Katniss starts off by running into the woods one last time going to go see a house that her and her fatherused to go to when they were out there (her father passed away in a minning accident). When she arrived she meets two girls from District 8. They ended up running away after the uprising and the shooting. They managed to get away my stealing police uniforms. Katniss joined them in the house. She offered them some of her food and they gladly accepted. As they were eating, Katniss asked about the uprising in District 8 and where they are headed off too. They two girls told her that they are headed to District 13 (that district was distroyed). They believe that there are still living people in District 13 because everytime they show a televized interview at the district live, it uses the same footage; therefore, not being live at all! Katniss wishes them good luck amd runs back into town.
When Katniss gets closer to the fence, seh realizes it is full of electricity. There is no way she would be able to get back across without huring herself. Katniss climbs up a tree about 20ft. off the ground and drops hurting her ancle. She returns to her home to be welcomed buy two policemen. All they came to say was that the fence would be with electricity 24/7 and to let Gale know. After that welcoming, Katniss watched the interview with District 13, and realized that it is just footage that they replay over and over again every year. She wonders what it actually is.
Katniss' make-up and beauty teams arrives to prep her for her photo shoot. She is taking pictures of all of the wedding dresses that her stylist has picked out for her. The next day the photos were being shown on t.v. and they Capital will be able to pick their favorite one that she will wear one her wedding day. Right after that news, the introduction to the third quarter quell. It happens every 25 years and it is always a special event. The first quarter quell there was an election to decide who was going to fight in the Hunger Games. The second quarter quell twice the many kids were put into the arena. For the third quarter quell, there will be returning victors thrown into the arena. This means one boy and one girl from each District. Katniss, Haymitch, and Peeta are the only winners from District 12; therefore saying that Katniss is back in the arena no matter what.
When everyone gathers in the city the next day, they announce who wins. Of course Katniss is going to be in the next quarter quell, and Haymitch was picked to be with her. However, Peeta interviens and volunteers to take Haymitchs place. He does this so that when him and Katniss are in the arena together, He can help protect her. Because of this, they all decide to start training like careers so that they can get better and stronger. Katniss goes and talks to Haymitch privately (since he will be their mentor again this year) about who to protect. Last year Haymitch protected Katniss, this year Katniss wanted to protect Peeta. They both owe him alot so Haymitch agrees to it. As they leave the city, maybe for the last time, Katniss thinks that will be the last time she will see the city.
Catching Fire is interesting. I like the book a lot. It still keeps me interested even though it is kinda like the first book except for there is a lot harder competition in the arena. Instead of have young kids, they are all mostly adults with experience in killing. I really do not like how they are being thrown back into the arena. They just got out and are sick of doing the same thing. I think that once they win, they should stay out for life. I hope that Katniss and Peeta both survive even though I know that won't be possible again.
