In the first few chapters of the book The Hunger Games, the reaping takes place. The reaping is a grand draw with all the names of the people aged 12 to 18 in which one boys name and one girls name is picked to go to the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are an annual thing in which all the contestants fight untill death until one contestant is left. Each person in the age brackets name is entered once at age 12, twice at age 13 and so fourth. But in exchange for extra food you can have your name entered extra times. This process is called a teserae. Katniss is the protagonist and she lives with her sister Prim and their mother. Katniss' father was killed in a fatal mine explosion and since then Katniss has taken responsibility for the food and care of the family by hunting and receiving teseraes due to the slum sad behaviour of her mother who hasn't been the same after the family tragedy. Katniss has a friend Gale who she hunts illegally with and they have become very close almost like family, but Katniss want more than that? I think so. Just before the reaping he tells Katniss to look pretty there, this gives her a fuzzy feeling inside which means she must have some feelings for him. Skipping ahead to the reaping, this year is prims first time being entered but since she is only entered once there is a low probability of her getting picked, but it happens, she is picked to got to the Games, but then Katniss comes to the rescue of her sister by volounteering to go in place of young innocent Prim.

Talking about Gale and Katniss I also think that there is definitely something there she says a few times in the book that Gale is one of the only people she can really be herself around. I think there will be some tension between Katniss, Peeta and Gale. It’s going to be hard for Peeta and Gale to become friends seeing as they barely know each other and since Peeta likes Katniss I think there may be a falling out between Peeta and Gale.
ReplyDeleteI think in the next book that Katniss will continue to be confused on her feelings for both Gale and Peeta. By the end of the third book however I think she will fall for Peeta. Gale has been her best friend for far too long, and I doubt he feels the same. Peeta has had feelings for Katniss for such a long time that now they are very deep and at some points during the book Katniss says she doesn't kiss Peeta for the cameras it's for herself.
ReplyDeleteI think Shivu is correct because it seems like she has nothing to worry about with him that is why i question the part she doesn't run away with him even though, she has to worry about prim and her mother. I believe Katniss will think of Peeta to be just someone to use in the games.
