Chapter Twenty - Seven (27)

WOW! I don't think I could have sat there and watched the highlights of the games. I would have screwed up the interview also. I think that if that would have been me I think we both would have been killed. I hate how Katniss breaks Peeta's heart at the end but Peeta wants to make sure they are safe so they pretend for the camera one more time. Are the games actually over and they go on living separate lives? Well read Catching Fire and find out.

Chapter Twenty - Six (26)

THE GAMES HAVE ENDED! Or have they? Well Peeta and Katniss are the winners but they really made the Capitol upset. The Capitol hates it when they are outsmarted at their own games. Peeta is rushed off to the hospital once they leave the games. Katniss and Haymitch meet up. Haymitch tells Katniss that she made the Capitol really mad cause of the berries. She is suppose to try and convince then that she did it out of love. Can she do it?

Chapter Twenty - Five (25)

I am glad that the games are over. Cato was killed by Katniss after being ripped apart by the Mutations. Katniss thinks it is the tributes that died in the game. Claudius says that there can only be ONE winner. Peeta pulls off his bandage and Katniss wants him to shoot her with the arrow. Which one is going to be the winner? Well they both are. Katniss and Peeta threaten to kill themselves with nightlock berries and before they eat them Claudius says that they are both winners.

Chapter Twenty - Four (24)

I hate how the Game makers took all the water and are pushing them toward the lake. No one will survive without water. if the Game makers think they could they probably will turn up the heat till the people are dehydrated. I wonder what Cato is running from. If it is not dehydration that will kill you it is whatever Cato is running from.

Chapter Twenty - Three (23)

I think that Foxface was really clever to steal food from the Careers and get away. I like how Peeta threw his fork down and licked his plate knowing that Effie would hate it. I hate that Peeta killed Foxface. He was just grabbing up berries not knowing that they were nightlock. If they were just regular berries she would have been fine. I think that she would have won if it wouldn't have been for the berries.

Chapter Twenty - Two (22)

I was really shocked when Peeta explains to Katniss the moment when he fell in love with her. I loved that he remembered everything about her looks that day. I love that Peeta talks about Katniss's parents. I think that if I was Katniss after Peeta shared that moment with me I would have said, "I am the goner now."

Chapter Twenty - One (21)

Like the Gamemakers wanted it. There was fighting going on at the Cornucopia. Foxface was clever to get there first and get out alive. Thresh saved Katniss's life and I was really shocked. She was there for Rue and I think that mattered to Thresh. I truly thought that Katniss was going to get killed. I am glad she didn't. Peeta is a lucky person to have her as a team member.

Chapter Twenty (20)

Like I said earlier I would do anything to keep the people that I keep close to my heart safe and living. I would have done the exact thing that Katniss did just so Peeta can get the medication. I would hate to trick them but in Peeta's condition what more could she have done. I think that the Cornucopia is a trap. That way all but Peeta will gather there and hopefully have a fight till death. Even if everyone dies there Peeta is still alive to be crowned winner. I think Katniss planned this one more then she lets on. I like how she shared the story of the goat. That is a sweet story to share with him.

Chapter Nineteen (19)

I am shocked on how well Peeta has hidden himself in the mud. They were so close to each other but neither one of them knew it. Peeta had hidden himself in the mud. I think that the mud is what kept him alive. I am glad that they found each other. I hated how Haymitch played the star-crossed lovers for all he could get. I actually smiled when Katniss kissed Peeta. I actually remembered my first kiss when I read that. Under those circumstances I would have done the exact thing. They got a pot of food for their acting. I would do anything to keep the guy I like alive.

Chapter 18

I don't think that I could have sang a song to my friend who died. I think that Katniss was brave to stay there until Rue died. I liked how she decorated Rue with the flowers. I think that was really sweet. If I was Katniss I don't think I could have gone on much longer losing all that she loved. She has no clue where Peeta is and Rue is dead and she has no clue how Gale, Prim, or her mother is. The next thing that I would do is try and find Peeta since his picture was not in the sky so far. That means he is alive. Katniss realizes that after Claudius Templesmith's announcement.

Chapter 17

I can't believe it. Katniss made it away from the blast alive. It was close but she made it. I hate that she made it just in enough time to find Rue caught in a net that will kill her. I remember how bad I felt when I wasn't there when my friend past away about a year ago. She died of multi-organ failure. She was in the mature age but there was no need for her to pass away. I still can remember the call. Her daughter called me in tears and said, "Moms dead and I need you. Can you come?" I went to her and comforted her. I went to the funeral and supported the family. I can still see how her grandson collapsed in tears at the funeral and no one knew what to do but me. There is not much someone can do or say in those situations but the thing I learned that helped is when they know no matter what you will always be there for them. I think no matter what I will always remember that call since it changed my whole life. From a happy life and plans for a wedding to a sad and depressing one being lonely. My fiancée left me. My mom got re-married . My step-dad was diagnosed with skin cancer. My sister had a little girl who has a brain abnormality. The sadness seems to never end. I can only imagine how hard it was for Katniss to witness Rue dying and the last thing she says is Katniss.

Chapter 16

I don't think that I could stomach being so close to the enemy's camp site. I also would hate not knowing who is dead and who isn't when the cannon fires. I think that if Peeta and me were suppose to be a couple I would hate not knowing if he was dead or not. Blowing up the Career's supplies was the smartest idea. It must have hurt getting blasted away by the force of the explosion. Does she die? Let us continue reading.

Chapter 15

Hey again! I am wondering why Rue trusted Kaniss? I wonder if she saw how Katniss offered to take her sister's place in the Games. Maybe it was a gut feeling but she trusted Katniss and was willing to lay next to her and catch some sleep. Could you go to sleep next to someone you don't know? I think that I could if I sensed that they were a good person. The tracker venom made it hard for Katniss for awhile. I know when I had a bad fever and couldn't tell dreams from real life how hard it was for me. Well hopefully they find a way to make the Careers hungry.

Chapter 14

I can't believe that Rue had helped Katniss to get away from the Careers. I am glad she got away.  I was shocked at the end of this chapter when Peeta came crashing through the weeds and saves Katniss? Do he truly love her or did he do that for the cameras? Well I'm going to continue reading.

Chapter 13

Well I had to run for my life before I burned to death. I managed to get away from the wall of flames long enough to blog. I remember when I personally got burnt on the convection oven at work. Burns suck really bad. They are hot and then they blister and then the skin is really sensitive. I'm glad I never had to run from a fire like Katniss did. Katniss was able to find a tree to try and catch some rest. She got up there and heard the Careers coming. She was shocked to see Rue in the same tree as her. Rue really helped out. Well I got to run now since they are after me again.

Chapter 12

Well since I'm dehydrated I decided that I would stop and blog. It has been a long day trying to find water. I don't know if I could have walked any longer. I am glad that I caught Haymitch's signal and didn't get a gift even though I was thirsty. I know that since I found mud I am really happy. I love mud. I also caught a rabbit today thanks to the traps I set that Gale taught me on how to set. I am glad that I have a friend like Gale who teaches me things that I can use in the game to survive. Can't wait to get home. Sorry but I got to go and run from the wall of fire that is coming my way.

Chapter 11

The games have begun! What would you have done? Would you have gone after the bow and arrow or just grabbed the backpack and things and get out of there? I personally would have not looked at Peeta and made a run for the bow and arrow. I also probably would have died that day but if Peeta loved me that much he would have fought people off me and we would have been a team since the first day. I am glad that Katniss got the backpack but I would have tried to get more things and then get out of there. I was extremely shocked that Peeta teamed up with the Careers. I know that if I would have been Katniss I would have cried. The guy that is madly in love with me supposedly is teaming up with the bad guys to try and win. I would think exactly what Katniss did and was wondering why. I'm going to try and survive and figure out what his plan is while playing the game.

Chapter 10

Hey everyone. I was wondering what you would have done if a guy would confess his love to you on television. I have always dreamed that a guy would scream his love to me from the top of a really tall building. I had a guy one day carve my name and his in a tree that about half of the school passes and then during lunch have a teacher get every one's attention and he told everyone. I love when someone is that public. I would hate it though when I know that I would have to kill him during the games and that our love would not last. I would have punched Peeta if I was Katniss. I can't believe that any moment the games will begin. I guess I will have to deal with my love life later since the games are about to begin. See you guys in the arena.

Identifying with the characters/setting

As I am reading The Hunger Games I am starting to realize that I match one of the characters really well. Katniss and me have a lot in common. I have a little sister and I personally would take anyone in my family's place and go to the game for them. I love the woods as much as she does. Even though I am not as good with a bow and arrow but if I had to choose a weapon that is what I would pick. I also have a few male friends that would love to go hiking or just hang out in the woods with me like Katniss has Gale. She has a harder life then me but I have to say being poor is something we have in common. She has less food to eat then me but I have experienced when there was hardly any food. Nowadays I have almost everything I want in food but I have had times where my mother didn't eat just so my sister and I could eat. I like the part where she is with Haymitch is trying to get her to be someone she isn't. I have had people try to do that to me and I personally did not like it. I like how she is herself for the interview. She is a hard person to connect with but I can see where she comes from. I personally don't open to everyone but the people I don open up to are the people that I trust with my life like she does with Gale. All Gale has to do is turn her in but he wouldn't since she is a friend. If she was a real person we would get along really well and probably be unable to be detached from each other. I also can relate to the setting since it is almost the exact spot where I love so I know how bad the money is around here. I hope that you have found someone in the story that you connect with. Enjoy reading and let me know who you connect with.

Chapter Nine

How all wants to punch Haymitch for being rude to Katniss? I just wanted to punch him when he was name calling. I love how Cinna is there for Katniss when she really needs him. I wonder how she is going to act in the interview. I am glad that she was almost completely honest. I hate that Peeta surprised Katniss with his interview. If I would have been in her shoes I would have fallen off my chair. I know that there was something but I thought that she liked him not he likes her. I hate how Peeta just blurts out he he loves her on national television. I also know that one of them is going to win so there is no chance for their love. I wonder when he started liking her. I think it was the night of the bread but what do you think?

Chapter Eight

I am thinking exactly like Katniss when she worries on what is going to happen to her family. I am glad that nothing is going to happen to them. I am also surprised that she got an eleven. But I guess the Game makers loved the apple thing. I know that what Peeta did is weird but he probably doesn't want to feel belittled by a girl. I loved how she shared how her and Gale met. I can remember how every one of my friends and I met. I'm going to continue reading and see what she is going to do about Peeta.

Chapter Seven

How comes I have a hard time putting the book down to blog about it? Oh wait I know it is really good and I would understand if you are not reading my blogs because you can't put the book down too. I would love to have been in the Training Center just to touch everything in there. I like how Peeta tells Haymitch that she is really good with a bow and arrow. I personally would have learned everything that I could in the Training Center so that when it comes to the real game I could be the best and survive. I like how Katniss shots an arrow at the Game makers and hits the apple out of the pigs mouth. I personally would have shot and arrow and stabbed it into the table next to their plate or something. I wonder what they are going to do about her shooting " at them".

Chapter Six

I am starting to want to be in the games. The food is amazing and have you seen the view from the roof. I would love to stand there and look off. I can't believe that Katniss actually knows someone that works there. The Avox girl. Katniss is certain that she knows the girl from somewhere. Would you cut someone's tongue off if they committed a crime? I think that I would have given prison life or something depending on the crime. Well I'm going to see if Katniss actually apologizes for leaving the girl in the woods.

Chapter Five

I'm starting to wonder exactly how Katniss and Peeta are going to work as twins. Cinna had both dressed and caught on fire. I think that if someone is going to catch my outfit on fire I don't think I could have been calm and wave and capture the crowd. I do know that I would have started screaming by getting waxed. Why didn't the just shave her instead of waxing? I think the outfit that Cinna made was amazing and as long as he doesn't catch it on fire I would love to wear it. I'm going to get off here and continue reading since I want to know how things are going with Peeta and Katniss.

Chapter Four

Hey you guys! I have just finished chapter four and I don't have much to say. I did want to say that when Haymitch fell in his own mess I would have been to upset to help him up and to his room. I loved how Peets volunteered to help him and tuck him into bed. I hate that Katniss thinks that he is doing that as a plot for something. I hate also how Haymitch can't stay sober. I am going to continue reading to see if he ever is sober.

Chapter Three

I just finished chapter three. I don't know if I could sit there without many tears when I have only minutes to say goodbye, to the ones I love, for maybe the last time. After you say goodbye to your family then you have to go in front of cameras. If you thought that was hard imagine eating dinner right after that. I personally would have not ate as much as Katniss but now thinking about it, I would have ate some since you never know if that is going to be your last meal or not. If I had to go to the Hunger games I don't think I would have been able to hold in my emotions.Then right after dinner realizing that you life line to the one's you love is drunk. I don't think I could handle that. I personally would have got upset and I don't think I would have let him live his drunkenness down. Well let's continue reading to see of Katniss is like me or is she better?

Chapter Two

I was shocked on what Katniss did. I would have done the same if I had a sister that was twelve and had to fight till the death. Who all thought that it was going to Gale's name to be pulled out? I thought so but when they pulled out Peeta Mellark's name I found relief. Would you be able to fight the person who saved you and your family from death or would you give in and let him win? I would have to read on to figure it out so that is exactly what I am going to do.

Part 1 "The Tributes" Chapter One

Hey I just finished chapter one. I can't believe who's name was picked for the girls. It was extremely shocking to me since her name was only entered once. Katniss has her name in there twenty times. I just can't believe that out of thousands the one slip was pulled. Will she be able to survive? Prim is twelve. Her name was entered once and her name was picked. What if you were twelve and had to go and survive alone and fight till death? Could you leave your family and fight till death so your family can eat for a full year without having to worry about it? Let's continue reading to find out if she can be strong and win or if her family will be notified that she happen not to make it.
