The hunger games- Suzanne collins – Weekly Reading Response Blog

Question 1: I am Reading the hunger games, what I like about my book is that it is interesting and gives amazing detail about what the characters are seeing and going through! I don’t really dislike anything, although if I had to pick one thing I don’t like very much, it would be that Katniss is always mad at peeta! I like that Katniss and Rue are working together, and I hope peeta would join them!

Question 15: I personally think that chapter 10 (part 2) was the climax of the story because that is when the games have begun!

Question 4: In this book, something surprised me…it was that when peeta wanted to train separately, without katniss! That surprised me because he just said he liked her but now he doesn’t want to be with her.
