Reflection

http://ridgesreadingblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/katniss-and-rue-now-developed.html

                My blog meets the requirement in the rubric because I talk about the possible theme in the book and I mention it multiple times when reading the book. Also in the book I talk about certain characters and how they change in emotion and how there self as a whole changes throughout the novel. I really keep track of Katniss in Peeta when the games begin and when they end because you can see a difference of how they developed into new people. I also draw analysis many times when making my blog by looking back at my prediction and comparing all the details to come up with well thought out analysis of the story. In the above post you can see how I start to look at characters and they connect with each other. Also you can see how I start to form an analysis and theme of the book.

Goals I have next trimester for reading is that I can try to read two books instead of one and develop a plan so that I read every night for a certain amount of time. Next trimester I could work on my writing by maybe adding more detail about the subject is am talking about. Also I think that I could work on getting on the blog more and so that I make sure I have a certain number of blogs each week. Areas of improvement I want to work on are finding better connection to the story to add to my blog. Writing I think I could work on adding maybe quote’s from the story and really giving the reader more detail about the characters in the book. One thing I struggled with through the experience is making sure after I read I sit down and write the blog as soon as possible so I can remember all of the important details in the last reading. I overcome this struggle by making sure my book and my lap top were in the same spot all the time so when I got done reading I pick up the computer and started writing. One strength I had in blogging was that I really told the reader what was happening in the story in my reading and how the characters and I felt. I also think I did a good job at making predictions and writing lots of work so that reader could really get a sense about what was happening in the book. In the example post it shows how I start to look at the characters and see how they compare to each other and developed a theme and analysis of the story.

Hunger Games

Over all the book was great. I did not expect what happen in the end of the book to happen because I thought there was no way around there being one winner of the games. This book had lots of good action and was great to read. I am looking forward to reading the next book so I can  get to know what happens after Katniss and Peeta do after making it back to victor village. I would give this book a five out  of five because it kept my attention when reading it the whole time.

Hunger Games

In the morning the announcer comes on says now there can not be two winners anymore and that there has to be one for the games. Peeta then thinks that he should kill himself for the sake of katniss. Katniss does not let him she come up with the idea that they could kill there selves so then there would be no winner to the games at all. This connects to Romeo and Juliet because they also kill there self's over love for each other. But at the last moment before Katniss and Peeta eat the poisonous Berries the announcer comes on and says that they both win because there has to be a winner. this angers the capitol because it is showing that just two people and can out rule them and boss them around. Katniss and Peeta are taken from he arena and cleaned up and get to go to there new houses in victor village with there family's. Katniss gets back home and get to see all of her family and the same with Peeta. There is still a big tension between the capitol and Peeta and Katniss but for now all is good for the two as they start there new life's.

Hunger Games

At the end of the feast Katniss makes it out alive and finds herself closer to the end. a character that has a great chance at winning had dies during the feast. the only character left in the game was Cato who was fearless person who had trained for the games. he was left of the carriers and was on the look fro Peeta and Katniss. When Katniss gets the medicine to Peeta he feels much better and can soon walk again on his leg. Since Cato trained for the games he wanted to win really bad and show pride to his district. Now that Peeta was back to health and so was Katniss there chances  of them winning was much higher then before. I predict that Peeta and  Katniss will kill Cato's so that they can share the victory of the games and so they can make it out alive.

Hunger Games

Katniss and Peeta are hidden in a cave and are sitting there getting back to health but Peeta is still has badly injured slash mark in his leg. The arena announces a giant feast that says if you come tonight to the starting point of the games there would be something for the compeers that they all need personally. Also the3 announcer says that there ahs been a change I the games and that two competitors could win if they are from the same district. Katniss needs that medicine for Peetas leg to help heal the wound. she waits for Peeta to fall asleep and without telling him she heads to the center to get the stuff. in the book this is really dangerous because there also a few competitors left that also need stuff and it is dangerous going out in the middle where you are vulnerable to attack. I think that Katniss will  get badly injured getting the medicine for Peeta but I don't think she will die. Also in the book I the book I think there will be more tributes to die from the feast. the whole main point of having the feast was so that the capitol could eliminate more of the people to bring the people to each other so they would all go at it.

Hunger Games

Katniss and Peeta now team up after katniss finds Peeta badly injured hidden in the mud with his great camouflaging skills he got from making cakes from being a baker back in the district. Katniss was very glad to see Peeta and so was Peeta when seeing Katniss. I thought about the whole situation the story and I think that Katniss does actually have some feelings for Peeta and is not just playing the lovey dove  stuff as in act for the capitol and the peoples entertainment. Now I actually think that Katniss is in love. Also Katniss could of killed Peeta right then and there but she didn't. In the book I thought that Peeta needed Katniss more then Katniss needed Peeta because of the bad condition Peeta is in and how he is useless without having a hunting background like Katniss does. Also I am predicting now that Peeta will kill him self in the end of the story or some how Peeta will die because there hast to be one winner and I think that Katniss will make it farther then Peeta would and since he loves her  he would kill himself so she could live.

Hunger Games

Katniss and rue now developed a relationship in the arena an it really shows in the next chapters I read in my book. In the game Katniss helps Rue out by feeding her getting her food and making her feel more comfortable being the youngest competitor in the game. Also Katniss and rue start to feel for each other and really get o have great bonding experience being together. In the book I did not expect that later Rue would die from a thrown spear straight at her chest. Katniss is badly affected through this scene and happens to kill the kid with an arrow right through his neck. Katniss shows her great feelings through the game by barring rue with flowers and showing to the people of the capitol/districts how the games are wrong and that people should not have to be put through times like this. Also this sparks some of districts into rebellions.  I now beleave that the whole theme of the book is standing up for what is moraly right and facing standing up against authority.The capitol now sees Katniss more of a threat to the district and games and feel that she should be eliminated.
