Most important line

This week I read more in the Hugar Games and I am really starting to see the character's personallity unfold. All of a sudden Peeta is there for Katniss and in the beginning it seemed like he never wanted to be with her. They are helping each other out by taking sleeping shifts and trying to fix each others health. At this point in the game everybody left is physically and mentally exhausted. They are always thinking because they don't know when the next twist that the game makers create will come. Near the middle of the story Peeta is injured and Katniss does all she can to take care of him. Peeta is greatful that she is helping but it was hard to understand if he really liked her back. Considering that there is not many people left, I believe that it is important for them to stay togeteher because two is always better than one. If somebody is alone there is a good chance that they will have a harder time because they have nobody there to support them. In the end, I see Katniss and Peeta coming together as one, and bringing home the victory to District twelve!

While reading, I have found an important quote that shows Katniss and Peeta are truly falling in love. At this point in the story they are talking about their future if they make it out of the arena. "Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest." This shows that even though there were hints earlier on in the story that Katniss was falling for Peeta she truly feels it now. The way the author talks about the temperature of how their kiss felt lets you kow that it was just right. Katniss says she wants another because she loves the feeling inside she gets. It is amazing to see how far the pair of them have came from the beginning. From complete strangers to star-crossed lovers. They alaways have each others back from now on and I feel like since their relationship grew stronger the will be unstoppable in the end.

Author's Tone

I have started reading farther into The Hungar Games and I have really started to see the love Katniss and Peeta actually have for each other. Peeta decides to share that he has like Katniss ever since kindergarten. It all started when his dad had a crush on Katniss's mom. As time went on, Katniss was more and in love with Gail and she didn't really know who Peeta was, besides the guy who worked at the bakery. Peeta believed that it was truly luck that his name was drawn at the ceremony and Katniss volunteered instead for her sister. I think that this is strange that he has liked her for so long because in the beginning he was really awkward about getting to know Katniss, he didn't even want to train with her at one point in the story. Also if they would have felt this love for each other in the beginning, they would have been much stronger together later on in the games. As the games are coming closer to an end, there is a higher chance that one of them will go and the other one will be heartbroken.

I have also realized that the tone of the story is lighthearted but fearful at the same time. Katniss and Peeta are constantly living in fear wondering if their is a plot for one of them to be killed, but the way Katniss and Peeta interact with each other makes you feel lighthearted because you know that they are there for each other. For example in the book it says, "And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread." When the author keeps repeating the word "and" and the beginning of every sentence shows that there are so many reasons why Katniss would be totally alone without him. All the times they spent together trying to save each other during the games would go away and she didn't want to risk losing that. The author does a good job of expressing two types of tone while still keeping a storyline throughout the book.
