Catching Fire Plot Twist
In the second book of "The Hunger Games Catching Fire", there is an unexpected plot twist towards the end of the story. Katniss has just shot an arrow at the arena to destroy it. This is when the twist begins. At first I thought she was going to kill the remaining tributes and continue on with the games, but instead she remembers who the true enemy is and destroys the arena. Once the Capitol is destroyed. A hovercraft picks her body up and once she awakens from her drug induced coma, she sees Plutarch, Haymitch, and Finnick talking at a table. Plutarch is the new game maker, but now Katniss will soon see that he is part of the rebellion against the Capitol. Plutarch explains to Katniss that these tributes were chosen to help in the rebellion, and that they are headed to District 13. Katniss thinks that it doesn't exist because it was supposedly destroyed completely by the peacekeepers. This plot twist sets up for the next book of the series and changes the readers whole mindset on what is going on in the novel. I like the plot twist. I think it keeps the trilogy going, and it adds a little excitement and anticipation for the next book.

The The Ten Rules of Being Human
- You will receive a body. You may life it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
- Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you are alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
- There is no better a place than here. When your there has become a here, you simply obtain another there that will again look better than here.
- Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's quesitons lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all of this.
