| Warning, my entire comment is a spoiler. So if you haven't read the book, you have been warned.
Ahem. WHAT THE FUGGING FUGG?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL??? WHAT THE FUGGING HELL?! GAHHHHHH. I don't give a SHIT about your damn fucking Gale, Ash. My Peeta is in the hands of the capitol. THE DAMN CAPITOL!!!!!!!!! Don't you even TALK to me about stupid dumb Gale. I am SO pissed. Peeta! My darling Peeta is in the hands of the Capitol. I cried and I cried HARD. In all honesty, all of District 12 can go die, along with her stupid family and fugging Gale. I JUST. WANT. PEETA. MY GOD. "It's different for you. Your family needs you, Katniss. No one really needs me." I almost died at that part. And then she replied with "I do. I need you." And i almost died again. God he's just.... SO perfect. But not in the "Ha Ha I'm so perfect" kind of way. But more of a "The fact that I am so sincere in everything I do [for you] makes me the most perfect kind of guy even though I'd never even think that" way. I smiled when Haymitch said "Never in a hundred lives will you deserve him" to Katniss. Because it's so damn true. You know, I was really starting to hate the bitch because of everything but then she went "I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me." and she won her place of respect back in my heart. :]]]] And then I liked her even more when at the end she tried to kill Haymitch with her bare hands because of Peeta. Because I've just got to respect that. One of my favourite scenes in the whole book was definitely when the electric fence came back on, and she had to climb a tree to get to the other side. And then she went home and discovered a pair of Peacekeepers there and she talked her way out of the situation. | Quote: | Two Peacekeeprs, a man and a woman, are standing in the doorway to our kitchen. The woman remains impassive, but I catch the flicker of surprise on the man's face. I am unanticipated. The know I was in the woods and should be trapped there now. "Hello," I say in a neutral voice. My mother appears behind them, but keeps her distance. "Here she is, just in time for dinner," she says a little too brightly. I'm very late for dinner. I consider removing my boots as I normally would but I doubt I can manage it without revealing my injuries. Instead I just pull off my wet hood and shake the snow from my hair. "Can I help you with something?" I ask the Peacekeepers. "Head Peacekeeper Thread sent us with a message for you," says the woman. "They've been waiting for hours," my mother adds. They've been waiting for me to fail to return. To confirm I got electrocuted by the fence or trapped in the woods so they could take my family in for questioning. "Must be an important message," I say. "May we ask where you've been, Miss Everdeen?" the woman asks. "Easier to ask where I haven't been," I say with a sound of exasperation. I cross the kitchen, forcing myself to use my foot normally even though every step is excrusiating. I pass between the Peacekeepers and make it to the table all right. I fling my bag down and turn to Prim, who's standing stiffly by the hearth. Haymitch and Peeta are there as well, sitting in a pair of matching rockers playing a game of chess. "So where haven't you been?" says Haymitch in a bored voice. "Well, I haven't been talking to the Goat Man about getting Prim's goat pregnant, because someone gave me completely inaccurate information as to where he lives," I say to Prim emphatically. "No, I didn't," says Prim. "I told you exactly." "You said he lives beside the west entrance to the mine," I say. "The east enterance," Prim corrects me. "You distinctly said the west, because then I said 'Next to the slag heap?' and you said, 'Yeah,'" I say. "The slag heap next to the east enterance," says Prim patiently. "No. When did you say that?" I demand. "Last night," Haymitch chimes in. "It was definitely the east," adds Peeta. He looks at Haymitch and they laugh. I glare at Peeta and he tries to look contrite. "I'm sorry, but it's what I've been saying. You don't listen when people talk to you." "Bet people told you he didn't live there today and you didn't listen again," says Haymitch. "Shut up, Haymitch," I say, clearly indicating he's right. Haymitch and Peeta crack up and Prim allows herself a smile. "Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up," I say, which makes them laugh more. I look at the Peacekeepers. The man's smiling but the woman is unconvinced. "What's in the bag?" she asks sharply. I know she's hoping for game or wild plants. Something that clearly condemns me. I dump the contents on the table. "See for yourself." "Oh, good," says my mother, examining the cloth. "We're running low on bandages." Peeta comes to the table and opens the candy bag. "Ooh, peppermints," he says, popping one in his mouth. "They're mine." I take a swipe for the bag. He tosses it to Haymitch, who stuffs a fistful of sweets in his mouth before passing the bag to a giggling Prim. "None of you deserves candy!" I say. "What, because we're right?" Peeta wraps his arms around me. I give a small yelp of pain as my tailbone odjects. I try to turn it into a sound of indignation, but I can see in his eyes he knows I'm hurt. "Okay, Prim said west. I distinctly heard west. And we're all idiots. How's that?" "Better, I say, and I accept his kiss. |
XDDDDDDD. I just loved that scene. How they were ALL pretending but they were all doing such a good job, including Prim. And Peeta's just amazing as usual. LOL.
I actually didn't really like this book as much as the first one. I found The Hunger Games to be a LOT better. More suspenceful and stuff. I mean, I read THG in one sitting. With 40 hours worth of homework hanging over my head. But Catching Fire didn't even have 1/10 of that feel. Plus the second time she went in to the arena was a lot less intense then the first. Plus the fact that she distrusts everyone was really getting annoying.
What made me really sad is that Peeta actually DOESN'T matter to anybody. The only reason they kept him around was because of Katniss and I don't know why but that made me kind of depressed. Considering how amazing Peeta is.
Anyways, I expected a lot more of an intense ending then this one. I'm kind of dissapointed. People kept telling me THG doesn't even come close to Catching Fire and I would have the say the complete opposite is true.
Except for the part about Peeta bieng in the hands of the Capitol. And judging by how this stupid seires is going I can almost see him coming back as a Special.
Oh. Did I say just say Special? From The Uglies trilogy? Oops. I meant something similar to an evil Avox. ;p
But I sure hope not. Because Peeta and Katniss are meant to be. And Gale can marry Prim. |
