Katniss's dress was a long jeweled dress with many colors; representing fire. Her skin was covered with  gold powder. It was beautiful.  Katniss's first training lesson went with Effie. she taught her how to walk in heels, her posture, and to smile alot. It was pretty difficult for her walking in heels because of her long dress. She didnt like smiling much cause by the end of all of that her 'smiling muscles' were all sore. Her next training session was with Haymitch. It went pretty bad for them. He couldnt find the right persona for her to be or act. It was so hard becaouse Katniss couldnt even pretend to act like a certain person. It got fustrating so Haymitch just told her to act humble. Her affect on the audience went really good. she was honest and was herself. They loved her.
