Hunger Games Pg. 240-280

In this section of the reading it's right after Kat blows up the supplies that the Careers were try to hold on to. Kat is walking back to were she had last seen Rue. She can find her and she is beginning to get worried. Then she hears the melody of notes that Rue had tought her. The mocking jays were tweeting the same set of notes. Kat is starting to go a little bit faster just so she can see Rue. And then out of no were she hears a scream. Not just any scream but a little girl scream something that only Rue could scream. Kat yells for Rue Kat is getting fast and faster. Then she sees Rue in a net and then the boy from district 1. The boy pierces Rue with the a spear. Then Kat shoots the boy with her bow. She hits her target right in the neck she comes up to the boy and yanks the arrow out of the boys neck and looks at Rue's wound. She knows it is to much for her to do. She sings a song to Rue as she slowly slips away. Kat is devastated and mopes around for the next day or so. Then she hears the familiar voice on the loud speaker. They announce that if two tributes from the same district can win. Kat thinks that means both her and Peeta can win. She realizes that she has to find Peeta. After all he is wounded. She fallows the creek were she finds Peeta on the ground covered in mud and lea vs. She spends two days with Peeta when the voice comes over the loud speaker. There is going to be a feast this means that something that each remaining tribute will have something they need dearly waiting for them the only problem is that it is an almost guaranteed death trap.

WOW this little section of reading i think has been the most intense part of the whole book so far I mean it has everything emotion desire and most of all action there is a lot of action that really keeps you on your toes the whole time.

Hunger Games Pg 190-240

This is when it gets good. Kat is suffering from the tracker jackets and is stumbling threw the woods and is incapable to do anything at this point. When she is stumbling threw the woods she sees Peeta he comes out of the forest and he is sparkling she doesn't know why then Peeta says to run so Kat starts to when when she sees Cato come out of the woods with his sword drawn. She sees Cato wound Peeta but she doesn't stay around for long. The next day she looks into the sky and sees that two others had died from what we all assume was the tacker jackets. After she goes threw a intense trip off of the tracker venom she and Rue team up and become close friends. They live together for a while and Rue tells her everything she knows about anything. Rue is now an alli to Kat they share everything they get and they basically become a small family. Rue tells Kat about the Careers camp that they have by the lake with the large amount of food and supplies all in a pile. Kat and Rue make a plan to destroy the supplies so the Careers would then have nothing. That night Kat goes to the edge of the camp and waits she scopes out the place when nobody is there. When everyone leaves she makes a move she slings an arrow and severs a burlap sack that had apples in it and set off every min that was set to catch any intruders and blows up all the supplies that the Careers had.

I loved this part of the reading i loved how there is a lot of action and how Kat and Rue team up. I really liked this section truly a part were I couldn't put my book down.

The Hunger Games Pg. 158-190

This is really getting good. The games are getting crazy. Kat is doing what Haymitch told her to do get as far as possible. But she isnt doing to well she is started to become dehydrated and is just dragging. She knows that if she would sit down she would not be able to get back up so she continues on. She calapses and is on the ground for some time she thinks this is a good peacful way to die and then smells the lilys and feels the mud on her fingers. She looks up and there she sees the pond . She walks over to the pond and begins to drink she fills up her water bottle and stores some of the water. That night sitting she climbs up a tree and fastens herself in for the night. She wakes up to a smell and the feeling of fire. she un clips herself from the tree and notices that there Check Spellingis a huge forest fire that was cause by the gamemakers. She starts to run and everywere she goes there is just more fire and smoke. her eyes and lungs began to sting she felt the sting on her leg as a fire ball almost hits her. Kat notices that the fire is beginning to stop this means there is another tribute close to her so what does she do? Kat does what any animal that is being hunted would do she scurried up a tree. Then she looks below and she sees not just one but five tributes looks like the carreers and then she cant believe what she is seeing she sees Peeta. The carreers try to get Kat all day but non of them succeeded. They left her to sit in the tree for the night. There Kat began to plan her escape.

I think this section of the book shows the real side of the hunger games , the fire balls coming down from the sky and the Kat fightng for her life. I think Kat had a great amount of courage to not pass out when looking at her burnt mangled leg i would of for sure passed out and would of been done for.

The Hunger Games Pg. 138- 158

These pages show how intense the games really are and how the citizens of the capitol look at them. Kat is stressing over the games. The night before she cant sleep she spends most of the night thinking of what kind of terrain the arena is like and what she is going to do. every so often she might of got a lil bit of sleep but is woken by the picture of herself in the arena. She wakes up to Ceena touching her hand. He says she must wake because they have a lot to do before the games start. Her and Ceena go to a room underneath the arena were she has to get ready. This room has never been used by another tribute it is brand new. Each tribute has their own room to get ready for the games. Kat is given a leather like setup she said it fit her perfectly.  Her and Ceena wait for what seems like hours, at least for Kat. She sits and thinks of what is about to happen. Then  Kat is summoned to the arena were she waits for the gong to ring. her heart was fluttering, she was thinking of her first move. She remembers what Haymitch said about get to the woods and find water as quickly as possible. She is looking around and at the golden horn she sees a bow. She thinks about if she got the bow she would have a great chance of defending herself. She looks over and of in the distance she can see Peeta. She couldn't tell if he was looking at her because of the sun. Then it looked like he was shaking his head at her then without notice the gong rings everyone bolted. Kat didn't know what to do she picked up a small peace of plastic and ran. she came to a pack and another boy was going to fight her for it then the boy spit a sticky liquid on her face it was blood the boy had a knife in his back. Kat started to run and saw the girl that killed the bow focus in on her. She kept running until she new te girl had given up on chasing her. 

This part of the book is were i think all the really intense action is going to take plase. Already somebody has ben killed and Kat has mad into the second day of the GAMES.
