Wherein Katniss continues to be reactive and unheroic.
Hunger Games Ch19
Romance and Injuries.
Hunger Games, Second Interlude
You know, I’m not one to demand total uncertainty. The fact the protagonist lives is never really in doubt here, and there’s no need to jump through hoops in a doomed attempt to make it suspenseful. But at this point, there’s nothing at all left to wonder.
No, really.
Hunger Games Ch18
Last time on the childmurder games, the obvious happens.
Worse, it’s also the more boring option. But it manages to make up for it by being absolutely horrible for the rest of the chapter.
Hunger Games Ch17
Last time, Katniss blew up the food.
Hunger Games Ch16
Last time on the Hunger Games, Katniss decided to change things up and turn them into the Hunger Games, and I complain of titling fail.
And now, Rue.
Hunger Games Ch15
Last time on the childmurder games, Katniss murdered some people by wasp, but got stung a couple times herself. She managed to steal the bow and arrow off the corpse of one girl, then was told to run by Peeta as the hallucinations kicked in.
Hunger Games Ch14
Last time on the childmurder games, Katniss was up a tree wishing she had a bow so she could kill everyone when she noticed Rue was in the tree next to her and pointing at something.
It’s a wasp’s nest.
Hunger Games Ch13
Last time on the murderdeath games, Katniss wanders around for some time until she finds water. Then, forest fire.
In Which Katniss Proceeds To Do The Exact Opposite Of What One Should:
Hunger Games Ch12
Last time on the childmurder games, eleven kids are killed and another girl is mutilated. Thank goodness Katniss was smart and tied herself to her sleeping tree so she stays in when startled!
I’m not kidding, the chapter honest to god starts with “Thank goodness”.
Hunger Games Ch11
Last time on the childmurder games, no one figured out how to be a conscientious objector and Katniss finally arrived at the site of the childmurder games.
And now the game actually begins.
Hunger Games Ch10
Last time on the childmurder games, Peeta confessed he was in love with Katniss on live television, and we end part one. Now, on to Part II: The Games.
First, more non-game waffling chapter for some reason.
Hunger Games, Interlude
Interlude. Next the games begin.
We’re done with the first part of the book, so now seems a good time to look over what we’ve seen so far.
Let’s talk about hunger, food, and weapons a bit.
Hunger Games Ch9
Chapter Nine opens, predictably, with Katniss being upset and betrayed that the thing she was hoping for has happened. Personally I’d guess Peeta was creeped out by her constantly waffling and insistence he was her enemy.
Hunger Games Ch8
Last time on the childmurder evilgames, Katniss was mad the gamemakers were ignoring her, so she shot an arrow through the apple in their roast pig and stalked off.
Then she decides to go cry on her bed.
