The Hunger Games (pg. 61-147)

So starting off chapter five, they are in the capital and are getting all pretty for the grand opening of the games. During the begining of the games they have a ceramony to introduce all of the tributes. These are the people who are playing. All the tributes have to look stunning because by having this introduction will depend on how many supporters you have. The more supporters, the more supplies you can recieve in the arena. Cinna is district 12's stylist. He put both, Katniss and Peeta in flaming fire suits. They also had to pretend like they were friends and work together on everything. This was one of their stratigies.

During chapter six through eleven not much happens, they get into their trianing center and start learningn stratiges on how to win the games. In one part, the tributes all go down together in one room and there are different stations. You can either learn how to do something you do not know how to do, or you can show off your skills. Most of the careers showed off, but Katniss and Peeta were told not too. That could make them intemidating to the other competaters. However, there was another session were you could show the judeges your skills in private. They will rate the tributes from 0-12, tweleve being the best. District 12 went last in showing the judges. Once the judges made their choice, it was shown on t.v. Katniss recieved an eleven. After that, Peeta deciedes that he would rather train seperatly from Katniss. This ment WAR!

At the end of chapter eleven, Peeta and Katniss are put in rooms to themselves and taken to an unkown location. All of the other tributes are going to the same place. Once they arrive, they are set in other rooms where they can say their last goodbyes to their team. After time is up, they are sent up a dark tunnel in a tube. At the end of the tunnel is light. All of the sudden the annoucer says, "Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin."

The action is starting to come! That is what I enjoy most out of books. I know it is always slow at the begining but it always gets really good and I can not but the book down. I know once the Hunger Games acturally start I will not be able too. I am liking this book a lot more then I did at the begining. I would recemind it too any one who enjoys none stop thrillers.
