Okay, so I finished the Hunger Games, and it was amazing. First of all, Foxface died. She thought she would be smart and try to take from Peeta and Katniss' feast basket. Peeta had accidentally picked some poison berries, but they didn't throw them out (so that they could possibly use them against Cato), so Foxface took them, thinking that they were safe. The only people left are Katniss, Peeta, and Cato.
The next morning, they decide to go after Cato. They try to replenish their water and whatnot, but the Gamemakers have leeched every source of water (except one) in the arena dry. They get to the lake, but don't find Cato there.They rest for awhile,waiting for him. He bursts out of the woods, like he's been running for hours on end. It turns out that he has, because he was being chased by muttations. Katniss tries to take Cato out with an arrow, but he's wearing some kind of body armor. These muttations were wolves. Oddly enough, they resembled the dead tributes! You could see Rue and Glimmer, and all the other tributes. It was creepy, but we're talking about the Capitol, here, so its gonna be creepy. Katniss takes a few of the mutts out with her arrows, but there are too many. Cato has the idea to climb the cornucopia, so Katniss follows. As it turns out, the mutts can stand on their hind legs, like they're human they try to jump on the cornucopia, but it doesn't work. Suddenly, Cato grabs Peeta, like he's going to throw him over. Katniss wants to send him over with an arrow, but can't because then she'll send Peeta over as well. Peeta signals to Cato's hand, which makes Katniss realize that Cato's armor it from his ankles to neck and wrist. She shoots him in the hand, which makes him drop Peeta. Cato falls to the mutts, who tear him apart. When the mutts are done, he's still alive, so Katniss kills him out of pity, with an arrow.
Then, of course, Claudius Templesmith announces that the rules have been reverted back to their old ways, so their can only be one winner. Katniss and Peeta argue over who will kill who, until Katniss gets an idea. She takes the poisonous berries out of their pouch. Just as she and Peeta are about to eat them ,Claudius Templesmith stops them. They've both won.
Once that they're out, the surgeons operate on Peeta's leg, which leaves Katniss alone. Thinking that she's still in the arena, Katniss goes ballistic. She's soon sedated. When she wakes up, her ear is perfectly fine, along with everything else. When they land in the Capitol, Katniss reunites with Cinna, Haymitch, Effie, and her prep team. The prep team takes her up to get her ready for the recap of the Games. She meets Haymitch, who tells her to be careful. This is because of the berries. They were a rebellious move on her part. If she and Peeta had both died, the Games would blow up in the Gamemakers faces.
During the interview, she finds out that Peeta has gotten a new plastic leg. The entire time, she plays it as though she was just a desperate girl in love. She knows that she will get some kind of punishment from the Capitol.
On the train ride home, the train stops for fuel.
Katniss and Peeta get out, to walk. They start to talk about how things will be when they get home. Haymitch tells Katniss that she did fine. Katniss finally explains things to Peeta. Peeta then thinks that her love for him is fake. She feels that Peeta is slipping away from her.
This book was amazing! I felt that I was right there with Katniss I felt sad and mad right there with her. I'm glad that she outsmarted the Capitol, but that's dangerous. The Capitol could kill her family and friends. Worst of all, that could affect Peeta too. The berries were a sign of rebellion, which if you remember, the districts and Capitol got into a war about. I'm afraid for Katniss, and it would be broadcast all across Panem, if President Snow decided to react. It just might fall on the Gamemakers, though, they would also get publicly humiliated.
If I had to endure all of that, I would be insane. Lucky for Katniss, she's had experience with trying to survive. I'd be like a..a.. lazy wealthy person compared to Katniss.It scares me to think that our society could be like that. No freedom of speech, no rights, no anything. Always to be controlled by someone I despise with a passion. I'd hate to have to conform to a society like that. I'm glad that I have the freedom to express myself. I suppose that if I were a Capitol person, it wouldn't matter to me anyway. I would be a conformed citizen, because anything else would scare me. Having to compete in deathly Games would shock me witless. Of course, if I were a Capitol person, I would probably be ugly, because of all the goofy things I would wear or do to myself. This book has really made me think about my daily life and what I think are "hardships". For those of us who read it what do you think about, when reflecting on the book?
These days you have a lot of people saying that they get messages from a spiritual element, saying that they know exactly what goes on in heaven and hell. I don't believe a word of it. I think that the narrator was one of those guys. He had some idea, telling him to kill the old man, and from that point, he couldn't stop thinking about it, until he had done the deed . 
Personally I think that the narrator was losing his mind, slowly, but surely. He thought that he could get away with the crime, but couldn't, because of that sense of hearing. The same sense of hearing that he thought was a blessing, but turned into a curse, putting him in jail. It just goes to show, Karma always comes back.
