1. In this part of the book Katniss, Peeta, and Cato are the only three tributes left in the Hunger Games. Although there can only be one victor, there was a rule change in the middle of the games. If two tributes from the same district were still alive at the end they would both be the winners of the Hunger Games. Right now Katniss Peeta and Cato are on top of the cornucopia trying as hard as they can to kill Cato. As hard as it is to kill the best fighter in the games they still have another obstacle in their way. The game maker had programed each tribute to come back alive, but this time thee would came back as dog- type creatures. Cato is holding Peeta tight, he can hardly breathe. Katniss is standing watching with an arrow in hand, Peeta in a last resort attempt tries to break the grip of Cato but its too strong. He then points to Cato’s hand and makes an X motion with his finger. Katniss then let go of the arrow and it hit him dead on.  Falls and slides down when cornucopia. Katniss dives and grabs Peeta, they then hear the sound of Cato hit the ground. Katniss and Peeta then sit, waiting to hear the cannon sound to mark Cato’s death.

2. I really enjoy this book so far. The plot is the main reason that I am so attached to this book. I’ve never read a book with an even near plot as this book. Immediately I was grabbed into the book because I always wanted to see what came next. There was never a point in the book where a scene in the book didn’t fit into the plot. Also I was very intrigued by all of the characters in the whole novel. They each had multiple traits to them that were very unique. For instance, Katniss is cunning when it comes to hunting. She is caring when it comes to Rue and Prim. She is also very passionate when it comes to Peeta and also Gale.

     3. A theme I noticed throughout this book is inhumanity. Every year there are the Hunger Games.  In the Hunger Games children fight to the death to see who comes out as the loan victor. I think this is extremely inhumane because of the cruelness of the event. Innocent children should not have to loose their lives. Also this theme was apparent when Katniss was caught in the forest fire. The game makers have no right to nearly kill Katniss because she is too close to the border of the arena. They have no cares about anyone in the games all they want to do is put on a good show.

4. My favorite character is Rue. She is so mysterious and sly. when she first was introduced she was caught spying on Katniss during her training session. she stole Cato's knife while he wasn't looking which caused a fight between him and another tribute. I like Rue because she is very much the underdog. She is small and isn’t strong at all. But she is greatly underestimated. She uses her size to her advantage. The trees are her allies; she hides in the trees where no one can see her. Rue always knows what to do and where to go. I hope she doesn’t get herself into trouble.

5. My least favorite character is Cato. He thinks he is the king of the games. I don’t like how he is one of the tributes who train’s and volunteers. That says to me that he has no soul and he will do the unthinkable to win. He also could not be anymore cruel. When Katniss blew up the food supply, he snapped the boy who was in charges neck. He really is a mean person.

6. My prediction is that Katniss and Peeta will win the games. Also when they go home they will be heroes. I also think that life will never be the same for them. I don’t think that Katniss will like the way her new lifestyle is because of her personality. She is a very hidden humble person and with her new fame she will not enjoy her new lifestyle.
