The Hunger Games Chapter 11

Chapter 11
1. What is the Cornucopia?
The Cornucopia is a giant, golden horn shaped like a cone with a curved tail. In each year's Hunger Games, the tributes enter the arena in a circle formation around the Cornucopia. Its mouth is at least 20 feet high, and is filled with items that could help the tributes survive in the Games, such as weapons, water, food, and medicine.
2. How does Katniss make it into the woods? What weapons does she choose? Why?
To get into the woods, first Katniss runs towards the Cornucopia and gets a sheet of plastic and a loaf of bread. Then, she reaches for a birght orange backpack, but a boy from District 9 reaches for the pack at the same time. The boy coughs and blood comes out. Katniss sees that a girl from District 2 stabbed the boy. The girl chases Katniss into the woods, and she puts the backpack up to her head to protect it, just when the girl throws the knive at her. It get stuck in the pack and the girl stopd and leaves. Katniss is left with the Knife as her weapon. 
3. Why is Katniss angry at the tribute who starts the fire? Who is hunting in the pack?
Katniss is angry at the tribute that started the fire because maknig a fire will just lure people over to the place where they started the fire! It's like waving a flag at them and saying "Come and get me!", or something. The poeple hunting in the pack are the remaining Career tributes from District's 1, 2, and 4. They are 2 boys and 3 girls. Peeta is also hunting in the pack.
