chapter 5~7

Right as Katniss and Peeta arrived at the Capital; they were forced to get prepared to be presented to the Nation as competitor in the game. Their stylist is Cinna, his job is to make them unforgettable and they had to represent their district. District 12 is known as coal mining, so Cinna’s job is difficult because in the past they didn’t have anything that was interesting about coal mining. However, Cinna pulled it off; he made Katniss and Peeta unforgettable and good impression to the nation. What Cinna did was, he made them dress in all black, and as they walk their clothes would look like they were on fire.

All day long, Peeta is watching out for Katniss. He would: entertain her, wait for her, make her laugh, listen to her, and try to be with her much as he can. During the last three day before the Game, Haymitch tells them to stay close together all the time, which Katniss doesn’t understands why, because she doesn’t want to build anything friendship or be close to him, so that way, when they are in the arena, they don’t have to worry about each other, or kill each other if they ever see each other. By Peeta’s act towards Katniss, Peeta has feelings for her, they are building relationship.

Before they go into the training, Peeta tell Haymitch and to Katniss that he doesn’t know anything, also how amazing skills she has, and with her skills, she will win the game. When they go into the training, other competitor definitely had their eyes on them, because they made a very unforgettable entering. In Training Center, they had different sessions set up for the competitors to get ready for the game. Since Peeta admitted that he doesn’t know anything to do except counting bread, Peeta and Katniss starts off with tying knots, than to camouflage where Peeta enjoys. So the next three day, Peeta and Katniss goes to station to station to learn new skills.

After three day has passed, it was time for all the tributes to show their best, strongest skill to the Gamemakers to get many sponsors as they can. Haymitch mandatorily commands Peeta, make sure he throws the weights, and show them her best shoots in archery to Katniss. When her name was called, she went in and walk straight to the archery station. She was very extremely excited to get her hands on bows and arrows. At first, because she wasn’t used to the bows, she wasn’t doing her best, however as she gets the feel of these new weapon, every shots were excellent. Katniss finds the Gamemakers not paying attention and aren’t interesting in her but is interesting to a dead pig, she gets furiously angry at them. So before she exited, she shoots her last arrow toward the apple in the pig’s mouth, where she gets attention from every Gammakers who are in the room, and makes good impression on them.  

chapter1~4

In the book "Hunger Games," the main character name is Katniss Everdeen. She has a younger sister name Prim, who she will do anything to safe her or to protect her, and a mother who is an Apothecary, also she is from District 12. After Katniss’s father’s death, she had to take care of her family because her mother was lost of her loved one death, and her sister was too young to take care of the family. To avoid the painful starvation, Katniss would go trade what she had with others, or at black marketing. When Katniss turns 12, she could afford more food to her family by putting her name into the tesserae, where she is risking of her life to bring food to her house.

Every year the Capital have these game called “Hunger Game,” they treat this event as more like festival, where to all the district it is a survival game. From each district, they must choose a girl and a boy from the tesserae, to come to the arena to come fight each other to death. The reason Capital is putting these event is to show the entire district how powerful they are, also what sacrifice their children have to make over their rebellious. During the game, the last tribute who is alive, receives prize, largely maintaining food; also to his or her district. In higher district children are trained to participate for the game, where lower district they don’t have any training.

From district 12, Katiness sister; Prim Everdeen and Peeta Mellark was called to represent their district. When Prim name was called, Katiness was in shock, because out of thousands name that was in the tesserae, where many people name was repeated (Katiness name was repeated 24 times,) Prim was pick. However, Katiness couldn’t let her little sister be the participate of the event, because Prim is only 12 years old, and whenever she take her out for haunting, her eyes were filled with tears, but most of all Katiness’s loving and protection toward her sister Prim was largely big, so Katiness volunteers to be the girl participate instead of her sister. Another participate, Peeta Mellark is bakery son. Katiness remembers when after her extremely painful her father’s death, she was starved, sick, and was about to die. Right after she was yelled to leave the bakery from Peeta’s mother, she was way too ill where she was about to sober through her tears and asking for death, Peeta came out and gave two loaf of bread to Katiness. These two loaves of bread gave courage and relief to Katiness. Before they left for arena, they had time to say good-byes to family and friends. She told her mother that she needs to be strong, not to lose her self, and take care of Prim, and that Gale will help them providing food. Katniss never recognized what she and Gale had. They would go haunting together, talk, play, and support each other like a friend, but now here she is not sure she will see him again, she recognize that what they had was love. Since Gale knows Katiness well, he tells her to choose bow and arrow as her weapon, because she is the best at it, also that she will win because she is trained.

On their way to arena, Katiness and Peeta gets to learn what will happen, how they should be prepared by Haymitch; who is a formal winner of his hunger game match. However, ever sense he became the winner of the game, he has been drinking every day and night, where he doesn’t function well enough to teach everything to Katiness and Peeta. Haymitch tells them that they must look nice and decent, to try get many sponsors as they can, and with the sponsors, they will get great weapons, food, and anything that will help them to survive and become the winner of the game, also not to resist from anything what the Capital do to them whether they like it or not. While listening to Haymitch’s advice, Katiness think how Peeta, who gave her the bread and courage, will fight his very best to kill her.
