In the second part of the book, this is what happened. Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen has a pretty unique relationship with each other. When you think of The Hunger Games, you think of survival and lots of blood and guts, but in this part of the book, more romance will be encountered. (This book contains every genre I like, romance, violence, but not comedy, sadly.) The farther we get into this book, the more action-y it gets and new surprises are revealed. You can't predict what will happen next in this book, it's just impossible.
So in this episode, more people are found dead. Peeta joins the Careers. Careers tributes are overly vicious, arrogant, better fed, but only because they're the Capitol's lapdogs. And Katniss barely sleeps to stay alive with every other person who survived. In this episode, Katniss finds a way to get sponsors to make surviving easier. (Later on, Katniss finds out how much sponsors could help her.) Spoiler!!! Some sponsors bought her some ointment or medicine to heal her bruises and attacks.
The games haven't officially started, all that chaos was just a warm up. I will never last in a game like that, unless it's virtual and doesn't risk your life. I wonder if the viewers know it's real people, or it's all scripted? I mean like, the gamemakers can set up any kind of surprise for the victims and the viewers would think it's funny or entertaining.
I'm pretty sure my reading partners will add more of the summary in their review letters, so I'll stop here and ask questions to my partners.
1: Do you think the people who are "betting" on the winner, knows if its scripted or not?
2: Did you enjoy this second part as much as me?
3: What did you think about Rue?
4: What will happen to Peeta and Katniss?
5: Are there anymore surprises in the book?
(I'm asking these kinds of questions because I know that 3 members out of 5 is done with the book. Cough. You know who you are.)

I answer your question #1 on my blog
"The question is do you think the people who are "betting" on the winner, knows if its scripted or not? Well when you say the "people" you must mean the sponsors, however there are some people in their own district also giving money to help the contenders, but they usually don't have enough money to actually help them due to them being poor. My answer is no, they know its all real and not scripted, since each contenders are randomly picked from the twelve districts. The game makers don't make the script and it's mostly a reality show or something. The gamemakers make a lot of profitable money that way, when the people bet to help their player to win, by buying expensive items that will help the person in the game. It would be a complete waste and nonprofitable to the gamemakers if the people who are betting knows it is scripted. Because if they know, the gambler will just bet on the winner side instead of some unlucky players that will make them lose their money for nothing."
Thank You .... sorta!! xD
