Meeting#2 Summarizer Chapter 6-9

   Katniss and Peeta begin to train for the upcoming Hunger Games at the training center (representing District 12). They are told of the citizens who rebel against the Capitol. The citizens who rebel are punished and get their tongues cut off, these specific people are called Avox. So they agree to follow along with The Hunger Games, Katniss is confused wheter to believe Peeta is an ally or not. The two don't truly know what the other is thinking, but even before the games, they still have a mutual friendship. In their training, all the representatives from each district show off their skill to the audience and the judges. Some show their true potential, and some hide their potential for thier own safety in the future. Katniss and Peeta do well in the training session causing a lot of attention to the crowd and judges. Katniss also meets a "contestant" from District 11 who's name is Rue. Rue reminds Katniss of her younger sister Prim. And later Peeta requests to Haymitch if he can train separately from Katniss because he has discovered his feelings for her which may cause him to falter in the Games that can ultimately cost him his own life.

  1. You also find that Peeta is skilled in camoflauge, and they pick up a few other skills, such as knot tying and knife throwing as well.
