Inviso's Survivor references are making me so hot right now.
Chapter 8
Pages 103-113
“Guess they liked your temper,” he says. “They’ve got a show to put on. They need some players with some heat.”
Summary:
Our little scrapper is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at this point. She pretty much knows for a fact that she’s about to get her ass handed to her on a platter by the Capitol, and she’s got it on good authority that her quack mommy and little sis are also about to be vaporized for her insubordination in the Training Center with the Gamemakers. Needless to say she pretty much flips everyone off and manages to make it to her room before breaking down. That’s right Kat, never let them see you cry.
Finally, Kat is coxed out of her misery by her overwhelming need to eat all the food, so she wanders out to the dining car. Peeta talks about throwing things, but no one really cares. All eyes are on Kat and wtf happened. After some reassurances from Effie, Haymitch, Peeta, and the stylists that they’re not going to lynch her in the street, Kat and the gang move to see the training scores the Gamemakers have given on TV. The range goes from 1-12. 1 being a pile of literal crap, 12 being a God among men. Peeta gets an 8, which he seems pleased with. I just laugh at him, because the little 12 year old from District 11 gets a 7. That’s right Peeta, you’re only slightly better than an 80 pound, 12 year old girl. How does that make you feel? Kat is sure she’s gonna get the lowest score of any of the contestants, but holy crap! What’s this?! An 11? ****. Just. Got. Real.
Kat has some dreamy dreams about her girlfriend Gale and murdering rabbits, and finally we make it to breakfast. Kat and Peeta need to be coached for their on air interviews, but wait! A new development has occurred! Peeta has requested to be trained separately from Katniss. So much for the buddy system. I’m pretty sure this is only because he doesn’t want her to see how inadequate he truly is until she is forced to slit his throat.
Thoughts:
Man the chapters in this book are short!
I have to admit, the book had me going for a second. I wasn’t really sure how they’d play Kat’s defiance of the Gamemasters. I figured her score would probably either be really low like she was expecting, or really high. Guess they went with really high. Looking forward to the interviews, it’s nice to see Kat get outside her own head for a while. I also like how she never apologizes for what she does. And even when she thinks **** is about to go down, she’s really only worried about her family. I have to admit, she’s a bad ass so far.
