3. Who does Cinna tell Katniss to be in the interview? And whom does he tell her to think of
when answering personal questions?

Answers

Answer:

Cinna told Katniss to be herself in the interview.

He also told her to look at him and answer the personal questions as truthfully as she can.

Explanation:

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins shows a dysopian world where the rich pay to see a game involving volunteers from the different districts fight for their lives against each other. The games were then televised for the entertainment of the wealthy people in the Capitol while the poor people from the different districts were pitted against each other.

Cinna is the stylish of Katniss Everdeen, the participant from District 12, alongside Peeta Mallark. Before her appearance in the televised interview with Caesar Flickerman, Cinna told her to "be yourself". This is to make sure that she doesn't feel nervous and feel anxious.

He also told her to think as if she is talking to him and not Caesar. He advised her to "find me, and answer it as honestly as possible" whenever she was asked a personal question.
