Hunger Games Chapter 3 comprehension questions

1.Who comes to say good bye to Katniss?list.
Katniss' mother, 

Her little sister Prim, 
Her best friend Gale, 
Madge 
Peeta's father. 


2.What does madge give to Katniss as a gift? what is its significance?
Madge gives Katniss her circular gold pin she was wearing earlier on her dress. She tells her that they only let you wear one thing from their district in the arena and  she would be glad if she wore it. Its significance is considered to be a token from thier district. 
Katniss then realizes its a small bird in flight. Madge makes her promise to wear it and katniss agrees.

3.What instructions does Katniss leave for her mom?
Katniss explains to her mother that Prim is not to take any tesserae at all. They have to carful selling Prims goat milk& cheese. They have to take care of the apothecary they own. Gale will get her herbs and game in trades such as milk or medicine. Lastly she tells her 'she cant leave again' (like she did when their father died), to stay focused in taking care of Prim. Katniss cant afford her mother leaving Prim on her own. She has to fight through everything even if there is a possibilty she wont come back. 



  4.What act of kindness does Peeta's dad show for Katniss?How do you think this man might have influenced his son?When Peeta's father showed up to say goodbye to Katniss, she was surprised. She didnt quite know him. She knew he was a baker and father of Peeta Mallark, the boy tribute chosen. When he walked in he sat down, in silence and pulled out a white paper package from his pocket. Katniss opens it and see's it is cookies. Cookies are luxury she cant afford so it was a very generous thing for him to do.He also assures her that he'll whatch out for Prim; making sure she always has something to eat. I think this man might have influenced his son to be kind and caring for other. 

5.What advice does Gale give Katniss about surviving the hunger games?

Gale tells Katniss she must get her hands on a bow, and that could be her best chance. If there aren't any around, to make one. He reminds her that she's the best hunter he knows and she'll do fine. He knows she's able to kill. Katniss argued she could kill, just not people. Gale advises her, there's no difference. To try. 

Important quotes;

2 " You can't leave Prim on her own. Theres no me now to keep you both alive. It doesnt matter what happens. Whatever you see on the screen. You have to promise me you'll fight through it!" pg. 35
3. " But you have to take care, too. Your so fast and Brave. Maybe you can winn." 
4. "His voice was that beautiful, high and clear and so filled with life it made you want to laugh and cry at the same time"
