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!

  2. I think that your idea of putting responses for the different chapters was very good, but I would have liked to see it for chapter 26 also. The way you right this sounds like you really enjoy writing these posts about a book that you seem to feel passionate about. You really bring what your saying to life and when I read I can just picture you saying it.
