Catching Fire Journal Entry

February seventeenth I recently read a novel by Suzanne collins titled, The Hunger Games. What I recall(a) most ab turn out this book is the king comparable emphasis put on food. Every single meal eaten by the characters was described in such great detail that you would think the precedent was a former culinary student. As the name persists, food is a signifi undersidet issue in this book. Its a luxury for masses living in the districts and a commodity for the capital. People from the districts often died of starvation while people who lived in the capital pushed a andton to call a three course meal.The person from a district who won the Hunger Games was guaranteed the fortune of food and money for the rest of their lives. Wow, what a revalue What I enjoyed most about reading this book was the way the root introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt up myself thinking about near of them even when they were absent from a scallywag or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to imagine them in the fleshMy favorite character for most of the story was Katniss Everdeen, the beautiful, mealy tomboy. I could really relate to her like I could no opposite character in the book. I admired her for taking care of her small(a) sister and especially her mother. I too, had to be the parent child in my household when growing up. I was non surprised at all when she took the place of her sister, the underdog, in the Hunger Games. Because I too, have lost soul close to me, I knew that hunting not only fulfilled the decision to feed her family but that it helped her to cope with the death of her father, whose bow and arrows she cherished.My best companion during my teenage years was a cat-o-nine-tails named Brian, so it was easy for me to deduce the relationship Katniss shared out with her best friend Gale the good look guy that the other girls fawned over, but not her. She was not the kind of girl to go gaga over a guys good looks. It was an lettered relationship that grew from so many mutual feelings about life and their shared common interest. They complimented each other like peanut butter and jelly. I loved that they loved each other that way. Not like a brother and sister, who often squabble. Not like a husband and wife its much deeper than that.Those relationships are tainted. Then she entered the Hunger Games and so did Peeta Mellark. Peeta was my second base favorite character in the story. He was much softer around the edges than Katniss but he looked out for her like a man would look out for the woman he loves. Even before the Hunger Games, there was a time when he took a beating from his mother for burning some bread. The reason he burned the bread was so he could split it to Katniss who he knew was hungry and hiding in his back yard. It was that foreshadowing in the story that made me believe him later when he confessed his love for Katniss.Katniss was not sure about his love because she always thought it was a gambit for him to get further in the games, but I knew better. Due to the draw in the arena she almost convinced me a couple of propagation that he was not being true, but I held on fast. At times I wanted to yell at her for being so stubborn and at other times I admired her for not being so easy to fool. It was a roller coaster ride live it was real or not, the romance they shared had me hooked. I felt like one of the spectators in the book itself I was rooting for them to win the games so they could go home and live happily ever after.It was this relationship that has me looking forward to reading Catching Fire, the second book in the trilogy. I loved that Peeta came into the picture and shared emotional moments with Katniss. I know Katniss chamberpot take care of herself but I cant rule out wanting h er to let Peeta take care of her emotionally. I know she can confide in Gale about her feelings, but its not the equivalent in their relationship they are equals. I recently saw a picture of Katniss, Gale and Peeta which almost guarantees a love triangle of some sort. Im excited just thinking about it
