After Rue is shot and killed katniss covers her in flowers and hinds her wounds. The people of Rues district appreciate it so they send her a loaf of bread. Later an announcment comes on that there is a change in the rules. Two people from the sam district can win instead of just one. This only applies to katniss and peeta and another distric because there are only 6 people left. Katniss begins to look for Peeta so they can form a team. After searching for a while she finds him laying on the ground in camaflage covered in mud and grass. Katniss can see that he is very hurt. She takes all of his clothes off and cleans them in a stream. There are bruises and cuts all over his body. He also has a high fever. They move to a crave where they can rest because Peetas leg was cut almost to the bone and it is infected.

Peeta keeps on asking Katniss for a kiss and when she finally does she recieves a gift from her sponser. Meaning that they like the romance they have going on. Katniss trys to pretend like shes inlove to keep the audience interested.

It comes on the announcements that there will be a banquet for all of the players and there will be things they really need there. Katniss decides she has to go because Peeta will die with out medicine. Peeta wont let her risk her life so she gives him medicine that will make him fall asleep for a day.

At this point i want Katniss to go to the banquet because i want Peeta to stay alive. And more people need to die inorder for her to get closer to winning. I think she will have a problem with a guy named thrash because no one has disturbed him yet.

The careers spot katniss and chase her up a tree. No one can reach her so they decide to wait untill the morning. But while sitting in the tree katniss notices human eyes in the tree next to her. They belong to Prim. Prim points up and Katniss notices a wasp nest. She tries to cut down the tree branch that it is connected to. While it falls down Katniss is stung 3 times but the stings kill two of the carrers and severly hurts the others. Peeta saves Katniss's life when he tells her to run away from the carrers after she goes back to get a bow and arrow left behind.

Later Katniss meets up with Prim and the form an allience. Prim gives her berrys and plants Katniss gives Prim meat. They form a plan on how to ruin the career's food. Prim is suppose to go and light fires to distract them. meanwhile Katniss goes to their food source and finds there are bombs set up. She shoots down a sack of apples which set of the bombs and in turn ruins her hearing and hurts her badly. She later finds Prim shot with an arrow by another boy. Then Katniss shoots him. Prim is now dead and there are 6 players left.

I feel bad that Prim was killed but it was probably for the best. Katniss might of had to kill her anyways which would have been worse. Although she is missing out on Prim's help. Hopefully the careers will start to starve and die off. I just want to know what happens at the end!

Hunger Games pages 44-94

Katniss and Peeta are now on a train on their way to the capitol. The train is very nice and they are feed very well. For the first time katniss takes a hot shower.

There is another ceremony where the players from all of the districts are introduced at the capitol. But before katniss is introduced someone waxes her entire body and she has to stand naked while people judge her. Then a stylist puts her and peeta (other boy from her district) into black unitards with capes and crowns of fire. With their costumes they steal the show from everyone else. Thats good because they need sponsors to survive.

Katniss thinks that peeta is playing a game with her and trying to win her over in order to kill her. So she tries to stay away from him but haymitch says they have to be together at all times and they are often dressed in the same outfits. While eating dinner one night she notices a red headed servant thay she thinks she reconizes. Katniss is told that that girl is a traitor and her tounge was cut off so she cant speak. Later she remembers thay she reconizes the girl from the woods at home. She witness the red head and a boy running away from something. Then the boy was killed and the girl was picked up by something. Katniss regrets not helping her.

I think its weird that she regrets not helping the red head because obviously if she did..she would be dead. Katniss thinks that Peeta wants to kill her or has some sort of a plan but i dont really think he does. Maybe its just her who has a plan. Im thinking that peeta and katniss will end up being the last two and one might kill the other.

Hunger Games pages 1-43

The first character introduced is katniss. She is hunting in another distrct for her family. It is really hard for them to get for because her father died and her mother never got a job.

Katniss also has a younger sister named Prim. She is very small.

There is a thing called a reaping that happens every year. Kids ages twelve through eighteen are entered into a drawling. One boy and one girl is chosen every year to participate in the hunger games. This year Prims name is drawn. However katniss volunteers for her little sister. Now she is on her way to fight for her life while her family and the rest of the districts whatch as entertainment.

This book is very interesting and exciting. I can see why so many people have read it already in the class. I don't really understand the whole district thing. I kind of picture like fenced in yards the way the book describes it. Aparently they are suppose to be in north america...but after it was ruined by a war then rebuilt again. Anyway, this is a really cool story line and it makes me never want to put down the book!
