'Catching Fire Journal Entry\r'

'February 17th I late read a novel by Suzanne collins titled, The Hunger Games. What I rec all more or less close this book is the magnificent emphasis put on food. Every single meal eaten by the geeks was depict in such undischarged detail that you would cipher the author was a former culinary student. As the name persists, food is a significant push through in this book. It’s a luxury for flock living in the rules and a commodity for the capital. lot from the districts often died of starvation while people who lived in the capital pushed a exclusivelyton to summons a three course meal.The person from a district who won the Hunger Games was guaranteed the fortune of food and currency for the rest of their lives. Wow, what a prize! What I enjoyed to the highest degree near variant this book was the way the author introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about all(prenominal) and every character and I felt myself sentime nt about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that onward I could finish the book, I had to turn to the network to look up the characters of the movie. I secure had to count them in the flesh!My preferent character for most of the story was Katniss Everdeen, the beautiful, spirited tomboy. I could really bear on to her manage I could no other character in the book. I admired her for taking commission of her little sister and especially her pose. I too, had to be the p arent child in my household when development up. I was not surprised at all when she took the place of her sister, the underdog, in the Hunger Games. Because I too, lease lost some champion close to me, I knew that run not only fulfilled the purpose to black market her family barely that it helped her to cope with the death of her father, whose bow and arrows she cherished.My beaver friend during my teenage years was a jest at named Brian, so it was easy fo r me to understand the birth Katniss shared out with her best friend Gale; the good looking poke fun that the other girls fawned over, but not her. She was not the soft of girl to go gaga over a guy’s good looks. It was an intimate kinship that grew from so many mutual feelings about animation and their shared common interest. They complimented each other like peanut butter and jelly. I love that they loved each other that way. Not like a brother and sister, who often squabble. Not like a husband and wife; it’s much deeper than that.Those relationships are tainted. Then she entered the Hunger Games and so did Peeta Mellark. Peeta was my second favorite character in the story. He was much softer rough 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 burnt the bread was so he could give it to Katniss who he knew was hungry and hiding in his back yard. It was that predict in the story that made me believe him later(prenominal) when he confessed his love for Katniss.Katniss was not sure about his love because she always thought it was a stratagem for him to get further in the games, but I knew better. Due to the circumstances in the arena she close to convinced me a couple of times that he was not being true, but I held on fast. At times I wanted to holler at her for being so stubborn and at other times I admired her for not being so easy to fool. It was a roster coaster ride! Weather it was real or not, the crush they shared had me hooked. I felt like one of the spectators in the book itself! I was rooting for them to clear the games so they could go home and live jubilantly 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 moment s with Katniss. I distinguish Katniss can take care of herself but I can’t resist scatty her to let Peeta take care of her emotionally. I know she can confide in Gale about her feelings, but it’s not the same; in their relationship they are equals. I recently saw a picture of Katniss, Gale and Peeta which almost guarantees a love trigon of some sort. I’m excited just thinking about it!\r\n'
