Catching Fire: continued
I am still reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The way she rights the book is very suspenseful. She will have the story lead one way, but then switch when the reader won't expect it. One of the only laws the Hunger Games has is once a tribute has fought in the Hunger Games they are out of the reaping forever. This year it is the 75th Hunger Games and every 25 years something that the capital thinks is special happens. On the 50th Hunger Games the special change for that year was there would be double the amount of tributes in the rink, so instead of 24 tributes there where 48, and for the 75th Games it is the reaping will only contain the living winners of previous Hunger Games. Because district 12 has always been the underdog, there are only 3 living tributes, one girl, Katnis, and two boys, Peeta and Haymitch. Because of this the Tributes are Katnis and Peeta for the second year in a row. When the announcement was made Katnis thought it was a setup because President Snow want to get rid of Katnis and Peeta because their "love" is causing uprisings in the other districts. Now Peeta and Katnis are back in the Capital with the other winning tributes, waiting for the games to start again.

While reading the first book in the Hunger Games series, I noticed the same thing with Suzanne Collin's writing style. There are lots of unexpected twists, which make the book interesting.
ReplyDeleteI also think that her writing style is very interesting and how she rapidly changes the focus and direction of the plot makes it very interesting. I also believe that the whole past champions thing wouldve had to be made up that year becasue any year prior theyre was only one champion from District 12 so why would they make one that wouldnt be possible becasue theyre are supposed to be two champions from each Discrict
ReplyDeleteI remember from reading the series how the author, Collins, was able to extend to plot of the first book into the second. It was remarkable how she was able to easily tie the two together and continue the series, even though it was at a natural ending point. Her creativity stood out to me as a reader. She found ways too keep me interested even though it was somewhat of a repetitive plot.
