  1. 1. Murder... BLOODY, DIRTY MURDER!

    2. He was probably playing games all along. Ya know, "Into the Darkness" by Kittie would make a perfect song for this book... Just saying...

    3. Catty and the girly-girl from D2.

    4. He's bruised and scabbed up and looks pretty beat up. He's kept alive because he's looked upon as a benefit.

    5. She finally sleeps...

    6. Keep working the sappy love image...


    -Mr. BuNgLe believes it's time for some KITTIE! WOO!!!

  2. 1- That Katniss treated with disrespect, and will be percevied as an outcast.

    2- Ktniss realize about Peeta’s actions so far in the Games are just to help and bennifit her instead of himself.

    3- The only others to benefit from the Games’ rule change are the two tributes from district 2.

    4- What are Peeta’s injuries are the cracker jack wounds,dehydration, and the knife cut wounds. Peeta has kept himself alive by hiding in the mud so nobody can see him.

    5- Katniss has the burn medecine and the first aid kit and the leaves for the cracker jacker stings.

    6- 1. To show Peeya that he cares about him.
    2. To help him with his fever.

  3. 1 Her popularity would decrease and people would hate her.

    2 Peeta has never been a threat to her and is probably the reason she is still alive.

    3 Cato and the girl from District 2.

    4 Peeta has the tracker jacker stings and a knife cut wound from Cato. Peeta has hid in the ground as camoflage so no one could find him and finish him off.

    5 Katniss gives Peeta fever medicine from the first aid kit.

    6 To make them continue loving eachother.
