There was silence at the reaping first of all because Katniss volunteered as tribute for her little sister......no one has volunteered as tribute in a while at District 12. Also there was kind of some relief that Prim (little sister) didnt go because there were a good number of people that knew her, they also knew Katniss but being that Prim was younger and knew more people.

They all don't want to be picked, since they all know they won't win the games. They wait silently, hoping not to be picked. Although some people in other districts want to be picked, they don't because District 12 hasn't won the games in a very long time.
