about the games

For those of you who read my last post which it looks like none of you did because I have no comments, I read the syllabus wrong and thought the last blog post was supposed to be about the rest of the book.  Therefore, I am sorry if i ruined the ending of the book for you :( Anyways.... I want to focus more about what happened in the games.  First of all I didn't think Peta would join up with the careers.  Granted, I am pretty sure he only did it to help protect Katniss, that way if they did find her he could try and save her.  When Katniss was trapped up in the tree with the careers beneath her I thought it was very helpful of Rue to tell Katniss about the tracker jacker nest.  Later, I was impressed that Katniss stumbled upon Peta who was perfectly camouflaged with the scenery around him.  I didn't think Peta was that good with disguising himself, but I guess he had to in order to stay alive.  This is where it gets really interesting.... When Peta and Katniss find the cave Peta's love starts to really show.  We learn that both people from the same district are alive at the end they both win.  Therefore, Peta and Katniss work even harder to keep each other alive.  Once Peta heals up they are faced with another creation

of the games...some crazy savage dog like things are put into the field.  Katniss and Peta try to run to higher ground which is the cornucopia and almost die.  The dogs get a guy from another district and that leaves Peta and Katniss victorious... or so we think.  An announcemnet is made that there has to be only one winner so Katniss decides that this isn't right and convinces Peta to eat poison berries and they will die together.  Once again, this gets reversed and they both get to live.
