The first thing Katniss remembers before entering the arena is her trainer saying run. Right when the bell rings, run as far away from the center as possible and to get away from other tributes. The next thing was to find water. Well while standing there, Katniss sees a bow and arrows, which is her experties. She can not miss a shot with those. But she knows that she would get killed if she tried. The bell rings. She is running away and sees a bookbag and is fighting with another boy until he gets stabbed right infront of her. She grabs it and runs!
Every shot fired from the arena means one person is dead. On the first day, eleven. They also showed the pictures of the ones who died in the sky. Peeta and Katniss were still alive. After she got free from all the tributes with the bookbag she stops and sees whats in it. There was a sleeping bag which she used to tie in a tree and sleep in. This was her tactic. As she was in the tree the first night, she sees a fire. Short story, that girl gets killed by a gang of tributes. The alliance was made between all of the career tributes and Peeta. The only reason why they let him go is to lead them to Katniss. Which he would never do because he was starting to grow fond of her.
Katniss is starting to become dehydrated and is begging for water. She knows that there is one lake by the start, but does not want to risk going back there. She keeps moving forward. Finally she reaches a stream and drinks as much water as she can. She is also running low on food to eat.
To get the games back up again and exciting, the gamers will put opsticals out there if no one has been killed for a while. For Katniss, they put up a wall of fire right where she was sleeping. She ran as fast as she could from it but ended up getting burns on her legs and arms. She hears people comming her way and drags herself into a tree. The career tributes find her. They let her stay up there all night becuase they know she can not go anywhere if someone was on watch and she would soon die. While up in the trees, Katniss sees another tribute watching her. Her name is Rue, and she is pointing to something right about Katniss' head. It is a hive full of tracker jackers. These are like wasp who inject venom into the skin creating a huge bump. You only can survive a few stings. Katniss thinks of an idea. She takes the branch and cuts it where the hive is and drops it onto the ground where all of the careers and Peeta are.
Katniss sees the bow and arrows right beneath her feet. Once all of the careers and tracker jackers are she drops down from the tree and tries to grab them, but Peeta and Cato, the main career, burst through the bushes. She pulls the arrows hard and run with all of her might. She has been stung a little so she starts to get a little wabbly. Again, she sees someong through the bushes after a long run. Rue was staring at her. They deciede to make an alliance themselves. Rue helped Katniss with the tracker Jacker stings and, Katniss helped Rue catch animals. They come up with a plan. They have to get rid of the careers food supply.
Rue is going to set up three fire camps to draw the careers away while Katniss shoots the supply with her bow and arrows making the explode. The plan goes fine, expect Rue's last fire did not egnite and Katniss is going deaf from the explosion of the food. Katniss gets up and runs to her and Rue's meeting place, but Rue is no where to be found. The next morning Katniss gets up and start to look for her. All of a sudden she hears a scream for her name. Before she could reach to the opening, Rue was caught in a net with a spear in her stomach. Without thinking Katniss puts an arrow right in his neck. She stays with Rue until her time came. Katniss realised... that was her first kill of the games. A few minutes later the announcer comes on saying there has been a rule change, if two people from the same district are left, they will both win the games. Katniss immediately starts looking for Peeta, who is also still alive.
Alot happened in this book. Too much for me to put into one blog. I did read all of it already and it was great! I just do not want my blog to be like 1000 words. Thats a little too much. But I really enjoyed the action going on in the arena and the struggles that Katniss an everyone else had to go through. I do not like Cato at all! He is a butt. I knew from the start Peeta was going to do something to keep Katniss out of trouble. He has had a crush on her since he was five. Of course he was going to keep her alive.
