Reading Response- 3

       After the skills show to the Gamemakers the tributes are ranked on their skills. Katniss got an eleven because of the wonderful show and Peeta got an eight.  After this all the tributes get interviewed on things about the Hunger Games and also about them themselves.The man that interviews the tributes is named Caesar Flickerman. Katniss stuns the crowd by having a beautiful dress that is on fire. Peeta said that he has always had a crush on Katniss. This infuriates Katniss and she pushes him down. Peeta then explains his reasoning behind that Haymitch, District 12's mentor, told him to do that to get sponsors. The next day was the start of the Hunger Games.

       The start of the Games was when Katniss get the backpack full of a sleeping bag, crackers, dried meat, a bottle of iodine wooden matches, coil of wire, sunglasses and an empty water bottle. She is on a quest to find water, but she nearly dies of thirst  before she finds it. After a few hours of sipping the water the Gamemakers light the woods on fire bringing her back to the other tributes. She then runs into the Career tributes which are the ones that train for the Hunger Games and they chase her up a tree. With the Career tributes is Peeta and KAtniss feels betrayed because of this event. They soon decide to wait her out. As Katniss is in the tree she sees Rue in another tree.

       At this point in the book it is loaded with action and it is making me turn pages.
