The Hunger Games Chapter 6

Chapter6
1. What is an avox? How does Katniss know the avox?
An Avox is a person who commited a crime and was punished by having their tounge cut off. They can't talk, and they are the Capitol's slaves. Katniss knows the Avox because one day when she was hunting in the woods with Gale, they saw a girl and a boy running in the woods, as if they were escaping from something. Then they spotted a hovercraft, which was chasing the boy and girl. The hovercraft launched an arrow at the boy, and he died right there. The girl screamed and tried to ask Katniss for help, but she just stood there with Gale and did nothing. The hovercraf then took the girl away.
2. What prevents tributes from jumping off the roof? Why do you think this is in place?
The thing that prevented the tributes from jumping off the roof of the bulding was a forcefield. If you decide you want to jump off, it will just zap you back onto the roof. I think it is there because the Capitol knows that the tributes don't want to go to the Hunger Games, so they try to commit suicide, but they're not going to let them off that easy. That's the last thing the Capitol wants to happen, tributes missing.
3. What reasons would Peeta have for worrying about Gale?Maybe Peete likes Katniss. He might feel like he wont ever have a chance with Katniss because she's known Gale for so long and Peeta for only a while. He wants to know if they are more than just bestfriends. He might also be confused about their own relationship, if they're just friends or more than that. He jsut wants to find out the truth about Katniss and Gale's relationship.
