Catching Fire!!

Spoiler Alert, Spoiler Alert (Don't read this post if your reading or are going to read Catching Fire. It's OKAY to read this post if you've finished this book or have gotten past chapter 12.)

( Catching Fire is the sequel to the Hunger Games.)

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is about a girl named Katniss, who was a victor of the seventy-forth hunger games. Both Katniss and Peeta won that year, but there was only supposed to be one winner. Since Katniss caused people to want to rebel against the capitol, she is in deep trouble. She has to show Panem (North America) that she is desperately in love with Peeta.

Since Peeta proposed to Katniss, she had a lot of photo shoots in in wedding dresses. One night, on TV,they show all of Katniss's dresses, and then, announced the "special" thing for the Quarter Quell. Katniss must fight for her life once again, but instead she's trying to save Peeta's.

I think that this is an awesome book and that everyone should read it. Even thought I've only gotten about half way through the book, I can still blog about a million things. So I'm going to start at the beginning with President Snow.

President Snow came to Katniss's house before the very cruel Victory Tour. He told Katniss that some districts were trying to rebel because of her and her act with the berries. She needs to prove on this tour that she was lost in their love (Katniss and Peeta). I despise President Snow. Well, that's about all to say for that subject so lets move on.

The Victory Tour! The first stop is District 11. That's the district Rue and Thresh came from. (Rue was Katniss's alli for the time being until she got killed by a guy from District 1. Thresh, saved Katniss's life life.) So, during the speeches that they wrote, Peeta added some thing that wasn't on his written one. This was that Rue's and Thresh's family would get one months worth of their winnings every year. Then, Katniss thanked Rue's and Thresh's family. That was a touching Part. So, this is getting kinda boring so lets keep moving.

At the Capitol, there is a big party and the new head gamemaker is Plutarch Heavensbee. He shows Katniss a watch with a Mockingjay. Now why would he do that?

So, one day, when Gale and Katniss were out in the woods they got some game. Gale was going to go trade it all. When he went to Old Cray's (the head peacekeeper) house to give him a wild turkey, guess who shows up? A new head peacekeeper. Peeta made up a story of why he had it and was punished with public lashes. When Katniss sees that Gale is being whipped and she goes to try to save him. Some how, Gale's punishment gets to be less whips and some people bring him to Katniss's mom so she can fix him up. Did I mention that now Katniss has a big whip line across one of her cheeks. Some people bring Gale to Katniss's mom so she can fix him up. Wow, that was a lot to take in.

One day, Katniss decides to go back into the forest. She goes to the lake and in the little house there is smoke coming out of the chimney. Then she hears something. She finds a lady with a peacekeepers uniform on and a gun. Then the lady holds out a cracker with a mockingjay on it. She also hears something else a few moments after. Katniss tells the lady to come around and she does. There names are Twill and Bonnie. Bonnie limps bacause she twisted her ankle. Twill and Bonnie tell Katniss that they have run away from District 8. Twill stole the uniforms from the factory and it took a long time to get them. A shoe here, some pants there. They're headed for District 13 because they find things suspicious from what they see on TV. They show the same clip every time and they know this because the wing of a mockingjay always shows up on the upper right corner. Katniss doesn't believe them but goes with the flow. Oh, and by the way Katniss leaves all the food she has with Twill and Bonnie. Ahhhh, so suspenseful!

When Katniss heads back, and gets to the fence she hears a buzzing noise kinda like the tracker jackers. The electric fence is on and she can't take chances going under. Katniss Goes from tree to tree and then finally gets to a tree that she can get over the fence with. Katniss slowly inches her way down and jumps into a snow bank. YIKES! Katniss is hurt now.

Katniss trudges home and when she gets home she finds peacekeepers at her house. They want to Know where she has been and whats in her bag. Katniss says, "Easier to ask were I haven't been." So she tell them that she hasn't been talking to the Goat Man about getting Prims goat pregnant because she gave Katniss inaccurate information. Katniss dumps out the bag for the peacekeepers to find candy and white clothe. The peacekeepers tell Katniss that the electric fence will be on 247 and that she should pass it on to Gale. Ha, Katniss sure fooled the peacekeepers.

Well, that's all for today. Hope you enjoyed the blog and that it wasn't to boring for ya!
