Chapters 7-11

During chapters 7-11, the tributes finish their training and the Hunger Games begin. Below are the highlights from each chapter.

CHAPTER 7

After discussing their skills with Haymitch, Peeta and Katniss head to group training with the other tributes. After these group training sessions are over, the tributes perform individually and alone in front of the Gamemakers.

CHAPTER 8

In the beginning of the chapter, Katniss appears upset over her performance in front of the Gamemakers.  Many fears run through her mind.  Fortunately, the Gamemakers award her a high score.  While Peeta gets a good score, the score Katniss received was much higher.  Peeta decides that he would like to be coached separately from Katniss.

CHAPTER 9

While Katniss is upset and feels betrayed, she continues on with her training. After spending some time training with Effie, she finishes up the day with Haymitch. Neither training session goes well, and Katniss is left feeling hopeless. Fortunately, Cinna gives Katniss a ray of hope, which eases her stress and prepares her for her interview with Caesar Flickerman.

CHAPTER 10

Katniss is angry with Peeta for what he said in his interview, but everyone else seems to think Peeta's interview responses are only a benefit to Katniss in terms of her getting sponsers. The night before the games, she struggles to sleep. Finally, the day of the Hunger Games has arrived. Before entering the arena, a woman puts a tracker under Katniss's skin in her forearm. Cinna returns the mockingjay pin to Katniss. She is lifted up into the arena as the Games begin.

CHAPTER 11

For one minute, the tributes stand ready to either run, fight, or collect supplies that have been placed on the ground at different distances from them. Katniss remembers the advice she's been given, but the supplies are tempting her to ignore that advice. After collecting a few supplies, she tries to put distance between her and the other tributes. She finds a hiding place and tries to stay hidden for the night.

  1. 4- In Peeta's interview with Ceasar Fliferman, Peeta and ceasar Flikerman talked about the Capitol, and the different between Capitol and District 12.Also Ceasar Flikerman asked Peeta about his life in the Capitol. Other things, Ceasar Flikerman asked Peeta if he has special girlfriend in district 12. Peeta looked worry from that question, but he answered the question. Peeta said he only like one girl from his district. Then ceasar said, probably when you won the game and return to your home she must go with you. After that, Peeta said she can't; because she came with me" He mean Katniss". When katniss heard that on the television she became very angry; because Peeta never tell her about his emotion, also he said he will coached alone. In other hands, Katniss probably worry about her boyfriend Gale.

    In my opinion, Katniss must not be angry from Peeta; because when they like each other, they will help each other to win the game.

  3. 4- Peata's interview with Ceasar Flickerman starts with a lot of fun and laughing. However, it end up with little sadness emotion. Flickerman begin by ask Peata the different between where he come from and here. Peata answer in funy way by say the shower is different. The last question is asked by Flickerman about Peata has girl friend or not. Peata answers by no. Peata adds that he loves a girl so much and is here with him. Katniss gets so angry of that. I think she has the right to be angery. Because she doesn't like Peata at all. Peata love is only in one side. Also, she already in love with Gale. This is why she very angry about him.

    1. Who is the girl who helps Katniss? You said she is dead, but if you are talking about Rue, she is still alive in these chapters. You are not summarizing what we have read in these chapters, but it seems that you are summarizing things that may happen later in the book. Are you watching the movie? If you are watching the movie, you may be submitting the wrong information because the answer to the questions are in the book.

  6. first, They call her name, she know she is in trouble. She choose a bow, string it, and sling the matching quiver of arrows over her shoulder. Then she pick her first target, she shoot again and again until she get the feel of these new weapons. After that, she turn to the Gamemarkers. She pull an arrow from her quiver and send it straight at Gamemarkers' table. the arrow skewers the apple in the pig's mouth and pins it to the wall behind it. Finally, she walk straight toward the exit without being dismissed. She is baffle and feel she can't do anything. If I am in this situation I feel like her and if I can Pull out of the game I will do
