girl and help her family. Katniss knew just by looking at the dandelion that her she had the power to help and make her dad proud.
