Group Novel Second Fifth

     As I was reading I noticed how the book has been very descriptive and also slow. The book for the most part has been lacking excitement. When I read the book just as I think there will be something thrilling in the up coming pages it dies down and goes back to being mellow. It seems really rebellious to me that Peeta and Katnis are set to marry while they act in love just to fool the capital. The fact the capital is supposed to be high and mighty is kind of a joke because Peeta and Katnis have managed to pull one over on them. The capital seems like something that you cannot escape from, Its like being in prison unable to leave. The book had a small amount of action in it when they all traveled into the square and witnessed Gale getting a whipping. When Katnis jumps in and tries to save him it seem like a very stupid move on her part for stopping it with her face. When Katnis saved Gale it showed that she cared about him deeply but it risked exposing them. It seemed like caring more for him than just a cousin when she jumped in front of the whip unthinkingly. This incident also added to my thought of Panem being a cruel place where everyone is treated as prisoners of war. The speak of uprisings that Katnis is having worry me because she does not seem like a strong enough character to take down the whole capital, so it makes me feel as if she will end up in danger.
