Catching Fire


8/22 45 mins, 8/23 1 hr.  8/24 35 mins, 8/25 10 mins total reading= 150 mins, 128 pages.
     
     District 12 victor of the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, tries to forget her horrifying memories in the arena but cannot escape them due to all of the attention and interviews she's been receiving on the victory tour.  The victory tour is a tour where the victors of the games go through all of the other districts and are forced to wave to the people who's children they could have killed.  After the tour, Katniss has returned back to her home in district 12 and currently lives in the victors village.
     Katniss has been spending more time with Gale, her best friend from district 12 who she used to often hunt with before the games. Katniss and Gale were very close, and began to love each other before Peeta fell for Katniss in the arena.  I am curious to find out which guy Katniss chooses between Peeta and Gale because both of them really like her.  I hope her and Gale end up together because they  hunt together and I also enjoy hunting in my free time.

  1. I like the connection you make here, and I'd like to see you focus more on connections, patterns you notice, and your questions about the book than on telling us what happened. 3/4 of your post is summary - shoot for no more than 1/4.
