The blog link posted above is a blog about the reading skills in the book The Hunger Games. The reading skills required me to talk about predictions I made, ask questions, make text to world connections, make text to self connections, and make text to text connections. The blog I made for reading skills has all of these requirements. The prediction I made was that I predicted that Katniss or Peeta would win the Hunger Games and my prediction was mostly correct because both of them won. The questions I asked  in the blog post were answered. Katniss and Peeta, as a team, and Cato were the last tributes to fight to the death. My other question that was answered was  "I wonder if Peeta and Katniss will actually watch out for each other?" This answer would be yes because Peeta was near death and Katniss saved his life by winning him medicine. Peeta was there for Katniss when Katniss got a cut on her head and Peeta helped heal the wound. In my reading skills blog post I also added connections to the story that were also required. The link posted above is a great explanation of the reading skills for the book The Hunger Games.

Goals I have for next trimester for reading is that I want to be able to read every night instead of reading about once a week. I can fix this by cutting out some tv time and reading instead. Another goal I have for next trimester for reading is to read more then one book a trimester. I can do this by sticking with my goal of reading every night. A goal I have for next trimester for writing is to improve my writing material. I can do this by practicing my writing often. Areas of improvement that I want to work towards next trimester for reading is to learn to read more challenging books. I could do this by picking a book I have never heard of before. Areas of improvement that I want to work towards next trimester for writing is I want to make the quality of my writing more unique by using better vocabulary. I can do this by teaching myself new vocabulary words.

Since rue died, Katniss is now on her own. While about less then half of the tributes are still alive an announcement is made. This announcement was that two tributes can win if they are from the same district. Katniss is determined to find Peeta and when she does he is camaflagued and covered in leaves by the river. Petta was stabbed in the leg by another tribute named Cato. It is now Katniss job to fix Peeta and get him walking again.

Characters- Katniss develops a lot as this story goes on. At the beginning of the book she is a strong protective girl. As the story goes on, these qualities strengthen. When rue passed away she became loving as she buried rue with flowers and sang her a song as she was dying. Katniss begins to interact with peeta finally when they announce that two tributes from the same district are allowed to both win. Katniss develops the theme of the story by being there for those who care about here and who she cares about.

The tributes in the hunger games are continuing to fight for their lives. Katniss has allied with a girl named rue. Rue is 12 year old scard girl. Katniss gets the idea to blow up all the other teamed up tributes food. As Katniss is working to blow up the food, rue will make three fires at three different spots to distract the other tributes. Katniss then successfully blows the food up but when she gets back rue is tied up in a net as a trap. Katniss gets rue loose but when she does a tribute flies an arrow right through rues stomach. Katniss shoots an arrow right back at the tribute that killed rue and the arrow kills him. Katniss is saddened by the tragic loss of rue.
