Catching Fire 101-200

Gale got caught with a turkey on his belt. He told Thread, the executioner, that the turkey had wandered through the fence and he killed it so it wouldn’t harm anybody, which is still a crime. Gale was whipped in the town square where everybody could see him. As Katniss saw this, she raced up to the stage and jumped in front of the whip as it was coming down to whip Gale again. It hit her across the cheek. Haymitch witnessed this and he got Thread to stop. Katniss’ mother and Prim healed Gale. One night as Katniss was watching TV, she saw that there was going to be something special for the Quarter Quell. Two of the past victors from each district would enter the games this year. Since Katniss was the only girl victor, she would obviously have to go. Haymitch was picked at the reaping and Peeta volunteered to take his spot. After the reaping, all three of them were rushed to the train station to get on a train and head to the Capital. No chance was given them to say their goodbyes. After a day or two at the Capital, they had to make an appearance in chariots up and around the Capital. Peeta and Katniss, again, made a breathtaking appearance. Everybody stared at how beautiful they looked. When this was all finished, the next morning, they had to meet at breakfast. They discussed their strategy in winning the games. All Katniss cared about was keeping Peeta alive. Haymitch decided that they try and join up with the Careers, so they had allies. It would be much easier to kill others, if you traveled in a pack. Peeta and Katniss were down at the training center, and only about half the tributes showed up. They decided to split up and see who they can get or what they can do to form allies.
