Why I chose this book

I chose this book because I had really enjoyed the first book.  I wanted to know what happened in the second book so I decided to read it.  Also my sister had read it and she told me it was one of the best books she has ever read.  Once I first started reading this the author created a really good beginning and the book always made me want to keep reading.  Another reason I chose to read this book was because I needed a book to read for English class.

I had heard from other people that the book was a really interesting book and that it wasn't really easy to read but wasn't too hard either.  That made me really want to read the book even more since I do not like to read books that are too challenging or books I cannot understand.  I was also hoping to finish reading this book before I watched the movie to see how they compared and which I enjoyed more.  In this book the beginning wasn't too boring or saggy which I also enjoyed.  I have never liked beginnings that are too long or too detailed I just want them to get to the good part of the book.

Fahrenheit 451


This is one of the more interesting books I've read in an English class.  I have always liked utopian and science fiction books.  Even though the book at some parts was dull I really enjoyed a lot of it and some of the futuristic ideas the writer had.  I thought that the relationship between Beatty and Mildred was really weird.  The fact that she left without him at the end and didn't really love him was really weird.

I was also surprised at how brainwashed the people of this country had become.  They didn't pay much attention to people suffering in other countries.  They also lived for having fun for only themselves.  The people didn't even really care about anybody else.  This book really opened my eyes to how me and a lot of other Americans are so brainwashed and need to help other countries and not only think for yourself.

Catching Fire Post #4 Voice

What's up guys!  I'm back with another dope blogger post.  As you could probably tell this blog will be about... Catching Fire!  In the book Catching Fire Katniss and Peeta have to go on a victory tour.  What's that you ask?  They have to get interviewed, visit every district and do a speech.  During these speeches in the beginning they were too risky with what they said but as they kept going through the districts they were less risky.  It's always better to be risky because you never know what people might think. 






This year was the 75th annual Hunger Games and every 25 years there's a quarter quell and something different, more challenging happens.  This quarter quell has tributes from every district that had won previous Hunger Games.  That could only mean Katniss, Peeta or Haymitch could be the people from District 12.  Uh Oh?  As you could probably guess they have the reaping and Katniss and Peeta are the tributes.  Katniss and Peeta have to go in to The Hunger Games and this time it is not as easy as it was last year.  This is because they are going against victors from previous hunger games.  See you next week with another blogger coming at you!

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.
