I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I was about two thirds of the way through. This part of the book is mainly about the games. At the beginning of the battle over half of the tributes get killed. Peeta joins up with the tributes who are the most dangerous to track down Katniss. Peeta and the other tributes find Katniss up in a tree and are waiting for the right moment to kill her. Rue, a twelve year old tribute, is in the tree next to Katniss and shows her a nest that lies tracker jackers, the most dangerous types of bugs. She cuts the branch where the nest is and it falls down and it explodes stinging the tributes and killing most of them. Later, her and Rue team up and decide to blow up the other tributes supplies. Rue distracts them and Katniss blows up the supplies, but when Katniss gets back to Rue, Rue gets stabbed and then dies.
I think the book so far is really good. The games are really intense and violent and it makes you want to know what is going to happen next.Suzanne keeps the action going without losing it. I think Suzanne wrote this book because it is a really good future story, but it is also a good story about friendship especially between Rue and Katniss. The theme in this story is about friendship and bravery. The way Katniss was going to blow up the supplies, and how she could've gotten caught and killed.
I think the best character is still Katniss because she's strong and will do anything for the people she cares about like her sister and Rue. I feel Katniss has grown as a character because she didn't really trust anyone at the beginning, but now she's starting to.
"Was she dead?" asks the boy from District 2. "No, but she is now." says Peeta. I think it is important because it shows how much Peeta has changed from when he was more innocent to how he's gotten more violent.
One question I have is:Why haven't the other tributes killed Peeta if they don't really need him since they found Katniss?
