The Hunger Games and Catching Fire

The two books The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are the first two books of a trilogy. I read these books during my trip to Miami to see Grandma Wilbur.

The Hunger Games is a book about a girl named Katniss Everdeen and she lives in a place called Distric 12 or The Seam in part of a country that is where a place called North America was. Every year in each of the districs they have a reaping where kids 12-18 put their names in a bowl, one for girls one for boys. They draw one name from each bowl and the names drawn are the names of the kids who have to enter the annual Hunger Games, where the two children picked from each distric 1-12 must fight every child, including the other person in their distric, to the death. I won't tell you everything that happens, but Katniss gets put into the Hunger Games.

In Catching Fire Katniss finds herself in the Hunger Games yet again, but the plot isn't just about that. There is much, much more going on than anyone can imagine.

Bad Events In Percy's Early Life:

A very young Percy Jackson was having a nap at a nursery school when a snake slithered up to him. No one knew until his mom came to pick him up and found Percy playing with the dead snake which he had strangled.

In third grade a man in a black trenchcoat stalked him on the playground. When the teachers threatened to call the police he went away growling. No one believed Percy when he told them the man only had one eye in the middle of his forehead.

Expelled:

Percy has had trouble with school for as long as he can remember. By age twelve he'd been to six schools in as many years because he kept getting kicked out. He'd been diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, but those weren't his only obstacles - inexplicable things had happened to him at school and on field trips.

Percy's Blunders:

In fourth grade his class went on the behind-the-scenes tour of the Marine World shark pool. Percy hit the wrong lever by the catwalk they were walking along, and the whole class took an unplanned swim with sharks.

In fifth grade he visited the Saratoga battlefield and had an accident involving a Revolutionary War cannon. He claimed he wasn't aiming for the school bus, bit it took direct hit anyway, and that meant yet another expulsion.

The Trip to End All Trips:

Percy's sixth grade feild trip was with his classmates at Yancy Academy. They visited the Metropolitan Museum. It was there that the extraordinary events began which eventually led Percy to Camp Half-blood (Half-blood means the same as Demigod)

What happened was that his math teacher, Mrs. Dodds, transformed into a shriveled hag with yellow fangs (a furry) and attacked Percy. Mr. Brunner, Percy's latin teacher, threw him a ball-point pen that turned into a bronze word in Percy's hand. One swing and the metal blade passes clean through his math teachers body.

Mrs. Dodds was a sand castle in a power fan. She exploded into yellow powder, vaporized on the spot, leaving nothing behind but the smell of sulphur and a dying screech and a chill of evil in the air, as if those two glowing red eyes were still watching me.

Oliver and Pumpkin-Bear Get the Cookie Off the Counter

One day mommy got up and said, "Oliver, stay here and be good. I'm going to do the laundry." Oliver responded, "OK.", while mommy went upstairs. After a few minutes Oliver said, "Pumpkin-Bear, let's get the cookie off the counter!" and walked into the kitchen, Pumpkin following behind. Oliver jumped up trying to reach the counter, failing each time. He pulled Pumpkin over and said, "Pumpkin-Bear! Stand Here and let me climb on you!" Pumpkin stationed herself in front of the counter and Oliver climbed on. Pumpkin stayed still until she noticed her food bowl and started walking over, making Oliver collapse on the ground, "Pumpkin-Bear!" Oliver sat to think for a few seconds and then ran over to pull a chair towards the counter. He climbed on the chair and grabbed the cookie. Oliver jumped down and said, "Pumpkin-Bear, I got it!" Pumpkin ran over and grabbed the cookie in her mouth. She ran under the table and ate the cookie leaving crumbs everywhere. Mommy came downstairs and saw the mess and asked, "Who ate the cookie?" Oliver looked at pumpkin, pointed and said, "Baa-aad Pumpkin-Bear."

The End ~O~ For Now

Graduating From 5th Grade

Last thursday was the last day of school for me and my friends. We graduated at 9:00 AM and left at 10:30 AM while everyone else was in the classrooms for the rest of the day. I'm going to a different middle school than most of my friends next year so every time i sayed goodbye and hugged someone I would tear up a little. My friends mean a whole lot to me and its hard leaving them every summer. This time its even harder because I might not ever get to see some of them again. Even though I'm losing a few of my friends, I know I will make some more during middle school. Leaving elementary school will be an adventure. I have many different feelings about middle school, I am excited because I'm going to start middle school, happy because I will meet new people and learn new things, and sad because I am leaving the school where all my memeries from the past 6 years are and because I am leaving my friends, as I said before. I'd like to thank my family for always being there for me and helping me through the tough times at school and at home. I'd also like to thank my friends for always trying to make me feel better when I'm sad and playing with me during recess when I could just be sitting under a tree.
