The Hunger Games: Katniss's Diary

Improved Essays
Dear diary:

The Hunger Games are coming really soon and I'm afraid that Katniss,will get chosen as a female tribute this year. As I'm writing this she's out with Gale hunting for today's meals, I hope they are able to catch a good supper for tonight.

I might get milk from Lady and make some cheese and afterwards when Gale and Katniss comes back, I will give them the milk and cheese to trade at the Hob. I don't like the fact that the Capitol put each district into poverty. Why can't they use their power to help us?

Dear diary:

Mom and i are just as frantic as the day of the Reaping, I've tried calming her down but I gave up. i woke up early this morning and tried to get as much Milk and Cheese from Lady as possible to trade, I then went quickly and carefully to collect some herbs on the other side of the fence, because mom had finished them last night on a patient. A few hours ago a patient came in carried by his co-workers. He had clumsily hit himself with his Axe while mining the axe had penetrated pretty deep into his knee.I tried not to vomit as Mom and I crushed the herbs to make a remedy for his wound.

The live broadcast of the Hunger Games began shortly after the man went home. Mom and i were extremely scared and worried about katniss, we just hope she wins the games. All the tributes we're on different platforms as the Arena wall opened up. Many of them looked at their surroundings for a plan I could see that they all starred at the weapons. No one dared to get of their platforms until the signal went off.
Unlike last year where a tribute jumped of completely and blew up into bites. I imagined myself in that situation if Katniss hadn't volunteered for me and I silently thanked her when the signal

    She also bought an average-sized freezer to store even more food. The freezer is always full of the old and new meats. (It seems like all the food markets will be closing tomorrow.) It is always hard for me to find a way to put a small bag of bacon into the freezer; I have to arrange everything in the freezer to find the appropriate small space for a mere bag. After two or three days, I sometimes cannot find the bag, and it turns out that the day before that, my great-aunt put the bacon in the Walmart recycle bag at the bottom of the freezer to save more space for her new meats.…

    I acquired the habit of weighing myself everyday, but if people asked how much I weighed, I lied and said that I couldn’t remember the last time I checked. In reality, I would just be mad at myself for being 128 from that huge burger and plate of fries I had the night before. When my brother started to date his girlfriend Madi, I saw that she would always drink protein shakes, and when she ate supper with us would only eat fruits and vegetables. I asked her about it, and learned she participated in Herbalife, a dieting program. Interested, I ordered coffee, strawberry, and vanilla shakes from her to drink daily.…
