H-Games Part Tres

The Hunger Games are as about as fascinating as watching paint dry. Just Kidding this book was incredible. Much has changed since my last post, like a new rule that people from the same district can win together where only one overall could win before. On hearing this news I would do what Katniss ends up doing. She runs around trying to find her fellow district twelve tribute. I would be so nervous looking for my other teammate, but once found they would be a huge necessity and being a team would be so beneficial. Katniss ends up finding Peeta who is severely injured, and has to take much time to help him recover. This time could be used for other things, but they end up spending several days in a cave, that seem much secluded from the games. I think it would be nice to just feel away from the game because it allows your mind to be at ease and relax. Relaxing would be a extremely beneficial because it would allow you to heal both physically but mentally at well. Being in the games nonstop would turn you into an animal. But eventually Peeta has recovered and everyone else passes off except a career tribute from district one. His name is Cato, and he seems as about as ferocious as his name sounds. I wouldnt want to mess with him....just saying....But anyways, there is a dual to get to the Cornucopia because all three tributes are being chased by special mutations made by the sick minded at the capital. All three tributes are on top of the cornucopia and Cato, who is covered in some sort of armor, has Peeta in a head lock. At this point Katniss is about 10 feet away from the both of them, and if she kills Cato, then Peeta will more than likely fall down below where the blood thirsty mutations are. But thanks to a quick move by Peeta Katniss does not end up killing the both of them, what happens is Cato exposes his hand, Katniss sends an arrow into, and Peeta pushes him into the mutations. Its absolutely crazy how things can change in a moments time, but thats what happened. Peeta saved his own life and Katniss capitalized. Cato ends up dying a few days later from a arrow to the head from Katniss to end his suffering. After this, the victors are taken back to the capital, where they are cleaned up, well fed and interviewed a numerous amount of times. I would not want to interview at all, think about is this way, you just spent a few weeks battling with other people around your age. That has to be something that you will never forget as long as you shall live, and after all that you are sent to so many interviews to experience your worst nightmare over, and over again. I would be going insane.

H-Games Part Dos

Thus far in The Hunger Games much has happened! First off the Games have officially begun, and the death toll has already mounted. Katniss who this story is following through out has been listening to her coaches. There directions were to get supplies and get as far away from the cornucopia as possible! Typically when the games begin the cornucopia is a blood bath, with everyone running there to grab weapons/ supplies. In the first day alone there were 11 deaths, leaving only 13 people. After the first day though things slow down. Katniss who has run away from the competition all together, has been camping in trees at night, and traveling during the day to find water. If I was in her shoes, I would be freaking out! I have never had an experience where people have been trying to kill me, so making it 23 would be quite overwhelming. If I was in the Hunger Games I probably would not stand a chance because I personally am not much of a fan of nature, but barely know how to cook and do things around the house, so living in the wilderness would be out of the question! But after few days have passed Katniss has a few encounters against her other tributes, and soon finds out that she is the one everyone is looking for. The career tributes have teamed up and formed an alliance seeking out the weak tributes. Katniss is eventually spotted, and climbs up a tree to shield herself. None of the tributes climb up the tree to the extent that she has and they eventually give up all together, and wait for her to come down. Right now I would be thinking about giving up because I would be so scared and nervous I would practically just shut down. In the instant I was being chased I would not want to be there anymore and would probably be try to join sides. I do not do very well on my own! But Katniss eventually pulls a fast one on the team below her by sending poisonous wasps down below, and ends up killing two of them. This makes them disperse and Katniss comes down to claim her weapon of choice. The Bow and Arrow. I think that the bow and arrow may be one of the best weapons available in the game, because it is a long distance weapon, and with precision can be very effective. It is a weapon that I probably would have tried to master, because it gives you a great upper hand. However, most weapons that can be effective from a long range would all be very useful. Katniss escapes the tributes with help from Rue, who is like her but smaller and quicker. They form an alliance and start to go on the offensive. Going on the offensive would be crazy, both good and bad. Good because you would have so much adrenaline and ready to fight back, but your nerves could get the best of you. I would be nervous and not at ease coming up with a plan, because if things do not go as according to plan, or something backfires, your out of the game.
