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.
