Movies Quiz: The Hunger Games | 10 Questions

Answer: Caesar

Caesar Flickerman and Seneca had a discussion about the Hunger Games and what they meant. Seneca, who was in his third year as gamekeeper, believed that in addition to being a reminder of the past, it helped to bring the twelve districts of Panem closer together.
Later in the movie, Caesar and Seneca had another discussion about the current group of tributes. Seneca mentioned that everyone was in store for something special, because there was a volunteer (Katniss Everdeen) in one of the outlying districts (District 12).
Still later, when Caesar's interview with the tributes began, the announcer of his show introduced the interviewer as Caesar Flickerman.

Answer: her sister's

During the reaping, Effie (a resident of the Capitol who came to District 12 to select the names of the two tributes) drew out Primrose's name, even though her name was only put into the drawing once. Katniss believed that Primrose (her sister) was too young and volunteered herself as tribute. According to Effie, this was the first volunteer from District 12.

Answer: train

Effie, Haymitch, and the two tributes of District 12, Katniss and Peeta, traveled to the Capitol by a train. There was not much transportation in the districts of Panem, but the Capitol was able to send one of its trains. Katniss and Peeta were given their own separate compartments.

The Capitol was a long way away, so even with a quick form of transportation like the train, it still took the better part of a day. During this time, they were given lots of food to eat. Haymitch also gave advice to Katniss and Peeta on how to survive.

The idea was to get sponsors, and the way to do that was to get people to like them. Katniss was initially upset that Haymitch seemed so reluctant to give out information.

Answer: Haymitch

While on the train to the Capitol, Peeta mentioned to Katniss that the two of them should get help from Haymitch (their mentor), since he won one of the previous Hunger Games (it wasn't specified which one). Haymitch was also said to be the only winner from District 12 to still be alive.

It was Haymitch who convinced Seneca to change the rules of the Hunger Games so that two people would win, assuming they came from the same district.

Answer: showers

Each of the twenty-four tributes gave an interview with Caesar. When Peeta had his interview, Caesar asked him how he found the Capitol. Peeta responded that it was different. When Caesar asked to give an example, Peeta said that the showers were different. Peeta then asked Caesar if he (Peeta) smelled like roses.

He even asked Caesar to sniff him. Then, Peeta sniffed Caesar and said that Caesar smelled better. Caesar replied that it was because he lived at the Capitol longer.

Answer: Clove

When the Hunger Games began, Katniss decided to take a backpack. This was against Haymitch's wishes that she get away from the Cornucopia, since most tributes who tried to grab something ended up dead. A fellow tribute tried to kill Katniss, but Clove (the female tribute from District 2) stabbed him with a knife. Clove then turned her attention to Katniss; however, Katniss was able to block the knife with the backpack. Katniss then ran away from the Cornucopia.

Answer: Peeta

The careers initially allowed Peeta to join them. The main reason behind this was because Peeta and Katniss were presented to the people of Panem as star-crossed lovers, which meant that he would be able to lead the careers to Katniss. Once Katniss died, there would be no use of having an alliance with Peeta.

Their main dislike towards Katniss most likely came from the fact that the judges awarded Katniss an eleven (out of twelve) during training, a score that was higher than the scores for any of the four careers.

Answer: Glimmer

Katniss climbed up a tree to escape the careers. Although they tried to kill her, they were unsuccessful. They decided to wait until Katniss came down from the tree, and that was when they planned to kill her. However, while all the careers were sleeping, Katniss once again met Rue who pointed to tracker jackers. Rue motioned to Katniss to cut the branch with the tracker jackers.

This caused the nest to drop and the tracker jackers to get mad enough to start stinging everyone. Glimmer, the female tribute from District 1, got stung and eventually died. Katniss also got stung but she was able to survive, thanks to the help of Rue.

Answer: Her head was bashed into a wall.

An announcement had been made that there were supplies that would help the tributes, which could be found at the Cornucopia. Clove and Katniss happened to meet each other there. Clove originally had the upper hand, but Thresh pulled Clove off Katniss and bashed her head into the wall of the Cornucopia in revenge for her killing Rue, Thresh's teammate from District 11 (although it was actually another career, Marvel, who actually did the killing). Thresh left, sparing Katniss's life since she helped Rue.

Answer: Careers were usually of a young age.

Haymitch explained that a career came from either District 1 or 2. They trained at an academy, usually until they were 18. Then, they volunteered themselves as tributes. Thanks to the training they had, most victors were careers; however, there were some exceptions.

However, one problem most careers had was that they were arrogant. It was this problem that usually ended up causing a career to die. Despite all of this, they did not receive any special treatment during the Hunger Games.
