Letter Goodbye

Dear Prim,

I don't know what has happened the past few days. The capitol is not letting us say goodbye to you. I don't know exactly why but just know that I love you and mom very much.

I should have spent time with you and mom more but I was so focused on the games. I have to tell you the truth. I plan on saving Peeta from the games so he has a chance to live. I will probably not come back alive. I want you to do me a favor and keep mom in her state of mentality and I want you to ask Gale for any help and assistance.

I will see you again one day, I promise. You and I will be happy again and all this will go away like it never happened. The family will be together again one way or another. Only time can tell.

                                                                                                        Love,
                                                                                                                Katniss

Character's Outfit


The character's wardrobe I am choosing to represent is Katniss Everdeen. She is about to enter the games again and Cinna is once again trying to impress the capitol with his styles for her. At the last interview before the games Cinna dressed her in her wedding dress but made some changes to it. She gets in her dress and goes to the interview. Caesar compliments her dress and she gets up and twirls in circles to show that she was still the girl on fire. But she notices that it is actually smoking and when she is done she realizes that "...Cinna has turned me into a mockingjay." The dress I chose accents like a bird and the necklace, ring, and earrings give the final touches. Katniss is not too bold so I went with a light pink for the lip stick and silver to match her dress. The shoes give the crowd something to look at as she twirls and the veil looks like something that would look good flowing in the wind like a bird. This is why I have chosen to do Katniss and the mockingjay look, because she is the girl in fire.

Stand Up


I chose to talk about the non-profit organization called Cole's Warriors. Click here to go to the Cole's Warriors website and read about Cole and his story. Cole was just a teenager with a great personality and spirit. In Tecumseh High School someone had brought prescription pills and gave them to Cole. He took that one pill and it took his life the next day. Instead of the family mourning and letting it pass, they took initiation and made this non-profit organization to teach teenagers that their lives can be taken by one little pill if you are not careful. You can get free drug test and the only people who will find out is you and your guardians. I am very proud and passionate about this group because it can change so many lives. Cole was a good friend to me and if I won a million dollars then I would put it all towards this. One pill, one time, no second chances.

Journal: From Katniss' Eyes


What is the meaning of the life I live now? I don't feel the same at all. I have to get ready for the tours but I really don't want to because I don't want to have to look at the mourning families of those whose children I have killed. I also don't want to have to act like I am Peeta's lover again because I am pretty sure he hates me right now. I am so confused with my emotions. Hunting with Gale is almost not the same anymore because we only get to hunt on Sundays and even then we can hardly tell each other anything. But every now and then we tell each other about the times we had in each of our lives when we were apart. This is the life I live now though: Peeta and I are "star crossed lovers", Gale works on the mines, I am a big celebrity, and my mother and Prim are living in a nicer house. Speaking of my mother, I walked in the house today from hunting and her face was white as a cloud. This is when I knew something was wrong. I am so confused because she is trying to act as normal as possible and then she says I have a visitor. A man from the capitol walks from behind her and guides me to the study room where Prim does her homework. I am, at this point, scared of what is waiting for me behind the closed doors. It could be anyone. Maybe someone was sent from the capitol to come arrest me for defying the capitol in the games. As the door is opening my mind is racing and then all of a sudden my heart drops. There standing behind the desk is the one person I fear the most with his snake like eyes. President Snow is looking at me as I walk through the door and my mind is asking, "What is going to happen now?"
