The End

Katniss and Peeta where taken back to the capitol in an air craft, but they didn’t trust it a hundred percent so they just wanted to get to the capitol as quick as they could. When they arrived it was a huge thing everybody was cheering and everybody loved them. After that, Katniss and Haimitch talked about the capitol disliking what they did and that they wouldn’t let this go as easy. The capitol was mad because they more or less obligated them too safe them both. Then they had one of those interviews where they were asked questions and they just answered. But in this case every answer they gave wasn’t real because they didn’t meant what they said. Later on, they gave some of the poisonous berries to Claudius Templesmith. They had a dinner with Haimitch and Effie who where happy to see them and proud of them for winning. Then when they where at the train to go back home Katniss tells Peeta that they should just forget about everything but Peeta doesn’t want to.

In the second to last chapter of the book I found this, “The hovercraft materializes overhead and two ladders drop, only there’s no way I’m letting go of Peeta. I keep one arm around him as I help him up, and we each place a foot on the first rung of the ladder.” When I read it, I said in my last blog entry I admire how they never let go of each other even when they are supposed to be safe. I love how they care for each other and how the author can make you think so much from a small text and make you infer thing about it like, are they still pretending to be in love for the public or are they really in love. Will they be a couple outside of the games and stuff like that, that just comes to your mind.

“Out of the corner of my eye, I see Peeta extend his hand. I look at him, unsure. “One more time? For the audience?” he says. His voice isn’t angry. It’s hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me.” When I read this all my question I had made to myself about them too being a couple where answered. They never loved each other; they did everything for the audience. This was a turning point for me because I actually thought that they felt something for one another and that they had stop faking it.

Well, this book was awesome!! It had everything a good book needs; love, conflict, resolution, suspense, action, appropriate language and the ability to make you want to read ahead. These are just some of the amazing things this book has. Suzanne Collins, the author of the book has a brilliant mind in my opinion, because it made me like to read a book for the first time, and if I had to re-read this book again I will surely do it.

The Games

There have been many deaths and there aren’t much of them left. Katniss and Rue, who is the girl who helped her when she had does wasp effects and they have now formed an alliance against the other. The plan they made was to explode all their supplies. But the outcome of it caused three deaths, the guy who has in care of the supplies, a guy who appeared out of the woods and Rue… She was trapped on a net and when she tried to scape with Katniss the guy from the woods theirs a spear at her and killed her. Later on an announcement says that there can be two victors but they have to be from the same district. Katniss goes looking for Peeta and founds him in some kind of camouflage near the river and he was heart. They go to a cave where now Katniss takes care of Peeta. Then they are looking for food when the Managers of the game place some wild animals in the forest and make Katniss and Peeta go to the storage room which is in a big deserted place where they fight Cato and win. After that the rule that there could be two winners was revoked, so Katniss took some poisonous berries and was going to share them with Peeta so they both die. The Managers of the game needed a winner so they let them both win.

While reading the book something that got in my mind was when Peeta said, “Oh, I don’t care if you see me. You’re just like the rest of my family.” When Peeta said these I got that him and Katniss had build an actual bond between them two, and maybe the love that they had faked at the beginning might had change over the games and become something real. Also, I see that Peeta wants Katniss to know how much she means to him.

Another quote that I put thought to while reading was when they revoked the rule of having two victors and Katniss and Peeta are about to eat the berries. “One. Maybe I’m wrong. Two. Maybe they don’t care if we both die. Three. It’s too late to change my mind. I lift my hand up to my mouth, taking one last look at the world. The berries have just passed my lips when the trumpets began to blare. Claudius Templesmith shouts the to stop.” This made me thing because what if they didn’t care and they both die or what if he screamed them to stop to late? This as in many other situations showed how smart and creative that Katniss is, how bright she is and how much courage she has to put her live in danger in order to save two.

This part of the book has been my favorite so far because it had love between Katniss and Peeta, the guy from Rue’s district saved Katniss, Cato died, Katniss and Peeta where willing to killed themselves to mess with the managers of the game and most specially I liked it because of the message that I received that was, life might get complicated and people will want you to fail, but as long as you are determine for what you want and you fight for it, you will get it.

Preparation

In this part of the book Katniss and all of the other participants of the districts are in a training room where they can find any type of weapons, except for guns and stuff, so they can show the viewers how good they are at each thing. After a last diner that Katniss, Peeta, Haimitch and Effie attend to just the four of them, they have to go to some tubes that will lead them to the arena. Once they where on the metal circles they waited for sixty seconds, after that everybody ran to the storage room that had all the weapons they could of want. Katniss and Peeta had agreed to run directly to the forest but Katniss take a back pack and then when to the woods. Every night, the show images in the sky of the people who have died and overtime someone dies the sound of a cannon fires. An alliance has rise and Peeta is in it. The wanted to kill Katniss but she was smarter. She manages to get rid of them, but Cato the leader of the alliance clearly hates Katniss and wants her out. The participants can receive air packages from their sponsors. Well at last, Rue took care of Katniss fro two days and now they are going together to make the alliance loose.

While I was reading, I found something interesting, “My eyes follow the line of her finger up into the foliage above me. It’s a wasp nest.” What happened here, was that Rue was at another tree next to Katniss and she has able to see the wasp nest and tell Katniss to drop it on top of the alliance that was waiting for her at the feet of the tree. When I read this I realized that Rue liked Katniss and was willing to help her. I only have one question about this, and its: How did Rue knew Katniss was there? Did she follow her?

The last paragraph of chapter fifteen, Katniss says, “No, they are not. That’s the problem, I agree. And for the fist time, I have a plan. A plan that isn’t motivated by the flight and evasion. An offensive plan. I think we’re going to have to fix that, Rue.” When Katniss said this I understood that she was tired of always acting in defensive and she wanted to act in offensive. This tells that she has a plan that will affect the others, specially the alliance and that she is ready to win The Hunger Games.

This part of the book had something familiar with the first and it is that them both are awesome. This part had a lot of action and friendship. I liked the part where the capitol made Katniss get to where the alliance was and that she was able to run away from them because it made Katniss kill one of them when she cut the wasp nest. This book has been really good so far and I hope its stays this way, and I hope Rue and Katniss stay together and beat everybody else.
