Reading Response on Catching Fire



       Spoiler Alert


In the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins I was truly unable to stop reading because of the ongoing events and action. Suzanne was able to let the reader see every small detail in Katniss’s life. Katniss was in the 74th annual hunger game (which is a cruel game the Capitol made, to show their strength) in the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss creates a fire that she cannot control and almost pays for what she has done.
            In this book, Katniss has to go into the games two consecutive years in a row because every 25 years a boy and a girl from each district that has already won a hunger games has to go again. Katniss was the only girl that won in her district, so the odds were not in her favor. Haymitch, Katniss’s mentor, was help making a plan on the escape during the hunger games. Katniss ends up breaking the dome that was surrounding the tributes with the help of a genius named Beetee. When the dome shattered Katniss, Beetee and Finnick were picked up by a hover craft and were brought to a district everyone thought got extinct, district 13.
I am planning to read the next book Mocking Jay just because of how interesting this book was. I expect Katniss to rebel and take down the Capitol. I think Katniss will help motivate other districts to fight against the capital. I think the districts will be able to take down the capitol and have their own leaders.
In conclusion, I think that the book Catching Fire was great and I look forward to reading the third book Mocking Jay. Hopefully Katniss does not get captured in the third book and put back into the games.
