Hunger Games 25-27

Chapter 25: (This is a prompt that I made up, so it's not on the response sheet)
How would you feel if you were Katniss at this point in the book?
     If I were Katniss right now I'd be freaked out. If I saw those muttants charging for me I'd be so scared 'cause they're smarter than the average wolf. But honestly I thought it was kind of dumb to follow Cato. I thought one way or another they were going to die. Cato was either was going to kill them or the wolf-things were going to eat them. But it actually turned out well. And when Katniss realized they were the tributes that died and the smallest one was Rue I was like "please remember Rue. Please, please remember Katniss and leave them alone. Come to your senses". But obviously that didn't happen.
     I was sooooo happy when Katniss killed Cato. I was like "heck yeah!!! That's my girl!" But then I was like "WHAT!?" when Claudius Templesmith (the anouncer) said that there can only be one winner and they have to kill each other. I thought it was really smart of Katniss to come up with the idea to kill themselves if the Capitol only wanted one winner. Frankly I would have been scared to eat the poisonous berrys... I don't want to die!

Chapter 27: On page 371 (paragraph 4), Haymitch walks up to Katniss and Peeta and says "Great job, you two. Just keep it up in the district until the cameras are gone. We should be okay". If he said that to me I would have hit him. Peeta didn't know what he was talking about so he asks Katniss what he meant by that. And she tells him by accident that Haymitch has been coaching her to keep up the "love act". Peeta being Peeta took it the wrong way and thought she never really liked him but truth is that she doesn't know what she's been feeling. If that were me I'd probably grab Peeta by the arm and tell him what I felt, what was real, what I thought all about this and it wasn't my fault and all that non-sense.
     I did not like the way the book ended. It ends with Katniss and Peeta holding hands and getting off the train. It ends with Katniss preparing for the cameras and dreading for the moment when she'll have to let it go. That's it? What about what she felt to be back home? With Prim, her mother and Gale? Nope. Nothing. Zip. I'm sure Suzanne Collins intended it to be that way so that people will read her next book, Catching Fire, but honey I would have read it anyway. Im just saying that the ending could have been better. But overall the book was great!

LAST POST ABOUT THE HUNGER GAMES!! WHOO!

Total Carbohydrates: 551.5
Total Fats: 95.9g
Total Protein: 114.1g

1. How does your total calories compare to the recommended 2000 calories per day?

• Well, I had 1,672 calories more than what I should have. 183.6%

2. What time of day do you eat most of your calories - morning, afternoon or evening?

• For the afternoon I had a total of 1,762 calories. Then the next one where I get the second largest amount would be in the evening with a total of 1,144 calories. Morning with a total of 766 calories.

3. What does your answer to question #2 imply about your long term health?

• Well I guess since I eat most of my calories in the afternoon, I won't gain a lot of weight because I usually exercise a lot during the day. Especially after I eat.

4. Describe how many minutes you exercise per day and what activities you engage in on a regular basis.

• On Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's I usually run for about five to ten minutes with my family before school. And then at school I usually run and play games with my friends for at least five minutes, the same thing goes for lunch. Oh, also in the mornings the whole seventh grade goes for a hike which usually takes about an hour. So my exercise total everyday is about an hour and fifteen minutes at least.

5. Use the internet to find out how many calories you burn doing the activities you listed in #4. Considering that the average person burns about 2000 calories per day without doing any extra exercise, how many total calories do you think you burn each day?

6. What is the most important thing that you can change about your diet or lifestyle to improve your long term health?

• I think to improve my long term health I have to not eat a whole lot of sweets as I have been doing.

Hunger Games 22-24

(This is a prompt that I made up, so it's not on the prompt response sheet) How do you feel about what's going on at this point in the book?

annoyed

sorry

scared

happy

I feel a whole bunch of different things. So many feelings are running through my head, it's giving me a headache. Ok to start with I'm feeling happy for Katniss and yes Peeta (he's kind of grown on me) because they are the last three tributes left in the Games (with Cato). Another emotion I'm feeling is that I'm scared for Peeta and Katniss because I know that they're on the same team but Cato he is so strong and trained his whole life for this. Sorry because I feel bad for Foxface because she didn't know that the berries were poisonous. But then mischevious 'cause that's what she gets for snooping around and stealing other people's food. Relieved 'cause Katniss and Peeta don't  have to go against Thresh. Excited at the idea of Katniss and Peeta winning the Hunger Games. Regretful for Gale 'cause he "supposedly" likes Katniss and if she moves to the place where the winners live, they might not go hunting together. Annoyed at the fact that Katniss and Peeta are always kissing on each other. Nerve-racking that Peeta almost killed them (Katniss and Peeta). And finally hopeful that there is an advantage of having another tribute from your district at your side. I think that's it... yep, I'm pretty sure that that's it- or at least for now. ;) Oh! And euphoric that they've made it this far!!

Hunger Games 19-21

What would you do if you were Gale Hawthorne at this point in the book?

If I were Gale Hawthorne (Katniss' "best friend") watching The Hunger Games I would be kind of jealous of Peeta Mellark. Because I believe that Gale likes Katniss (I'm guessing 'cause the book never says, so far) and he has already asked her to runnaway with him but she declined and then all of a sudden when Peeta gets hurt she's all over him, kissing and everything. I'd also be angry because Katniss just sees Gale as just a friend (supposedly) and I bet he has been trying to get her to like him ever since they'd met and it's only been about a few weeks in the games and she's already kissing him like they've been together a long time. And if/when Katniss returns to the Seam (district 12) I bet Gale will ask her why she was kissing all over Peeta and I bet you she'll say "it was just for the show and the audience". If she says that I will be like "uh, huh sure. Don't lie like you don't like Peeta." I wouldn't be surprised if she said that then broke Gale's heart. If I were Gale, when/if Peeta came back, Peeta and I would have a "manly talk"- if you know what I mean.
