Entry 1: Hi, I'm Katniss and I'm sixteen years old. I live in Panem in district 12. Panem is in North America. This morning when I woke up I remembered that it was the day of the Reaping. As usually I put on my shoes and go hunting with Gale to get food for my family.
When I arrive at the forest I get my bow. I meet Gale and he surprises me with hot bread. It must have been expensive. As usually we hunt for most of the morning and then go to the market to sell our food. Today I make a little money and then I go home and eat with my sister and my mom.
Entry 2: When we dress up for the Reaping I put on my mums old dress, it is gorgeous. She makes my hair, it looks very pretty she tells me. I'm relatively calm because I believe that Prim will not be picked for the Reaping because she only sign up once. When we arrive there are already a lot of people there. Effy is already one the stage, she is the person that picks who goes to the Hunger Games.
She picks the girl first that will go to the Hunger Games. When she draws the name she says:" Prim". I can't believe it from all those names in there she picked Prim. Prim starts walking up there and then i scream I will go for her. I'm the only person that has volunteered since a long time. I can't believe it, I will have to go compete in the Hunger Games. Everything else that happens after I get chosen I can't really hear. I just hear Prim screaming for me.
Entry 3: I get taken to the spot were I will stay until my train arrives. That train will take me to the capitol. The place where I wait, friends can come and visit me to tell me their last goodbye. I do not know who will come and say goodbye. I hope my family comes. This has all been terrifying to me, just like a nightmare. I hope my mum takes good care of Prim.
When the first person comes in it's my mother and Prim. I go up and hug Prim. She is crying because us two have always been very close siblings and she loves me as much as I love her. We talk our last word together before the Peacekeepers come and take them out of the room. The next person who comes in I'm very surprised about, it's Peeta's dad the baker and the dad of the other candidate. He brings me cookies and talks a little with me. Then the last person that comes in is Gale and we talk about how much we will miss each other. And the time is over way too fast the last thing he tries to say is:" Just remember...", but before he gets to finish his sentence he is taken away by the Peacekeepers.
Entry 4: The next thing I do is go to the train station, I get there with a car. When I'm in the train I start crying, it's ok because I will get left alone from now on, until we arrive at the capitol. After a minute I start realizing that I will not be left alone because somebody is calling me for dinner. Now I think I have to stop blogging for a short time because this is kind of personal for me and I need some concentration for the dinner because it is important.
The dinner is over now. The dinner was basically very boring, I just met my tutor Haymitch, he will be very important to me. Also he told me much about the Hunger Game Rules. I also learned to know Peeta better, and I think I should not trust him to much because he will be someone that will compete against me. I'm getting tired now, good night world. Oh yeah, have a good night Prim my sweet little sister. I miss you so much.
Entry 5: It's noon by now I have arrived at the capitol after I've had the best breakfast of my life. Today I will get a makeover of my body. One of the best stylists of the capitol will create a dress for me that I will be wearing to the march trough the whole capitol. He will also make my hair look better. When I enter the hair stylist's saloon I get asked to sit down.
I have to take of all my cloth so I'm completely naked and the people that prepare the things that the stylist does not do come and start to cut of all my body hair. They say I have a lot for a women, but I've never actually cut any of it. I'm also from district 12, the poorest of all districts, and I don't get seen as good as the people from the richer districts, so I have to look gorgeous. When I'm finally done with cutting off all my hair, my actual stylist comes. He looks at my body and tells me to put on my clothes again and then he starts to prepare me. The only thing he asks is if I'm afraid of fire and I tell him no. He draws flames all over my nails ad makes me look all beautiful for the march. He draws the flames on me because all tributes have to look like their district. Our district sells coal so that's why I have flames all over my body.
Entry 6: Before I know I'm in the most wonderful dress I've ever seen. It has flames all over it. This is what I will be wearing for the parade through the capitol. For the parade I will be sitting in a carriage. I go into it still wondering why he asked if I'm afraid of fire and then I see, the dress is going on flames.
I'm sitting next to Peeta, he looks beautiful too and we're holding hands. When we are on the carriage all the people that are watching are cheering at us, me and Peeta, and they seem to have forgotten that there are any other tributes. I will always be remembered as the girl that was on fire. That will help me a lot because it will be easier for me to get a good sponsor during the game. Everyone loved the idea of the dress even after the parade was over. Now I have to start really caring about the games because the serious trouble for me and the other tributes has just began.
Last entry: Today is the last day before the games start. I'm so nervous, even though I got the best score of all the tributes. I got an 11. I hope this will help me get good sponsors for the games. This will be the final entry because I cannot take the computer with mew. I was told to get some sleep but I won't be able to.
So I go onto the roof of the hotel we've been staying in and find Peeta there. We talk about the games. He tells me that he won't have a chance to win. He also wishes me luck. I return to my room and think about what Peeta said to me. Maybe I was wrong about him and he will help me. Good night and may the fun begin tomorrow. I wish myself look and go to bed.
