Catching Fire: pages 188-252

We left off were Katniss and Peeta are going off to the Capital once again. This time, they are up against adults and pros. As they return back to the city, their stylist tell them that they are going to be stunning in the show as they walk out. They end up walking out with a costume full of lights that are colors of fire and coal. However, this time instead of holding hands and acting cute. They act mad and just stare off into their destonation. Haymitch and the other helpers are giving Peeta and Katniss more freedom since they are playing against adults and have already been through this all the previous year.

They all enter the training center. Haymitch told them that this year, their strategy was to become friends and make alliances. Katniss and Peeta split up and try to talk to as much people as they can communicating and becoming friends. Katniss was sick of talking so she went to the bows and arrows and shot everything the trainer threw at her. Every tribute is standing around watching her. By the time Katniss and Peeta return to their room, everyone has called wanting to team up with Katniss. However, Peeta and Katniss decide that they do not want to have a alliance, they want to make it through together, just themselves. Haymitch is still going to try to get Peeta out of the arena alive instead of Katniss this time. So Katniss is going to stay in as long as she can.

For the interviews of all the tributes Katniss' stylist puts her in a wedding dress. It's the wedding dress that the districts have chosen for the wedding of the century. Peeta is wearing a nice fancy tuxido that people would wear in the Capital. Way to fancy for people in District 12. As Peeta gets done with his interview, Katniss runs up on stage and talks about the return of the victors. She also talks about how she wore her dress so that everyone can see her in it now since she won't every be wearing it again. As she twirls in her dress it lights up. She keeps twrilling and twrilling, eventually the flames go down and as she looks down, she sees the same out fit except for a charcol grey color. Katniss looks on her arms and she has found wings. Then she realizes that her stylist has turned her into a Mockingjay. The symbol of her and the rebelious people amoung all the districts.

Nothing exciting has really happend. I think that Peeta and Katniss would be better off if they find friends in the arena and make allies so that they can stay in longer. But also all the tributes seem like they would turn on anyone in a second. So actually I think its better if they just hang out and protect eachother. The out fits, well they just sound like they are cool. I wish I had a stylist that could come up with ideas like that. I hope this game goes a lot quicker then in the last book. I want to know who wins and if Peeta and Katniss will be together. Or maybe Katniss and Gale?!
