Catching Fire: pages 253-391 (end)

So Katniss once again is put into the arena with Peeta, this time is going to be completely different. Well they have been put up against otehr victors. When they get shot up through a shoot to the arena, right before they leave, Katniss sees the police take Cianna (her stylist) and beats him up. Shocked she does not know how to react, but before she can, she is already in the new arena. All of the victors are on islands surrouned by water with the cornicopoia (where they get all their weapons from) in the middle on its own island. Right as the cannon is lauched Katniss dives into the water to go to the cornicopia. As she reaches it she finds another person there, Finnick. He stands right behind her with a trident in his arms. However, Haymitch has made them allies. They run off out of the Cornicopia together covering each other. They team up with other victors as well, Peeta being one of the ofcourse. They go off into the woods deep.

They wake up the next morning to a dense fog coming their way, but Katniss realizes this is no fog. Everyone gathers their things and run away. Peeta ends up getting burn and scares from this so called "fog". It actually numbs your nerves so Peeta ends up going down forcing Finnick to carry him. Katniss runs for her life and they end up excaping it just in time. Katniss has arms that are uncontrollable as does Finnick. Peeta's legs are twitching as well. Katniss discovers that going into the lake by the Cornicopia helps the twicthing. Eventually those nerves start to come back and they have control again. But they still have scares that aer itching like crazy so Haymitch sends them itching cream. A few minutes later they are face to face with orange monkey's. Peeta accidentally takes one look at them and they all attack. Fortunatelly they make it out alive.

Another victor comes up to Peeta, Katniss, and Finnick asking to join their alliance. Katniss accepts and they end up figuring out the the arena that they are put in is a clock. At each hour something devistating happens. Fog, monkey's, wave of blood, acid rain, jabber jay with loved ones screams, distructive bugs, lighting each one comes right after another. Beetee another one of their alliances realizes that the only source of water is the Cornicopia therefore the other tributes have to be close by. Beetee comes up with an idea. They are going to put a wire that he carries around and tie it around a tree in the lighting area and run it all the way to the Cornicopia water. There for, if the victors are in any area of the beach, they will be eletricuted and die. Katniss and another allie run the wire up to the beach  but it gets cut. Before Katniss can do anything the allie is on top of her telling her to shut up. Katniss is confused because the allie has hit her on the head with a rock thinking that she is betraying her. Other victors pass by and the allie leaves with them leaving Katniss there for death. However, Katniss gets up and try's to go back to the tree with the wire. There is no one insight. A few minutes later she finds BeeTee laying on the ground with the wire tied around a knife in his hands. Katniss remembers that Haymitch told her, "remember who your enemies are in the arena." Because of this she takes the wire and raps it around her bow shooting it into a force field around the arena. After this, there was an explosion.

Katniss is awaken to find herself in District 13.

WOO. There is a District 13. Okay so I really wanna know what happened to Peeta cause he is no were to be found amoung the District. However, Gale is there. I think I am leaning toward Peeta just becuase Katniss and Gale are more like best firends. I quess in the next book it starts the war between districts and the capital. Katniss is their mockingjay and they need her to lead the rebellion.

  1. Your reading logs are really really in depth which is really interesting.. It seems as though you like the book you are reading which is good! :) I also like your responses and the fact that you are getting emotionally attached to the book... I seem to do the same thing.
