An Avox is someone who has committed a crime. They cut off Avoxs' tongues.Katniss knows that Avox because she remembers the time her and Gale were hunting in the woods and the avox girl and boy were shouting for help they killed the Boy but took the girl in a hovercraft.

2. What prevents tributes from jumping off the roof? Why do you think this is in place?

There is a force field around the roof of the training center. If someone tries to jump off, the force field will sting them back onto the roof. I think there is a force field because some tributes might want to leave or try to get out of there so they won't be in the Hunger Games. They would also want to go home with there families.

I think Peeta is interested in Katniss. He might be jealous and wants to know if Katniss and Gale are more than  friends. He might also be confused with their own relationship, are they friends or more than
  friends.
