Give at least two specific examples of how Katniss acted differently in the arena (than she normally would) because of the cameras. In your own life, describe where in some way that you might have done this.
1. At the very start, Katniss fought for supplies and tried to steal the backpack from the boy. She didn't want to make it look like she was pitying the other contestants. I would've fought for supplies as if my life relied on it as well as she did. 2. Katniss also ran away from other people instead of fighting. Normally, if this was hunting, she would be the hunter, not the prey. I'd run as well because running has a higher chance of you surviving than you dying. -Richard
Katniss acted differently in the arena with the cameras because she wanted people to be her sponsor. If she had non the games would be that much harder. I might have done this while trying out for a sport so if I look like I am good then they might think i'm good at it. Where as at gym i don't need to as much.
1.Katniss acted differently because like Richard she was used to being the hunter, not the prey. 2. She got more fearful because she almost knew the end was near. I can not think of a time when I did some thing like it.
1. Katniss acted differently in the arena because she wanted to make herself look like a tough and intelectual person so that sponsers would notice her. 2. For example when I meet somebody important I usually act very polite, however when I'm with my friends I can goof off.
1. Katniss usually shies away from injuries that involve people bleeding or close to dying but in the arena katniss wants to look "tough" and not scared at these sorts of things. a example was when Rue got hurt from a spear and she gushing blood, but katniss stayed.
2. Instead of being "easy" prey for the enemy she became the hunter when she realized that she would get more sponcers if she seemed like she was a hunter instead of the prey
1. When Katniss was stuck in the bush, she was glad that the cameras couldn't get a clear view of her because she was chewing her nails off. Also, as Isabel said, Katniss acted tougher than she probably would have before.
2. When I meet a stranger or somebody very important or imposing, I act really nice while secretly wishing I could run away.
I agree with Richard on how if my life was at stake, then of course I would be fighting for a supply pack. Also, I agree on how Katniss acts differently because she's used to being the hunter and not the prey. I agree with Daniel on how Katniss acted differently because she wanted more sponsors.
1. Kattniss kind of teased that career tribute when she was in the tree. I don't think that she would have been brave enough to do that if her life wasn't at stake. 2. She tried to act more tough for the audience. I act different when I am around a lot of people.
1) I would say that Katniss was acting different for the cameras by hiding her weaknesses to keep and get sponsors. Katniss also plays the game strategically and looks for anything that could look like a trap to make her look like a hard target and smart.
2) I act differently when I am with friends rather than older people.
1. I agree with Jessie ans Isabel becuase she does want to look tought because then some people will be frightened that are week. Also, she will get moe sponsers this way. 2. I agree with Isabel again, because she is not the prey but the hunter. This will be a very big advantage like when she is hungry she can shoot a arrow or something, while other who can't hunt.
This remindes me of when one day i met someone new and she wsn't really nice, then still i had to be nice remembering that treat people the way you want to be treated.
i agree with richard to when he said katniss usally would be the hunter insted when i firt walked in future shop i didnt now there were cameras so then i touched the tv scereen then the empolye said dont touch the tv
1. She acted differently because like what Quinn said she was beong used as a hunter not prey 2. She got scared because she knew it was the end of the line. This one time when I was at the raptor game I got on the jumbo Tron and I acted differently then I would have at my house
1. Katniss acted differently in the arena because she wanted to make herself look tough and brave in the cameras. I agree with Chris when he said that Katniss made herself look tough so that sponsors would notice her.
2. I act more responsible and mature when I meet older people and when I am with my friends, it's the total opposite.
1. katniss was looking for sponors, so she needed to act tougher than normal. 2. katniss is normally the hunter, not the hunted. I always act differently around older people, than I do with my friends and family.
1. I agree with Richard she use to be the preyer but now shes the prey. 2. She is acting different because I think she knows that she will also have to kill her friends in order to win (live). I would actually try to survive and wait for someone else to kill them than me.

Just like Daniel, sometimes I make it look like I'm better at things than I actually am.

I agree with richard on how he would fight for supplies if his life depended on it
