Since last time I have only read 50 pages but so much happened in those 50 pages. Katniss and Peeta took a train to the capital city where they are put in a large practicing facility before the games begin. The relationship between Katniss and Peeta can be described as unpredictable and manipulative. I use these words to describe their relationship because and example of unpredictable is when Peeta is very quiet and non responsive to Katniss and the first thing out of his mouth, "You look pretty". This is funny because he says nothing and out of nowhere he tells Katniss she is pretty. Its also an unpredictable relationship because one minute they are friends and the next Katniss thinks of ways he is trying to get her to like him and then he will kill her in the games. The same with Peeta because he believes she is only being nice so he is an easier target in the games.
The relationship is manipulative because since they both believe the other person is only being nice to make them an easier target, they begin to manipulate the other person into different situations. For example, a man named Max is a drunk and one night on the train he throws up all over himself. He needs cleaning up and Peeta surprisingly volunteers to help clean him up. He only did this to make Katniss think that he is a good person and wouldn't kill her in the games. She realizes this and is smart enough no to give into his charm and keeps a clean head. This is an amazing book so far and a very well written novel, I can't wait to read more.
