__How do you feel about Katniss volunteering to her sister's life?__ -It was very surprising that she did volunteer but if I had a sibling as young as Prim was then I would have volunteered too.
 * KEY QUESTIONS**

__How do you feel about Peeta acting around Katniss during preparation for the hunger games?__ -I feel as if Peeta was being very nice to distract Katniss about how he was going to be during the Games, but Katniss tried to not get attached to him while they were preparing for the games.

__What do you think Peeta confessing his love to Katniss?__ -I knew Haymitch and Peeta had a plan up their sleeve for the whole world to hear at the interviews but I just did not know what. It was so shocking and I was almost as shocked as Peeta was but I knew he wasn't really in love with her.

__Following question: Do you think it was just a strategic distraction to get Katniss off of the Hunger Games?__

__How do you feel about District 12 and the killing of other people in the Hunger Games?__

During this meeting we discussed the characters of the book so far. We talked about each of their behaviors especially the main character Katniss. We focused a lot on Katniss being a good and strong female character so far. She has had to support her family, her mother and her sister ever since her father dies. We discussed her decision about taking the spot for her sister in the Hunger games. The other character we talked about a lot was Peeta. Peeta was the boy who was selected from district 12 to compete in the hunger games. Peeta and Katniss trained together, and had to pretend to like each other. Katniss did not like Peeta and wanted to just stop training together and pretending they were friends. Peeta towards the end of the first part admits his love to Katniss that we feel was just part of his plan to distract Katniss and other people so he could win the hunger games
