I Am Reunited With Peeta

I am so happy that I found Peeta because even after everything that happened between us, I do not want to see him die.  Cato cut him badly with his sword and it hurts me to see Peeta  in so much pain. I want to help him but I only know a little bit about first aid.  I think Peeta is surprised that I am willing to help him after all he did to me.  I realize that I still care about Peeta.

Now that Peeta and I are together again, I have to think of a plan to keep us both alive so that we can win the Games.  I think it will work if we show everyone in the Capitol that we are star-crossed lovers.   If I take care of him then people will believe that we are truly in love.  All I have to do is kiss him and act like he is the most important person in the world.   If I kiss Peeta, the audience will be entertained and the gamemakers will be satisfied.  Maybe if the audience believes there is a romance between Peeta and I, we will get sponsors and gifts to help us win.   

My plan depends on being able to help Peeta recover from his wounds.  I have to get the backpack that contains the medicine for Peeta.  I know that Peeta does not want me to risk going to the feast to get the medicine but without it he will die.  I feel bad about tricking him into drinking the sleep syrup but I know he will not agree to let me go to the feast.    

 

How Could He Do That To Me?

I am so angry at Peeta for joining the Careers.   At first I was in shock because the Careers never let anyone from the outside districts form an alliance with them.   The only reason why they would allow him in is that he knows my strengths and weaknesses.   If the Careers kill me then the rest of the tributes will be easy to eliminate.  I am their biggest target because I got an 11 in training.

Peeta is a traitor for joining up with the Careers.  I thought that he would never join up with the them because they are vicious and arrogant.   He tricked everyone into believing that he and I are star-crossed lovers.  Everyone in the Capitol must be wondering why Peeta joined the Careers if he loved me such much.  He wanted to get me off of my game plan so that I would be easier to kill.  I have to watch out for Peeta and the Careers because their goal is to kill me.

I honestly thought that Peeta was a caring person because he complimented me on my hunting skills, cleaned up Haymitch after he got sick, and he gave me a loaf of bread even though he knew that he would get in trouble with his Mother.  I should have known better because he was acting too nice around me.  He always had that sly look on his face that told me he was up to something.

Peeta let me believe that he was weak and did not stand a chance of winning the games.  Peeta sounded defeated the night before the Hunger Games when we were talking on the roof.  It was all a plan to make me think that he was an easy kill.  I even believed that he was going to be the first tribute to die.      Now I know not to trust anyone in the games because they could get me killed.  It is important for me to stay strong even if I become lonely.  I made the mistake of trusting Peeta , I will not make the same mistake with anyone else. 

Outrage Against The Capitol

 I cannot believe that the Capitol makes children participate in a fight to the death in The Hunger Games.  This year my younger sister, Prim, was one of the 24 tributes chosen to fight in The Hunger Games.  I knew that she would not stand a chance against the older tributes so I volunteered in fight in her place.  This was a decision that I hoped I would never have to make.

 I have just put my life in danger by volunteering to participate in this bloodbath.   I have to think about leaving my Mother and Prim.  I do not know if I will ever see them again.  I am not supposed to have to think about that at my age.  I am only 16 years old.

I am very scared to fight in the Hunger Games.  Will I be able to protect myself and have a chance to survive?  I do not want my younger sister and my Mother to see me die fighting in the games.    This fear makes me angry because I should be having fun with my life; not worrying if I will survive in the Hunger Games.

It is outrageous that the people of the Capitol find the games entertaining.  They are all heartless jerks because no child be forced to fight for their life.

The decision to go to the games has changed my life in a way that I never imagined.  I have seen the games many times on television, but I cannot imagine what it will be like to participate.  Now it is all up to me, I can stay fearful or fight with confidence.
