Summer Reading Assignment Post 3

     There are many different parts of the book that I would say “hooked” me into reading further and put me on the edge of my seat. Most of these parts in my opinion happen towards the end of the book. One of the parts that I really liked is their battle with the mutts in the tunnels beneath the Capitol. 

    

      “A mix of human and lizard and who knows what else. White, tight reptilian skin smeared with gore, clawed hands and feet, their faces a mess of conflicting features. Hissing, shrieking my name now, as their bodies contort in rage.” 

    

      “The smell of Snow’s roses mixed with the victims’ blood. Carried across the sewer. Cutting through even this foulness. Making my heart run wild, my skin turn to ice, my lungs unable to suck air. It’s as if Snow’s breathing right in my face, telling me it’s time to die.” 

     

     I really liked this part because the whole scene was very intense and there are not many others like it in the book. It is also a very important scene in the book because some characters die. I also liked this scene because it shows how evil the Capitol is by not only attacking Katniss physically but psychologically with the smell of the roses that President snow always wears which he knows Katniss hates.
