Question 3- the setting

The setting in this novel takes place in Panem. Panem is a country that consists of twelve districts and a Capitol. The Capitol has the richest of people living in it and it is the only city that doesn't have to work for anything. District one is the richest of the district and district twelve is the poorest. Each district has a job they do to collect something for the Capitol in order to live. For example district twelve is the mining district and gathers coal. Most of this book so far takes place in every Capitol and in the victors village in district twelve. Every district they go to it is always the same setup. They go on the stage in the center of the town and make their speeches. They then head to the town hall and have a dinner. Although each district is alike they have different scenery. From lakes to forests each one has a different back drop. Once they are done the tour they go to the victors village and the scenery is changed once again. District twelve is a very sad looking town. Everything is dirty from the coal miners and the district is very dark and cloudy. The district is very poor so everything is worn down and old. All the houses are falling apart and so are the people. It almost seems like a ghost town because there is no life in the people anymore. This setting would be described as grim. The only nice place in the district are the three houses in the victors village. This is kind of away from the others and is a bit nicer looking. The houses are brand new and they look so much different form the run down shacks the others are living in. So far the setting has changed a bit and I have a feeling it will continue to do so.

Question 2-Character sketch

The protagonist in this book is Katniss Everdeen she is a sixteen year old girl. She is the girl on fire which is because of her flames on her outfits and he feirce personality. She just won the Hunger games along side Peeta Mellark. She has a sister Prim which she volunteered as tribute for in the first book. Katniss' father died in a mine explosion and ever since then her mother has been kind of out of it and Katniss has to look after the family. Katniss is a great hunter which keeps her family alive and kept her alive in the arena. This is because her dad had taught her how to use the bow before he was killed.  Katniss is a mother figure to Prim and is very responsible.  She isn't the most friendly unless you are on her good side. Katniss is very stubborn as she doesn't take help easily.  She always feels like she has to repay them. She also doesn't  have a very good temper and blows up easily when angry.  She is very protective over prim and people close to her.  She is not scared easily and challenges the Capitol even though she knows she could be killed at any second. She is very strong willed and doesn't take no for an answer. Even though she is very feirce she doesn't look like it. She is very pretty, she has brown long hair and has green eyes. She is tall and thin and she is usually seen with her hair in a braid and in normal clothes. Although Katniss' character seems harsh she can be very kind and caring. I like Katniss' character because she stands up for what she believes in and isn't afraid to face people.

Question 1:  Summary of novel's plot
The novel I am reading is called Catching Fire and it is by Suzanne Collins. The book is about a sixteen year old girl named Katniss Everdeen.  She lives in Panem which consists of  twelve districts and the Capitol. The Capitol holds an annual hunger games to show there power over every district. The hunger games is a fight to the death between twenty four children ages twelve to eighteen. Two children are chosen from each district, a girl and a boy. In the first book to this trilogy Katniss Everdeen and Peta Mellark are chosen from district twelve which is the poorest of them all. They compete in the games and end up winning together. There is normally only one victor but because of there "love" the game makers  decided there could be two. The book that I am reading is the second to the trilogy and it starts with them beginning their victory tour. They go to each of the districts to celebrate their victory and then return home. When they return home they go to the victors village in their districts where they receive there own homes to live in. Katniss and Peeta live right next to each other and have both brought there families in to live with them. They don't have a lot of cameras around them anymore so their love for each other has disappeared. Every thing is going great so far in the book.  Until the Capitol threatens  to kill Katniss and Peeta because they were two victors because of their love and they have realized it was all fake.  If they do not want to be killed they must show how much they are in love so Peeta proposes to Katniss. Right now where i am at in the book they have started preparing for the wedding.
