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?
