Chapter 23& 24, FOXFACE- If you don't like it get off my blog :)

I thought that Foxface’s death was pretty important. She hadn’t been a very big part of the book but I always wondered how she was surviving. Suzanne Collins should write a book in the perspective of her. It would be cool. Then again it would be cool if she wrote books in the perspective of all of the tributes. It would be so AWESOME!!!! But back to Foxface. I heard something on the internet the other day, that somebody had a theory that she committed suicide! I thought that was pretty interesting! That maybe she was smart enough to tell the berries were poisonous and just decided that she didn’t want to be in the games anymore and just killed herself. I think her goal in the first place was just to survive and not kill anybody, let them kill each other and be the only one left. Also it was an important part in the book because she one less tribute to come between Katniss and Peeta going home.

24,

I really don't think that while Peeta is in the games Foxfaces death will be a big deal to him. I think that he will just worry about Katniss's and his own safety. I do think though that he and Katniss will both have nightmares from the games.

they've seen to many horrifying things to just ignore the fact that they have killed people. I think that is the Capitol's goal. To make the victors so traumatized about what happend that they will just fall apart. That's about what happend to Haymitch. Along with other reasons... That I can't talk about without giving things away. OH! I finished Mockingjay! It was SOOOOOO awesome!!! I don't care what anyone else says! I loved it! I didn't think that it was a bad way to end the series. But back to Peeta being traumatized. I know for a fact that the two of them both get traumatized by what they see in the arena. I think that Peeta will feel bad about killing Foxface in the end. Very sad. :( I have to say, Foxface was one of my favorite characters. I kind of wanted her to win. It would have been pretty cool to have a book in her perspective... :)

Chapter 25

MUTATIONS!!!

I have to say that while reading this I was so shocked about the use of mutations. They were really something. I thought that it was so cool that they made the mutations like the tributes. That was pretty cruel. It was like one of those Disney movies when the animals become like the humans in a way... But this was a little more nightmarish. I really think mutations are cool. But I have a question. Who ever thought of making such creepy things???? They should be shot or something! But the Capitol would never execute something that would make them power over the Districts! Thats one of the things I hate about the Capitol. Very few of them care about human life as it is. They have lost all of their humane senses. You know somebody is twisted when they enjoy watching little kids kill each other on live television. Thats just terrible. And don't forget mean! I am 13 and I consider myself to be pretty mature and old but when you read a book life this you feel like just a little kid! I mean Prim is just a year younger than us and I considered her to be a baby in my head! Then I realized how young we all truly are. And to have to face those mutations? That would be so hellish. :( I think that the Capitol is just a stupid colony of people who have been warped out of their own humanity. :(

Chapter 26

Suicide attempt..

Katniss and Peeta's suicide attempt was pretty smart. I can tell you right now that suicide does not go over very well with the Capitol. Just saying. The Capitol must have a winner! I guess they would rather have two winners than have none. I think though that Katniss and Peeta's suicide attempt was an act of love and also rebellion. I know Katniss loves Peeta because why else would she rather die in the arena with Peeta than just kill him and go home to her family and Prim. I think that she has spent so much time pretending she likes him that she finally realizes that she actually does. I think the suicide attempt was a great idea. It got them both home didn't it? I thought it was a really good way to end the book. And I have to ask you, Do you think that this will have a really big impact in Catching Fire and Mockingjay? Leave your answer in the comment section below. (Ray William Johnson reference) Haha It's funny because no one else got the joke....

Chapter 27

You're in trouble....

The Capitol thinks that Katniss's and Peeta's suicide attempt was an act of rebellion. The only thing I have to say to that is... DON'T CHANGE THE RULES AND THEN CHANGE THEM BACK!!! STAR CROSSED LOVERS ARE NOT GOING TO KILL EACH OTHER!!! GRRRRRR >:(

*Clears throat because that was awkward* I'm glad I got that off my chest. I hate the Capitol. If I was Katniss I would so start a rebellion. Because thats what I do. :) No not really. Well not about being Katniss and starting a rebellion. I so would have done that. Rawr. <---- Awesome randomness >:3 If I was Katniss also I would be so worried about the Capitol coming after my family and Gale. I would be extremely worried about my own safety too.

Chapter 15

Hello Everybody. Long time no blog. :) I missed you! :3. Lately I have just been on YouTube watching The Huger Games stuff. Assessing whether or not Whitney is a better Katniss than Megan. For the record I think she is... But speaking of Katniss, She sure ate a lot when she was in the Capitol didn't she? I cant say that I blame her. After nearly starving to death was on her agenda every day, one expects her to gorge herself with all of this great food! I'm just saying that I think

it was a good thing to do to stock up on food before the games. It gave her more energy. If she hadn't done that, if she was still eating what very little she was getting from hunting in district 12 she wouldn't have been so strong. She would have been fairly weak and she wouldn't be so healthy. I think that it will also be a bad thing as well. She has gotten so used to eating all of this rich food at the Capitol that I think it will be harder to adjust to rabbits and crackers. I'm just saying. But she seems to be adjusting quite nicely. It's a really good thing that she has hunted all her life an knows the ways of the woods.

<----- Thats Whitney and Megan. Whitney is the one with the gun. It's a fake gun! Whitney is a better Katniss :3 I combined two pictures for this so here is the links for both.

Chapter 16

I Like Foxface. She reminds me of well.... me. I think she is something of a stalker- a follower. Thats the me part. Anyone who knows me knows that I am far from being a leader and... I admit I am a little bit of a stalker. :/ Another reason I like Foxface is because she looks a lot like my friend Tessa. She's not really my friend but she's an idol of mine and I like to refer to her as my friend. Deal with it. She has the best red hair. No offense Levi! She recently dyed it though. It's now like a red with streaks of yellow and orange. I don't really like it. She is a little bit of a stalker too. She used to stalk this guy named Frezned.... Wait WHAT? What the heck am I talking about? I honestly have no idea. Can we get back on topic please? Thanks. I think Foxface follows people around because she dosen't have the skills to survive in the woods so she gets other peoples skills from them.- I finished the book, and saw the movie twice. Fot those of you who haven't seen the movie or haven't finished the book yet... I won't say what happens. Heehee. :) Any way back to Foxface. While sneaking around she also gets to see how the tributes get their food and where they keep it. She could steal things anytime. And, she can hear the other tributes plans to kill people and their strategies. :) So I think that it's a good thing to be sneaking around like that. :) The Picture is of Tessa. Tessa Picture

TRACKERS!!!!

I have to say I understand why the Capitol inserts trackers in the tributes. I think they do it not only so they can see where you are and drive you together but to make sure you are alive. How else do you think that When Glimmer died they knew the exact moment she died? I think that the trackers are hooked up to the cannon so the exact moment that a tribute dies the cannon goes off and sends the hovercraft to come get them. Another reason which I mentioned before is that they need to know where you are, if there is a way to get out they want to make sure that you don't escape. Plus they also need to know where you are at all times so they can drive you together. I don't think that they would keep the trackers in but if they did I think that I know the tributes would find some way to get them out.

Chapter 11

Mwahahahaha!!!!! >:) The Cornucopia! I really think that is a really brutal way to start the games. You just throw out all of the tributes to fight in a bloodthirsty winner takes all competition in a field where mines could blow your legs off. Thats a great way to start the games! #Sarcasm. I don't get how they stop the mines from exploding when you step off. I mean how is there mines that will blow your legs off one second and they cant blow your legs off the next? does anyone know? My strategy would probably be that I would wait a few seconds until everyone else had gone into the woods or died and then I would pick up whatever was left of the supplies. Then after I got some supplies I would hide in the Cornucopia. I soooo would have hidden in it. >:) If I needed supplies I would just get out, wave at the crowd, run into the woods shoot a rabbit and come back. I would totally live in it. Every time a person would walk by I would shoot then with arrows or knives or whatever. The best part would be that nobody but the people watching would know that I was in the Cornucopia. It would be totally inconspicuous. I could get caught I guess.. if I had to go out and hunt or something and another tribute was out where I was hunting.... But lets not think about the downsides, okay?

Chapter 6

1. The technology in The Capitol is extremely superior to the technology in District 12. In District 12 the Technology reminds me of an abandoned home. Everything works but its in horrible condition. At the Capitol its like all futuristic and such. Seriously? I want a shower that you can adjust the water heat to what ever level you want! I want a fan that blows me dry when I step out of said shower! I want a "robot" that will do my hair in the morning! Actually I think the hair one would be the gaget I would use the most. Apart from my IPod and Laptop of course, because you all know that I live on the internet. The technology differs quite a bit between the two places.

District 12- a place where most people don't even have showers- just buckets they fill with water and heat up

The Capitol- a place where the showers wash you and blow you dry. There is hardly a difference, right! #sarcastic.

Jeez! Don't these people at the Capitol care at all about the wellness of their people?????? Oh wait! They don't care at all! >:( If someone dies of hunger don't they say it was influenza or whatever???? :/ Maybe if they cared more, the people of the Capitol wouldn't have to cover like that! Jeez! Whats this world coming to?

2. Okay so the Avox girl fascinated me. Maybe it's because I love horror and I have seen Dead Silence. Dead Silence My friends, is a horror movie where this woman named Mary Shaw is accused of killing a little boy and then they cut her tongue out and kill her. She has a vengeance against this family and comes back to life and controls her ventriloquist puppets. She kills this guy named Jamie's wife and Jamie goes into a rage and tries to find Shaw. While he's trying to find her Mary starts "silencing" all of these people by cutting out their tongues. Wow! I got really off topic really fast! Yeah its a lot more complicated then I explained it to be. Just go watch the movie! It's awesome!!!!!! Back to the Avox girl. I think that she was running from the Capitol either because they stole something or they were running away from the hunger games. Those are the two biggest reasons I think she was running. At least they let her live! But cutting out her tongue was a little cruel. :P

Chapter 7

3. I think that Haymitch wanted Peeta and Katniss to not to show their strength because when you train it is basically when you get to see what competitors can do. If you go into the games and people don't think that you are a strong competitor the will wait until the end to make a move on you. On page 41 Katniss says that the strategy of acting weak worked for Johanna Mason and she lasted until the end. I think Haymitch wanted the other tributes to go in with low expectations on their ability so they wouldn't go into full attack mode early.

Picture
4. I honestly think that the other contestants think that Katniss is full of herself and thinks that she honestly a bit full of herself. Except for the little girl who was watching her and Peeta train. Isn't her name Rue?? I think so. I think Rue is fascinated by Katniss in a weird sort of way. ..... Um yeah. When Rue is watching her and Peeta train she is looking t Katniss more like she is trying to figure out a mystery rather than just observing her skills. I wonder why she is acting like that... What do you think?????? I really don't know why she would she would observe her like that unless she thought Katniss looked familiar. Maybe they have some special connection.... Okay I have to say this. This vacation I was incredibly bored and tried to find Youtubers that resembled some of the tributes. .... I know. I just happen to be an insane person that has access to a computer...... So yeah...

CHAPTER 8

5. Oh I love this question! I love Katniss's relationship between both Peeta and Gale. :) I think it has the classic twist of a love triangle. Then again this book is not about love. I think that it is a little strange that the way both relationships turn out. In the beginning of Katniss's and Gale's relationship Gale thought Katniss was stealing. I don't know about you but if I thought someone was stealing my stuff I would probably not want that person as my friend. Although, after Gale accuses Katniss of stealing, she kinds of jokes around with him when he asks to see her bow. This was on Page 111. I think it's a very odd way to start a friendship. And then on the other hand she has Peeta. Peeta had given her the bread and stopped her from starving. I think that if I was in that situation I would want to be friends with the bread boy. It would have been a great friendship starter. But Katniss now hates Peeta although he saved her life. I guess she doesn't really hate him, she just doesn't want to get too close to him and then have to kill him. That would stink. I know I would not want to kill a friend of mine. Even a friend that is not very close to me. I would just have this terrible conscience telling me that I was a horrible person.

6. Awe. I think Peeta made a very bad choice. I think that he should have stayed with Katniss just to know her battle strategy. Also it was a very bad idea to make Katniss think that he wanted to know battle strategies to defeat her. You all know that, that is the conclusion she jumped to. It was a bad idea to get on Katniss's bad side. I honestly think that he asked to be coached separately because he wanted his own strategies in the games that Katniss didn't know about. Another thing was I thought that Peeta and Haymitch would talk about how he would introduce his little crush on Katniss. I also think that it was a good thing to coach them separately. I honestly think Katniss needs to go solo and have no attachment to anyone and just fight.

I think the Gamemakers were so fascinated with Katniss's temper because they need some tributes that are "fiery". No pun intended. Actually there was a pun intended. Sorry. Hehe. I think that they gave her such a high score because they think she will be a good person to entertain them in the games.

CHAPTER 9

7. OMG! I loved this chapter! Peeta made me laugh so hard! I mean it's hard enough to tell a person that you like them in real life, but to say it in front of the entire country of Panem..... WOW. I think Katniss will react and like almost kill Peeta. I think she will push him down and just scream at him. Sounds like her. If I was Katniss I would just sit there on a couch and be like...... Wow. That was kind of expected. I wouldn't kill him over telling the truth. But wait! How does Katniss know that he is telling the truth??? I hate to say this about Peeta but does anyone else think that he might be lying? When I first read chapter 9 I was like, No! Peeta is not telling the truth! He just wants Katniss to have a soft spot for him so she won't kill him in the games. That was my first reaction. Now I'm not so sure. It doesn't seem like something Peeta would do. Does it? I don't know.....

8. HAHAHA!!!! I can just imagine Gale's face as he sees what Peeta has to say. I think he would be disgusted at Peeta's confession and think that he was just using the weaknesses in the crowd. By that I mean, you all heard the way the crowd just melted when Peeta confessed his love for Katniss. I think Gale thought that he was just appealing to the crowd. I thought that Gale would start hating Peeta because of the way he just gushed about his long love for Katniss. I really think that the anger that Gale feels toward Peeta will be directed to jealousy. I really think that he won't be jealous because he saw Katniss's face when he said that. I think he will laugh because he knows how Katniss is and the way she hates drama. I think he knows after so many years with Katniss that she has no emotional attachment to anyone but her family and him.

AWESOMENESS!!!!

Okay the other day I was searching the internet and I found a video about the hunger games. Its more a music video. I love it SOOOO much!!!! It's by one of my favorite youtubers. Winterspringpro. I cant exactly feature the video on my blog but it would be really, REALLY awesome if you went to go check out the video at home. I cant get the URL on here because it it blocked but just type in Hunger Games Britney Spears and it should be the first result. Go check it out!!!!!!!

"He pulls a white package from his jacket pocket and holds it out to me. I open it and find cookies. These are a luxury we can never afford." <------ COOKIES!!!!!!!!!! Okay I think first of all that the Peeta's dad gave Katniss the cookies because he feels bad for her and has the feeling that the cookies cold be her last meal. They very well could be! From the way they describe the games, the contestants

Also I think Peeta's dad gave her the cookies because he actually cares for her and considers her family. Another hypothesis I made was that maybe Peeta had this crush on Katniss for many years at a time and his father finally figured it out and wants to be nice to her because he knows his son cares for her. I defiantly think that the baker will keep his promise to care for Prim because he thinks that her family has been through enough. Also Katniss has been a supplier of meat for their family for a while and I think that the tables will turn and the baker will be a supplier of needed supplies.

1. Okay first of all WHAT????????? Poor Katniss. The situation is just plain and simply peril. Should she let her sister die? Or should she basically commit suicide by going into the games? Decisions decisions. I think that she did the right thing though. If I had a younger sibling that was in the same situation.... I would rather die that let my younger sibling die. I do care that way about my little cousin John. If he was in a death wish situation- I would probably step in and take control rather than see him die. My brother Forrest- would probably do the same for me- even though he doesn't show his affection toward me much I can tell the instinct to protect me is there. I feel that as an older sister if you know that your little sibling is going to die you should step forward....... DUH! Also Katniss feels more like a mother to Primrose than probably any other person feels to their little sister. Katniss feels so super strong about the statement "Older siblings need to take care of and have responsibility for their younger siblings." I think she feels so strongly about it

Reaping

1. The term reaping is used throughout the first chapter. I think its an appropriate term to use because the definition • figurative receive (a reward or benefit) as a consequence of one's own or other people's actions : except for the fact that the hunger games are (for the contestants) used as a punishment and for the people watching its a treat because their kids don’t have to go. The history of Panem is people starving and having to fight for their food. Suffering is a big part of this book in the town of Panem.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1324999/ This is a link to a Breaking Dawn Website

1. The title of the book is The Hunger Games. The title The Hunger Games suggests to me that people will be fighting for their lives in grueling, hardship games that will test their ways of living, survival and how much they want their lives to go on. When I heard the “games” part it reminded me of Saw, for obvious reasons. After hearing glowing reviews of this book from people that normally refuse to read, it is obvious that this book is an action packed thriller. As for the title giving me information, as I said before it reminded me of Saw which might not be a good thing. Then again not everything has to be like Saw and the “games” could be totally opposite.

2. The author, Suzanne Collins seems to be quite famous as I have heard of her from several people that recommend the book. I have not read anything by her but I am quite looking forward to it. When I first heard of Collins, I was probably intrigued because Collins is my brothers last name. I am also interested in her because I have fallen in love with books that have been written by bestselling authors

3. The picture on the front suggests to me that the people in the book will be fighting for their lives because of the arrow for obvious reasons. The gold ring on the front makes be think that maybe certain love between characters will come up sometime in the book. The bold all caps print somehow makes me think of seriousness and loudness because thats what all caps generally means. The dark cover evokes a mood in me that reminds me of death and darkness that will probably be a huge factor of the book. link for picture

What I am looking forward to during vacation? I don't have anything really to look forward to. I suppose christmas gifts? I love watching videos on Youtube too. They entertain me. ;) Looking forward to my new laptop! ;) Hope you all have a good Christmas!
