chapter 1-3

In chapter 1 Katniss describes her family who has 3 other people in the faimly. Those people consist of her sister Prim and her mom, her dad who has died in a coal mining accident. She tells us where she lives in Panem that has 12 districts and a capitol. She also tells  us that there's this holiday as the capitol calls it called reaping day. This day is when they pick the tributes, one boy and one girl from each district to compete in The Hunger Games. In this chapter they are picking the t competitor. In chapter 1 its reaping day and they are holding the ceremony for district 12, they always pick the ladies' slip first,  and Katniss has 24 slips. She has a friend named Gale who has 42, and her sister has 1 in out if the thousands. The odds of picking her sister, Prim whom everyone in the district knows and loves to be killed in the games. That thought was running through Katniss' brain and she knew she had to protect her sister so she volunteered to take her place. The boy  is Peeta Mellark, and his father is the baker. Then it talks about the rest of the ceremony and how Katniss gives her family instructions on how to feed themselves because Katniss provides food for her whole faimly so they wont have her to feed them anymore.

What would happen to Katniss' faimmly if they lose her, or how would they suply food?

  1. I think Katniss's family would have a hard time getting food and coping if they lost Katniss. But also I think that they would force themselves to go on with their lives knowing thats what Katniss would want for them.
