(SPOILER ALERT - Do not continue to read this if you have not already read Chapter 2 of The Hunger Games)
Chapter 1 was left on a cliffhanger...Katniss' beloved sister is selected as the female tribute for the Hunger Games (what are the odds, eh?). I enjoy the plot so far, but it seems predictable in a sense that Collins says "___ will never happen," which translates to "Hell yeah, you betcha it's gonna happen." I'm hoping for more unexpected twists and turns.
Questions that I have after Chapter 2 (SPOILER ALERT):
1) Will we find out more about Haymitch Abernathy, the drunk who has previously won the Hunger Games as a District 12 tribute?
2) Who was the other District 12 tribute that won the Hunger Games in the past?
3) More is revealed about Katniss' mother. It seems that she may have become depressed after the death of her husband and neglected her children. Katniss then took over her mother's role and began to look after the family at the age of 11. How would Katniss and Prim's life be different if they were placed in the "community home"? Is a "community home" similar to a foster home?
4) Will we ever find out if Peeta Mellark burned the bread accidentally or on purpose?
5) What's the symbolism behind the dandelion? Dandelions spread their seeds everywhere and survive. Is it a symbol of longevity and survival? They're also weeds and steal water from other nearby plants. Is a symbol of surviving by stealing other people's resources?
6) Peeta Mellark's mother sent him to school with a black eye. Are there no mandated reporters in District 12?
Predictions:
1) Katniss will end up killing Peeta Mellark...brutally.
2) There will be some kind of flashback of Katniss, her father, and the dandelion.
