Training Time!

“They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!”

It's time for training time! Yes, the gamemakers ( people who decide the design of the Games). There's making fire out of materials like flint, scraps of cloth, etc., archery, using a spear, knife throwing,

weight lifting, camouflage,and more. Although Katniss has a superior skill with archery, Haymitch instructs, " Don't show the tributes your skills. Save that for your private lesson."

Private lesson? You got that right. At the end of training, the Gamemakers watch you do some sort of skill from making fires to knife throwing. You get a score from 1-12. The Careers( tributes from district 1-4 who pair up in the Games every year), usually get high rankings. So instead of showing off with a bow and arrow, she's rubbing metal, determined to make a fire spark.

Meeting Rue, District 11

Rue's a simple, sweet girl( played by Amandla Stenburg) catches Katniss' eye, peering at Katniss behind a metal beam. " You've got a shadow," remarks Peeta( Josh Hutcherson). But Katniss likes Rue. She reminds Katniss( Jennifer Lawrence) of her sister Prim, with her colorful, simple laughs and exquisite braids. Rue may not have the tightly woven braids, but she has the same personality: like a blooming flower like a primrose. Even though Rue doesn't look like much, she has some spunk. One thing Rue knows how to do is set a spark to a person's temper. Carefully hidden like an unseen shadow, Rue's hands carefully grasp Cato's knife as she slips onto a metal beam on the ceiling, tightening the straps. Katniss notices her and her curly pigtails. Grinning ear to ear, she puts one finger to her lips, wanting her victory to last. But will her sly, secret ways give her a chance during the games? During the interview she said, " If you can't catch me, you can't kill me. So don't turn your back on me."
