On page 13 of The Hunger Games, Katniss talks about the reaping including the number of times a person name is entered each year from ages 12 -18. Katniss also describes how one can opt to add their name more times for tesserae. Go back to page 13 and reread the second paragraph on the page. After rereading the paragraph fill out the chart to show how many times Katnisss name was entered into the reaping for ages 12-16.
