1. Not much is going on in this book right know because I am only a very short ways through it. It opens up in the first chapter by telling the reader what is happening right after Katniss and Peeta have won the Hunger Games. Katniss is on her way back to District Twelve were she is somewhat looking forward to wealth and fame with her family. I say somewhat because she is dreading some of it. She said that she will have to go to all of the districts and see people who loath her. Also, she said that it will be awful to look down at the faces of the parents whose children she killed.

2. So far, I feel pretty good about this. I like that I still have no idea what it is going to be about. That makes it much more suspenseful. What would make the beginning of this book a little better for me is if it started out with a really intense scene. I would enjoy this because the beginning is what gets me hooked and that definitely would. The beginning scenes know aren't horrible but they are on the slow side.

3. A theme that I have noticed is drastic change. It is happening everywhere. Katniss and her family are going from almost starved and poor to soon to be wealthy and well fed. I have a feeling that this will soon change though.

4. My favorite character right know is Katniss. The reasons for this is that she has won the Hunger Games and how she is dealing with this outcome. She is not boasting like most others would. Actually she is doing the exact opposite. She is being modest and is almost to the point where she is annoyed because of the little amount of privacy.

5. My least favorite character is President Snow. This is because he is the reason behind most of Katniss' problems at the present time. He is the one that makes her travel the 12 districts and he is the one who most likely sent all of the reporters and photographers to her small home and town.

6. It is anyone's guess as to what will happen in the following pages of this book. My thought is that Katniss won't be able to take the publicity any more and she will do something about it, specifically involving President Snow. She might end up chasing someone or being chased. I am taking this conclusion from the title. Overall I have no idea what will happen. I just have not read enough.
