Evil Destroys Good

Authors Note: This following piece is a prediction on what will happen next in the book “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins. This piece also includes figurative language and a creative scene made for my prediction.

Within about 100 pages in the book “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins, Katniss and Peeta went on their “victory tour” throughout all 12 Districts for the congratulating of winning the 74^th annual Hunger Games. The Capitol is not pleased with Katniss and Peeta; the famous “star-crossed lovers” from District 12, because of the fact that they showed them off by acting as if their love was too powerful to lose one another in the games and both were allowed to win. I predict that President Snow will do something that will harm both Katniss and Peeta’s families to show that he has control over all districts and he’s not afraid to use it.

Here I sit in the tallest tree within the whole forest, a tree that could touch the moon, a tree that can look over the whole world. While I sit on this sturdy branch, I listen if anyone is near, but all I hear is the wind whistling throughout the air; responding that I am completely alone. As I gaze into my thoughts, I find myself drifting into sleep, until shortly after woken by a Gale screaming his lungs off down below. He says the Capitol has captured my mother, sister, and Peeta’s family and has them as hostage, sentencing them to death within a matter of days. 

I hastily climbed down the never ending tree and ran we ran as if we were a pack of lions catching their prey, not stopping until we’ve caught it. I don't know what my plan is, but I have to do something, so my only choice was to find Peeta and Haymitch. All four of us decided to drive to the Capitol in Haymitch’s avocado green car that smells like the strongest alcoholic drink known to man-kind.

Once we reach the Capitol, Haymitch finds a way to get around the guards surrounding the entire building, acting like they’re protecting the most valuable person or object that will ever exist. Just as we’re entering the building, we’re spotted. They take us up to the prison cells which looks and smells like the inside of a sewer.  About an hour after being locked in cells, I hear my name being called by a voice that I recognize; my mother. I feel like the happiest person in the world, like I actually have the hope to stay alive. In the middle of stating her plan to escape, a gunshot goes off and I see her eyes grow wider and drop to the floor on her knees, with a bullet through her back and a Capitol guard standing directly behind her with the gun.

In conclusion, this scene is similar to my prediction because the entire capitol is very upset with Katniss and Peeta, and will do anything to make sure their place of control and power in everyone’s mind stands at the top. Also, my ending is a hook because in the first book of “The Hunger Games” trilogy, Suzanne Collins left it as a hook. Overall, I vastly predict that President Snow will get back at the two winners from District 12.
