How does Katniss save her sister from the reaping?

Katniss saves Prim from the reaping by volunteering to go into the arena instead of her little sister.Really, Katniss saves Prim from the Hunger Games, not the reaping. When Prim's name was called to come onto the stage so she would be announced as a tribute, Katniss was pulled back into memories. Katniss couldn't stand the thought of Prim going into the Hunger Games, she loved her so much. So Katniss volunteered to take Prim's place, and Prim was saved.


How many reaping tickets does Katniss have each year?

In The Hunger Games, Katniss's name is entered in the reaping 20 times. Her name never gets chosen in the first book, her sister's Prim name does. Katniss then volunteers as tribute to compete in place of Prim.

What happens in Chapter 2 of the Hunger Games?

Katniss Everdeen goes hunting with her friend Gale and they talk about the "Reaping" to happen later that day. When she goes home she fixes dinner for her family and they go to the Reaping. Primrose Everdeen - Katniss's little sister - is chosen to enter The Hunger Games but so she won't get killed Katniss takes her place. The other person is chosen and it is Peeta Mellark, the boy who gave her bread after her father died (in a mine explosion many years earlier) and Katniss gets worried about killing him.
