He has a history of being energetic and funny, and he sees things in a good light. Because of this, he is well-liked back home. He will likely use this to try and appeal to sponsors. His friends were torn when he was reaped but are fully supportive of him. While he obviously realizes the dangers of the Games, he refuses to accept a death sentence just yet; he sees the many possibilities ahead of him.
