Question #3

• Who was your favourite character?

• I cannot really choose my favourite scene from this film. I like everything about this film. I liked how Katniss volunteered for the Hunger games to save her sister. Also, I like the scene at the ending when Katnniss and Peeta decide to die together than kill one or the other.

Question #4

• What was your favourite scene?

• The scene that I didn't enjoy was the death of the little girl Rue. This scene to me was very emotional. Even though I knew in that scene that Rue was going to die, at the same time I didn't want to believe it.
