Hunger Games post three.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Third Post.
       I just finished the Hunger Games and it was so soooo good. As Katniss goes to the feast she manages to kill a tribute and get the medicine to heal Peeta. When Peeta is all better he is collecting berries in the woods that he doesn't know are poisonous so one of the other tributes steals some and dies. This leaves Peeta, Katniss and another boy who is very well trained. They manage to kill him and then the Gamemakers announce that the rule was revoked and two winners can no longer happen legally. So Katniss plans on killing herself in Peeta at the same time. However, this would be an embarrassment to the capital so they say two winners would be okay. However, the fact that Katniss did this is seen by the president as a rebellious act and he is not pleased. It ends on a huge cliff hanger leading you in to the next book.
       The underlying themes are oppression, courage, and loyalty. This is what she is trying to teach from her books, real courage, governtmental oppression cause from them gaining too much power, and the definition of true loyalty.
       Peeta is for sure the best character. Sweet, handsome, funny. The whole package.
My favorite quote from him is:
Caesar: “Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?”
Peeta: “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
Caesar: “She have another fellow?”
Peeta: “I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her.”
Caesar: “So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?”
Peeta: “I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning…won’t help in my case”
Caesar: “Why ever not?”
Peeta: “Because…because…she came here with me.”
It was the major twist in the book, and prevented you from setting the book down until you finish.
       I have a lot of questions that I know will be answered in the next book. Such as: Who does she end up with? Peeta or Gale? Does President Snow interfere? Do the districts rebel? What will happen at the next hunger games?
