Explain three reasons why Haymitch was well-suited to survive the Hunger Games.
Sample Answer:
Haymitch was well-suited for the Hunger Games for several reasons. First, growing up in poverty in the Seam taught him how to survive with very little food and comfort, which helped him endure hunger and hardship in the arena. Second, after his father died, Haymitch had to take responsibility for his family, which developed his ability to plan ahead and make smart decisions under pressure. Third, Haymitch is intelligent and observant, allowing him to analyze situations carefully rather than acting on emotion. These survival skills, combined with his ability to think strategically, made him a strong match for the Games.
What is propaganda and Explain how the Capitol uses the Hunger Games as propaganda to control the districts.
Sample Answer: Propaganda is when messages are used to persuade people by appealing to emotions like fear or pride, instead of giving all the facts.
The Capitol uses the Hunger Games as propaganda by presenting them as exciting entertainment rather than an act of cruelty. Through televised broadcasts, interviews, and celebrations, the Capitol distracts viewers from the violence and suffering of the tributes. This makes the Capitol appear powerful and glamorous while making rebellion seem hopeless. By turning fear into entertainment, the Capitol controls how people think and feel, reinforcing obedience across Panem.
