First part of The Lost Hero

Jason has just been chosen to lead a quest to find the captured god, Hera. Who has apparently stolen his memory three days ago and sent sports through other people to tell them that they can't leave her and they must recuse her. Also since she is the one who holds the other gods back from conflict. It will just lead the gods into more fighting. But with Mount Olympus closed, their is already something going on between them. Then there's also the fact that Percy Jackson has somehow disappeared into the middle of nowhere, Annabeth and the rest of the camp are either freaking out or gettjng really nervous about him. Who is one of the most looked up person at the camp. So Jason, Piper, and Leo will go on a quest that could be even worse the the one in The Last Olympian. 

                               And they are going to need a ride that goes through the air to do that, which sounds impossible when your a half-blood, so Leo decides to go find the dragon in the woods that everyone is calling dangerous, but when Leo finds it, it likes Leo instead of attacking him. But that Dragon has no wings. Which puts a slump on Leo's day till he realizes that there is a cave at the top with blueprints for the dragon made in 1894. And hanging from the ceiling is what should be wings that have not been added on to the dragon yet. And they only have 4 days till the Winter Solctice, which is when they have to complete their quest. So Leo may be good with tools, but has a very short ti8me to work on this project.

                              Piper has also just found out that she is the daughter of Apphodite and is the goddess of love, which is huge for her and she got plenty of respect from people about this. But the spirit that keeps possesing her and this quest is starting to scare her because she has no idea about it and is scared of what will be on it. Since Jason has lost his memory and she has the mist that so called mortals have when they see these greek dragons or such, she doesn't know if she really went out with him or not. He doesn't remember a thing and she could be making up such memories. So she should be hopping that this quest turns it around for them.

                              Jason was just named the Son of Zeus, the god of all the gods. But campers can't believe this because kids of Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon are stronger than normal demi-gods so they have an advantage against them first off and if they don't use their power to the best of their advantage, something seriously bad could happen to them or some of the gods or other half-bloods. But since he doesn't remember anything about how he got on the bus at the Grand Canyon, it's a serious problem for him to know what to do since he just got here and is already been chosen to lead a quest with Piper and Leo, who are also brand-new to Camp Half-Blood, so they have no experience fighting, don't know who the enemy is, what they look like, or what they can do. And jason seriously doesn't wnat to just lead Piper and Leo off a cliff with them after this quest. So there is plenty more for them to learn and accomplish on this trip. Which could save the lives of most demi-gods and gods or let a new king rise and cause terror between gods and demi-gods with them.

The Lost Hero

The next book I am going to read is The Lost Hero. Since it's a step off series of Percy Jackson, I can predict that it's going to be something about kids that are half bloods or the Greek or roman gods. Since I liked the Percy Jackson series when I read it awhile ago. I predict also that I will like this one as well. The main characters will probably encounter some sort of Greek or Roman creature that most people thought was a myth and destroy it like the end of the Percy Jackson series. And since the cover has a picture of a dragon on the front. I can assume that this is going to be about how they defeat and or train it to help them. Now I can't wait to find out what the books about 

End of Hunger Games Series

As I finished the final book Mockingjay, it's not what I thought would happen. Plenty of people died that you would never suspect dying died. Prim, Finnick, Coin, and many other members of District 13. The war that district 13 and the Capitol had was very short. After Katniss told her squad to go through the Capitol without being told. District 13 was able to penetrate the Capitol very easily. Katniss also lost most of her squad to Capitol traps and the sewer underneath the Capitol. Which is just more deaths because of Katniss, which is also things she can never repay which she hates, a lot. Then when Katniss votes for another Hunger Games with Capitol children, I was surprised how Katniss voted for it. I knew Katniss hated the Capitol, but I didn't think that she would vote for it. After being in there twice. And after the Capitol surrendered, Katniss was aloud to kill snow, but she shot the arrow at Coin and killed her because Katniss agreed not to lie to Snow, but she hated him, so i'm still having a hard time understand why she did that. She wanted to kill Snow more than anything but didn't, just so she could kill Coin because she thought that she was going to kill her. So Katniss had to go to court and got out only because she wasn't completely cleared medically. So then they got Paylor as president. So Katniss' life is set with Peeta and two children in district 12 with a country where you don't have a chance that your children to get killed. So she's happy and that's the end of the series.

As I'm reading Mockingjay, the final book of the Hunger Games series, you can feel how the plot of each of the books were all rising for this spot in the final book. Katniss has volunteered to be the mockingjay in District 13's plot to overthrow the Capitol. With all the Districts but 2 in uprisings, if they can all work together, they should have a chance to successfully overthrow the capitol. At the end of the first book, the reader thought that the real plot was Katniss going into the Hunger Games and ended when she got out alive, but actually started again when Katniss pulled out the berries because for the first time someone actually defined against the capitol and actually one. In the second book, the rising action kept rising again because on the victory tour, the districts wanted to rebel when they saw her because they found out that she got alive from doing something to the Capitol. And Katniss was told to throw out the fire of rebellion or she would be killed. But instead without trying she threw fuel into the fire which she thought was completely bad until she realized theme of the last book, know who the enemy is. She thought to save Peeta she would have to be good to the Capitol, but that's who would do bad things to her family and friends. Now in the final book, Katniss will have to lead the rebels against the Capitol, and if they survive, they won't have to deal with President Snow or anyone of the Capitol ever again, but if they don't win, they'll be in for a huge Hunger Games, or worse...

Prediction of Catching Fire

As Catching Fire ended, Katniss was on her way to District 13, where she thought didn't exist anymore. So this I predict will be rebuilt since they have a Hovercraft. Which is why the Capitol shows the same image of District 13 everytime they use it as a background. There is a Mockingjay in the top right corner that always leaves at exactly the same time they show it. Since the Capitol captured Peeta and other tributes like Johanna, they will probably try to torture the answer out of them to find out where the victors are. And since the other districts have revolted and probably taken over the District and have captured and unarmed Peacekeepers, they will probably join together to take over and overthrow the Capitol. As for Katniss and the rest of Distict 13, since they took the victors out of the arena which was a very risky act to start with, they will probably be in the lead of this revolt against the Capitol. But can all the districts with very little weapons and technology compared to the Capitol's whole lot of supplies and weapons, will they either all be killed and tortured, or have their plan successful, which now I really want to find out.




 
(Final book in the series of Hunger Games)

Summary Of Catching Fire

As I finished the Hunger Games, I can't wait to read the final book in the series, Mockingjay. This book changed how Katniss looked at everything and if she stops now, who knows what will happen, she could be in the torture of her life, or worse. At first all she wanted was her family and friends to  be safe after what she did in the arena with the berries against the Capitol. The Capitol thought that this was a threat. Which was really just because Katniss and Peeta didn't want to kill one another. But after she heard she started some rebellion, and severly hated the capitol, it could be her chance to lead the people of the districts to overthrow the Capitol and President Snow. And sending the victors just sent oil into the flames instead of extinguishing them. In the arena Katniss didn't realize that she was allies with Finnick and Johanna because they were knew of a plan that was that a District 13 hovercraft was going to come and rescue most of the victors. She thought that they just wanted her because of her good score. But once at the end there was a plan to use lightning and use it as electricty to go through the water and around the tree and the beach to kill all the tributes on the beach or in the water. But actually it was a plan to take out the force field of the arena so a hovercraft can come in and take out Katniss and most of the other victors so they don't have to fight to the death. Which is why Johanna slightly knocked her out to get the tracker chip out of her arm so the capitol won't be able to see where she is and attack the people around her and capture her and others. Once Katniss on the hovercraft heading for District 13, she could be in for a fight with the Capitol that will be worse than being in the arena twice. Which will be in the next book Mockingjay, which I would recommend to you if you liked the other two books.

Theme

As I finished Catching Fire, during her second time in the arena you could see how she recognized the theme. Which was for her is that remember who the enemy is.  Which for us since we don't really want to have enemies, is mainly knowing whats/whos right and wrong. For Katniss the real enemey is the Capitol not the other tributes and victors. For us, it is knowing what the right thing is or who is the good person and telling them apart from the bad decision and the bad person so you don't do the wrong thing. Because Katniss wants to do the right thing by overthrowing the Capitol because they are doing everything wrong. To us, we want to make the choices and meet the good people instead of friending the bad people and doing the bad decision. Since she was trying to save Peeta, she was trying to shoot Enoboria but realized that the Capitol was the real enemy, not her. The capitol was the one who makes people starve and have children fight to death for entertainment while they watch and live in luxury. In the beginning she was trying to not start a revolution for President Snow because she did not want any of her family and friends to get hurt. But for her that was the enemy and she should be fighting against them instead of working for them. In the book, President Snow comes to visit Katniss to talk about trying to halt the uprisings because she thinks she the enemy and President Snow tells her,"Convince Me," (Collins 29). All she wants is no one to get hurt while she can continue to live for the rest of her life. But once she hears she has to go back into the arena, all she wants to do is protect Peeta because hes not in trouble. After the arena on the way to District 13, she realizes who the enemy is. Another example that explains the theme is, "Enemy. Enemy. The word is tugging at a recent memory. Pulling it into the present. The look on Haymitch's face. 'Kaniss when you're in the arena...' THe scowl, the misgiving. 'What?' I hear my own voice tighten as I bristle at some unspoken accusation. 'You just remember who the enemy is,' Haymitch says. 'That's all," (Pg 378). This quote reinforces the theme that I brought out. She really wants to save Peeta but Enovoria is not the one that is going to torture him, it would be the Capitol, which makes her shoot at the force field instead of her. For us, by Katniss doing that, she would just be doing the wrong thing which would do nothing for Peeta.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Characters

In the second novel of the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, other victors such as Finnick, Johanna, Mags, Peeta, and Beetee find out that they have to go back in the arena to fight one another for the Quarter Quell. And since Katniss and Peeta are one of the least experienced of the victors, they need to make allies to be able to survive the arena. For Finnick, Katniss thinks that he is trying to flirt with her but it turns out that he actually was trying to keep her alive so the rebellions could stay alive. For Johanna, at first she looks to Katniss as a person who hates everyone and everything, but actually hates the capitol, so she is really trying to save Katniss. For Mags, to Katniss she looks like an innocent old lady and for her, thats all she finds out because she walks into the fog that killed her. For Peeta, he is the only one who Katniss wants to win these games because she mainly owes her life to him from the berries to everything else shes done to him. For Beetee, he is the one who stops the games because he breaks the force field which allows the District 13 hovercraft that stops everyone from fighting, so she, Peeta, and the other victors still alive can live.  In the training sessions, she meets almost every victor and talks to each of them. And after meeting them, she finds she likes all of them because they all have the same thing in common and aren't all new to because they have done what it takes to survive and once again forced to go back because they have power over the capitol audience. They all share that connection since they know the difference between the capitol and the districts that the capitol is doing everything wrong to them once, but now twice. The Victors aren't suppose to go into the reaping twice, because if they win, the rules are that they don't have to go into it again for life. So these victors all don't want to have to kill each other but know they have to. And that she could have them as allies but if they get to know one another like she did with Rue, then the thought of possibly killing them is really hard. So right now in the book, I am right at where they are going to start the Quarter Quell with one another. And the plot is in the rising action and is rising fast because she doesn't know what to do because these people are all friends with one another. So for her and Peeta right now, they will have to find allies quick and know what to do to keep Peeta alive, because she desperately owes it to him. Because she's the reason that uprisings are starting everywhere; right when she pulled out the berries at the last Hunger Games. But what will she do with the other victors? Friend them or fight them?
