Hunger Games - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 (p. 114-130)
Katniss is prepared for her television interview by Effie, Haymitch and Cinna. The strategy for Katniss is essentially to be her self and we sense the respect Katniss has for Cinna. After a tantrum in her room, the red headed avox girl comes to clean the mess and we sense an understanding between the two of them of the traumatic event from their past.

Katniss’ interview goes well and she answers the questions honestly, captivating the crowd while wearing a fire themed dress. During his interview, Peeta finally lets his feeling for Katniss be known.

  2. 1 Katniss thinks Peeta is a backstabber for having private training sessions.

    2 Effie is trying to get Katniss to walk in high heels.

    3 The interview is to tell everyone about your life. Katniss is afraid she is too hostile and wont be popular after the interview.

    4 The red head isnt mad she understands Katniss would get her tongue cut off if she tried to help.

    5 A dress that lights up like the sun.

    6 The clothing doesnt matter when it comes to age at the capitol, you just have to look fancy.

    7 It goes great she twirled around and really caught the crowds attention.

    8 Peeta has a crush on Katniss.
