The End

It's amazing that Rue is able to movie Katniss into an offensive position.  I think Katniss really wants to protect her, and not just because she reminds her of Prim.

I wonder how long the careers knew about what the boy from 3 could do.  Maybe because of this the gamemakers won't use mines next year.

I can see Katniss and Peeta together.  They work well together.  And, they are good at reading eachother.  Also Katniss cares about him as more than a partner. She fears for his life, she really does love him I think, even though she doesn't know what that feels like, so she expresses it as anger and fear.

Thresh...I will be sorry to see him go.

She really does  dwell on the past to much, but these games are throwing her back into the worst memories she has.

Peeta doesn't have a single clue what is going on in these woods.  Fox Face has given them the advantage by prooving what the berries are.

She owes Haymtich so much.  He has given her hope in the arena, and some one she wants to care for and take care of.

I'm glad that Thresh hasn't shown up in the sky yet.

It wouldn't suprise me if Cato wasn't entirely there anymore.  He has lost his food source and hasn't got the slitest idea of how to hunt.

Ok...the mutts in the movies are just oversized dogs, they look nothing like any of the tributes.  I pictured like a fox like creaturewith red tengled curls for fur. And Rue's would be smallish and brown with black curly long coccerspaniel ears and other black splotches. That would be a nightmare to see Rue's kind little eyes in that terrible monster.  I wonder if the Rue mutt has enough control to go for Cato first.

Yeah Cato is definately not all there.

She should have just gone straight for Cato, if she had shot him the mutts would have been ordered off and the games would've been over.  By going for the mutts, she is giving Cato the chance to recover.

The Cornecopia wasn't made correctly either.  It is supposed to be gold and riged not silver and geometric.  They made a lot of little mistakes and dropped the ball on quite a few important details in the movie, and they didn't have to.

She is going to pay for that.  Peeta will be fine but it was Katnisses idea, and she will pay somehow.

She is going to have nightmares about this day for a long time. And she won't trust anyone for a long time.

She will never live it down if Peeta dies.  She really loves him, and she can't loose him.

Haymitch is going to become one of her best friends.  He is the only one who can sympothise with her.

How is her relationship with Gale going to change.  What about her mother, will she finally forgive her.

Her prep team has been to work on her while she slept. She definately cares about Peeta.  And she couldn't be more relieved to see Haymitch and Effie and Peeta.  Haymitch has become one of Katniss's favorite people because he knows what this feels like.

Dad is back.  Cinna will be her confidant for years to come.

Its Beauty and the beast in the movie during the winners interview.  She didn't look like the girl on fire in the movie.

She hasn't just broken his heart, she has broken hers as well.  Will they becordial enough with eachother when they get home?

Let The Games Begin!




I hate elevators! I would never ask to ride one again.  Effie is so unbelievably ignorant of the whole thing.  Maybe that is why she was given the 12th district. 

I wish that They could've done some of the flashbacks in the movie, i would've liked to see them. 
How could Cinna possibly do better than the first costume?
Why does Peeta decide to break away at the interview portion.  I mean I know why he does it, but why
        doesn't he just decide to work seperatley?
I like that i can still imagine Cinna the way I see him, and not the way the movie makes hime look.
Ceasar seems like the only person who understands what the tributes are going through, which is what
           makes him so helpful in the interviews.
Cinna is truely the only one who cares about Katniss the person more than Katniss the tribute.  He is her
          only life line, he feels for her, like a father.
That promise to Prim is what's going to keep her going.
The smelling of eachother is a nice touch.
I think Ceasar knew that Peeta was in love with Katniss when he says that winning won't help him.
I know what Katniss means about getting no sleep when it counts.
"I keep wishing I could think of a way to show the Capital they don't own me.  That I'm more than just some
            peice in their games."       -Peeta
Peeta has blue eyes just like the Beast/Prince when he looks at
         Katniss on the roof.
Katniss dwells on the past just a little to much sometimes.
It's a good thing that Cinna is the only one allowed to accompany
        Katniss into the prep room.  He keeps her collected.
In five days Cinna has become like a father to Katniss, even
          thoughshe may not realize it.
Here's the thing, if I were a career tribute, I would've tried to get
           Katniss on my team not Peeta.
Peeta is leading them on a wild goose chase?
I wonder if the other tributes have put together the gifts and the arena: no gift of water means you're close,
               things like that.
It is as if the Game makers knew that Katniss thrived in the woods.
Where did the fire come from?
Why do they pick Katniss, because of what she did in the private training session?
The gamemakers won't kill her, because the tributes fighting with eachother is what people want to see in the
      Capital.
How can Peeta do that? Won't he loose the hope of getting sponcers if he sides with the careers and breaks
         the whole star-crossed lovers thing? Or is their more that Haymitch told him to do in private before the
         interviews?
Katniss has made more mental notes about the games in general than she realizes, and they are saving her
            and making her think rationally.
Finally she has a bow and arrows.
Why does Peeta come back and tell her to run?  Is he staying behind to fight the careers and give her her
         best chances?

I'm really enjoying the book and as you can see making lots of notes.  It feels like a whole new story to me, even though I know what is going to happen, I find myself reading as if I don't.  I can't wait to pick up the next book.
