Let The Hunger Games Begin Part 2

The next day she is whisked off to get her hair and make up done by her styling team. The head stylist is Cinna and she somewhat found a friend in him because he seems to care a little bit about her.As she makes her way towards the dome of the Hunger Games, Peeta comes up beside her and takes her hand. They have to make it seem like they are lovers and that they are going in together. This will make the Capitol go crazy !!! They are then separated and are propelled further in to the dome which is controlled by the gamemaker. he controls whether it rains, hail,snows, if their is and explosion to make sure some one dies everyday so the people of the capitol will be entertained . The tributes are finally let loose and run to claim one on the bags scattered are the front which each contain something valuable to surviving the games She goes to crab one but so is another boy. He is taken out by another tribute and Katniss finds herself covered blood and two pair of evil eyes staring at her ready to kill.She makes a run further into the Forest in search of a water source.She stops to check her bag in hope of something valuable.

Let The Hunger Games Begin!!!!!

The games are right around the corner and Katniss must physical and mentally prepare herself for the most horrifying and challenging things she will ever face in her life.She has gone through a week of training to somewhat prepare her for the games. Two things I think she has an advantage at is he archer skills and her made up romance with Peeta.The people of the Capitol are just falling in love with the idea that a couple is going into the games and will fight till the end to save each other.She has the Capitol on her side I guess you could say. She Katniss"the girl on fire".But that does not change the fact that she has a huge target on her back because she scored the highest during the training week. Even Peeta is a threat because he did quiet well for a boy who decorate cakes and works in a bakery.Tomorrows the big day and she is so stressed about everything. For ones she lets go of all her emotions and cries for half the night.After a while she goes on to the roof where she finds Peeta thinking. They talk for awhile and soon realize that only one person is coming out alive and even though they wished each other good luck,they both were secretly hoping they wouldn't have to kill each other.They finally go back to their rooms to get some sleep and be awake for tomorrow.

More Hunger Games

As You know Katniss and Peeta are the tributes of district twelve. They will first go to they local justice building where they will get to say goodbye to their family and friends. It must be so overwhelming and slightly disturbing to know that you may never see your family again to go participate in something rather stupid. Afterwards, they are put on a train with their Haymitch an Effie Trinket. Haymitch is a former winner of the games and now is Katniss and Peeta's life line in the games, He determines when and if  they get food , medicine , and etc, during the game. Katniss has no faith in him because he is just a drunk bitter fool who will be nothing more of a obstacle in Katniss's way to survival. Her and Peeta try to form some sort of a " relationship" because they will most likely have to work together to survive .That is of course  until the have to kill each other. At least they get to eat all the food they want and get some sorts of training before they are thrown into the dog pit. Katniss is and expert when it comes to a bow and arrow.Peeta on the other hand is kind  of coming in with absolutely nothing she thought. For a week the get to go to the training center in the capitol to learn survival techniques and also to scout out their opponents. A lot of the other tributes are coming in with so sort of training with knives and  all kinds of dangerous looking objects. At the end of the week they are rated on a scale of one through twelve . Most of the tributes scores are average,but Katniss scores a perfect twelve and that just gives the other tributes more reason to try to kill her. Next week I will Post on the first couple of days in the Hunger Games.What do you think will happen next?

The Hunger Games

This week is will start posting my second book, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.This book is set in the future where in the middle of North America lies the nation of Panem.Their are twelve districts which are controlled by the capitol.The capital dictates the districts forcing them to send in one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to fight in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games forces the kids to fight to the death on live TV. I think this is such aterrible thing to happen.The main character is Katniss Everdeen , a sixteen year old girl who lives in district twelve.Distrct twelve is respondsible for providing coal for the Capitol. Each district provides a resource to the capitol and are forced to work for little or no money for hours a day.Her father was killed in a coal mining accident and she has beenproviding for her family since she was twelve.Her mother had fallen into a depressiion and over the years she's gotten alot better. Katniss's relatioship with her mom haswas destroyed along with her father.She and her best friend Gale go hunting beyond the perimeter's of the district(their not suppose to!!!) and sell or trade what is left to the locals.IT is the time of the year for another Hunger Games. The disctrict meets up at the town square for the reaping.When Effie Trinket picks the slip from the glass ball it is not Ktniss name.It is her little sister Prim.Katniss is so full of shock that she cant even speak.Out of nowhere she jumps up volonteer to take her spot as a tribute and as the rule state she can. She will not let her sister go in defenseless to be slaughtered.Katniss a few things about survival that it is second nature.The boy chosen as a trbute is Peeta Mellark.He is the son of the local baker. Her and Peeta have only had on run in and that wa when he gave her bread to feed her family.Now she is being taken away from her home, being forced to fight for her life for someone else's entertainment.
