Catching Fire Post #3

In this book I would like to talk to the main charcacter Katiniss about why she didn't try to escape to District 13 (even though it may not exist).  She could've went when she had the chance because she knew that she was going to have to participate in another hunger games.  If I was her I would of probably chose to stay in District 12.  Even if there was a tiny bit of having a rebellion she should definitely stay.

I understand that she didn't want to look like a coward.  And she was mainly the only chance of having a rebellion against the government.  If district 13 has guns or weapons or flying machines it's would be a good choice by Katniss.  There's always a chance of district 13 not having all of that war stuff though.  It is a 50/50 chance mainly.  I personally think that it was a good choice of staying in District 12.

Catching Fire Post #2 Suzanne Collins Biography

The author of my book Catching Fire is Suzanne Collins.  She was born in 1962 in Hartford, Connecticut.  She moved a lot when she was young.  Also her first successful book series was The Underland Chronicles.  Then she started making the awesome Hunger Game series.

I really like this author because I have read her Underland Chronicles series and I really like The Hunger Games.  I wonder if she will have any more really good series. As an author she is more of a author who writes in series.  I have enjoyed all of her books so far.  I hope she comes out with another dystopian novel.





The Hunger Games Catching Fire Post #1

 
The book I'm reading, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins takes place in a futuristic society.  This book genre is utopian/dystopian.  The setting of this book takes place first in District 12 at first which is a coal mining town.  Katniss and another boy from her district won the previous Hunger Games together in the first book.

The Hunger Games but only one person was supposed to win, in the previous book.  Now the capitol is mad because they think that a possible uprising could occur.   They do not want this to happen. President Snow is watching Katniss's every move.  He pops up in her house every once and a while warning her not to do anything that could hurt others, (family, friends, everybody).  She does the right thing and doesn't do too much "sketchy" things while she knows President Snow is watching her every step.

Divergent Post #15

In conclusion I think this is one of my favorite books that I have ever read.  Divergent is not better than The Hunger Games because it has a better plot and more bloody action.  This way I won't get bored while reading.  Also the author of Divergent has a few pointless scenes that bored me at times.

Divergent Post #14

If I could have a conversation with Beatrice it would be why she chose to be in the Dauntless faction knowing that it is very dangerous to be in that faction.  Also knowing why she chose because she knew she couldn't see her family and possibly die.  I would tell her if I were her I wouldn't of gone to Dauntless I would've stayed in the same faction Abnegation.

Divergent Post #13

The scene that best shows the personality of my character Beatrice would be when she chose to be in the Dauntless.  I think this because she has no clue of what initiation in the Dauntless faction will be like.  Also choosing to go to a different faction means that you will probably never see your family again.  This scene proves that she is a brave, gutsy individual who wants to explore a new place and culture.

Author Biography Divergent Post #12

Image of Veronica RothVeronica Roth was born in a Chicago suburb. She did creative writing at Northwestern University.  She started writing this book while she was in college.  The city of Chicago where her husband and her live is where she was inspired to write the book Divergent.

Divergent Post #11

The main character has changed a lot since the beginning of the book to the end.  In the beginning she wasn't known by many people and didn't speak out against things.  In the end she became a leader and spoke out against the wrong like the Erudite faction wanting to overthrow the Abnegation government.  As you can tell she was a very influential person and was well known and loved by many.

Character Description Divergent Post #10


To describe my character Beatrice, I would say that she has blonde hair with blue eyes.  Also it said in the book that she has a narrow face.  She looks like your average all American high blonde cheer leader.  Also she has to look like she is daring since she is in the dauntless which means fearless or determined.  I think that this picture is the best resemblance of Beatrice.

Divergent Post #9

I think the author wrote this book because she has an imaginative mind.  Also he must've thought that our world could turn into something like the Divergent book and also she needed another interesting book/trilogy to write.  This book is a good warning to future societies about not having factions.

Theme & Summary Divergent Post #8

One should be careful on what they do to others.

In this book the Erudite tries to brainwash the Dauntless so they can overthrow the Abnegation government.  But the Erudite don't know that someone who was Divergent couldn't get brainwashed.  It just so happens that the main character Beatrice is Divergent so she can help the Erudite out and not get overthrown by the brainwashed Dauntless and Abnegation.

Reading Skills Divergent Post #7

I believe in the next chapter (chapter 13) the main character Beatrice will figure out what's beyond the fence of the city.  I think this because she was wondering what was on it and she thought to herself that she would figure out soon.  I wonder why the lock is on the outside of the fence in there city.  It seems like they are trying to keep them in instead of keeping people out.  This book is like the Hunger Games because it's like a future society.
