Final Thoughts

Throughout the book, we start to learn that Peeta has always had true feelings for Katniss, and we start to learn that he was always on her side. When he joined an alliance with the other tributes, he was always looking out to make sure Katniss was not harmed. When she had dropped the nest of Tracker Jackers, the tributes were furious and went to chase her down, Peeta came first and told her to run away. Cato the tribute from district 2 was furious and Peeta had to fight him off for Katniss to runaway.

If the two tributes from the same district are the last two tributes alive, than they both win the game. As soon as Katniss heard the new rule, she immediately went to look for Peeta, when she was in the trees, she overheard the tributes say that he was seriously injured, and would die soon enough. So Katniss set off to look for him so they can become a team to win the game.

When Katniss found Peeta, he was seriously injured and Katniss had to tend to Peeta's wound. Peeta was unable to fight, and had a huge cut in his thigh, so Katniss had to take care of him until his wounds healed. The gamemarkers wanted to bring all the tributes together, so that they can have an all-out battle. So they put backpacks with the districts number on them all in one spot. In those backpacks are something that the Tributes really need to help win the game.

Foxface dashed through and grabbed hers and just ran away before anyone could decide to make a move. Katniss thought that she should do the same, but the girl tribute from district 2 had attacked her. She was right about to kill Katniss, when Thresh picked her up, and smashed her head with a rock. Katniss was scared, but Thresh had thanked her for helping Rue. He said that they were even and let her run off. Katniss grabbed her backpack and ran away. Cato from district 2 was furious, and so Thresh and Cato ran off into the woods.

Katniss came back, opened the backpack and in it was a medicine. So Katniss gave it to Peeta, and the next day Peeta felt alot better. He was still not in a good position to start hunting and fighting so they took it really easy, and relaxed for a while. During one of the nights, it had showed that Thresh was killed.

As soon as Peeta recovered, they went off to hunt for food and supplies, and came upon some black berries. Peeta had thought they were safe to eat, and so he gathered them and put them back at camp. Foxface had been lurking around there supplies, and thought they were safe, she ate them and soon died right after.

The Gamemakers wanted to have a final battle, so they drained all the water out of the ponds, and so the the only placed they could go was to the Lake where they first started off. Katniss and Peeta set off to the lake, but there was no sign of Cato. Cato soon came running through the trees and was going towards Katniss and Peeta but towards shelter. Chasing him was 21 werewolf's, each of the werewolf's resembled each tribute that died. Katniss and Peeta ran to climb a tree, and Cato had followed. Katniss and Peeta got into the tree, but the werewolf's caught Cato and dragged him off. All they can hear is Cato making sounds and crys, but in Cato's backpack was hard armor. So it was not going to kill him, so Katniss had one arrow left, and she took a shot and sent it right through his skull.

The Capitol after announced that the new rule about the two tributes from the same district can win the game if they were the last ones alive was revoked. Katniss and Peeta was furious and could not bare the fact of killing eachother after all they had been through. So they pulled out the black berries, and they were both going to eat them. Right when there were about to eat the berries, Effie announced them to stop, and congratulated them for being the victors of the Seventy-four Hunger Games.

In the end, Katniss and Peeta were victors, but it wasn't the end. Word was that the Capitol was furious, because they had made a joke of them, by over ruling the Capitol. So they had to act like they were madly in love and could not bare the fact of killing eachother. Peeta was not informed of acting like that, because he was truly in love with Katniss. So Katniss had told Peeta and he was furious because he felt like he was in love this whole time, and Katniss was just playing along.

My overall impression on this book is great, I must say that this is my favorite book I have read. I haven't read many books either so it is not that big of a deal. It had alot of action, and everytime I picked up the book, I got so into it and could just picture every scene in my head.
