Characters Symbol


In the book Catching Fire each character has their own symbol to show or define who they are or what they do. For instants the symbol for Katniss (one of the main characters in the book) would be a mocking-jay pin. I chose to say this because before reaping day came Katniss got a pin from her grandmother that has been pasted down in her family for generations. Also the mocking-jay means a lot to her because it reminds her of Rue, a kid that she met in the Hunger Games and they looked out for each other but she died.

Another character with a symbol would be Peete (another main character of the book) which would have a symbol of an artistic piece of some sort. I say this because Peete has grown up living in a pastry shop/bread shop where he would always decorate any of the sweets. Also another reason is because ever sins after the Hunger Games Peete has been drawing and painting the memories and moments while he and Katniss where in the Hunger Games.

Prediction of Catching Fire


It seems so far that katniss has a lot to deal with, like with President Snow threatening to kill her and all of her love ones plus trying to go on the tower of the victors of the Hunger Games and trying to prove to President Snow that she likes Peeta even though she like Gale. All this is stressing her out and she doesn’t know what to do interlay. Right now in the book she has started the tower of the victors and in district 11 Rue’s home. Rue is the little girl that was one of the tribunes for the hunger games and Katniss became friends with. Katniss is scared to meet Rue’s parents because she wasn’t able to save her so right now she is scared.

Beginning setting of Catching Fire


In the beginning of Catching Fire it starts out by telling us that Katniss is on her way back to District 12. Also how she is feeling after the Hunger Games, “My muscles are clenched tight against the cold. If a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment, the odds of scaling a tree before they attack are not in my favor.” At this part of the book you can tell how Katniss hasn’t gotten over the fact of the dramatic sense of the Hunger Games and how it almost killed her and Peeta with the deaths of some friend that she made with another tribune. Also how now she have’s to now go on a parade like thing to other districts
