Q: Describe the relationships of Katniss with Gale, Prim, and with her mother.
A: Katniss has interesting relationships with all three of these characters. Gale and Katniss are childhood friends, having both grown up in District 12. Katniss isn't entirely certain about her feelings for Gale, but becomes even more confused about her feelings when Peeta gets thrown into the mix. Katniss seems to love Prim the most. Katniss acts as a motherly figure towards Prim, and would do anything to keep her out of danger. This is evidenced by the fact that Katniss volunteered to enter the games for her sister. Katniss and her mother have a complicated relationship. Katniss needs to provide for her mother and Prim, as her father died in a mining accident. Mrs. Everdeen, abandoned Prim and Katniss once her husband passed, leaving them starved. Katniss holds this grudge throughout the series, as her mother could have been working to earn money for food.

Explain.
A: I personally find the whole thought of the Hunger Games sickening and inhumane. Children are forced into an arena and have to murder each other for the viewers’ entertainment. The gamemakers, control the environment and can cause two tributes from the same district to fight each other. If these two people were friends, only one of the tributes would walk away alive, but they would have to live with the guilt of killing their friend. Another part of the games that I find cruel, is that society developed to the point that children killing children was not only acceptable, but viewed as entertainment.
Q: Reality TV has been a part of the entertainment world since the early days of television (with shows such as “Candid Camera” and the “Miss America Pageant”), but in the 21st century there has been a tremendous growth of competitive shows and survival shows. Discuss this phenomenon with respect to THE HUNGER
