This book seems to be a little far fetched. The author seems to be looking for adventure whenever he writes. I say this because Greyson has done some pretty adventurous things that a normal kid; I feel, wouldn't do if they were in the same situation. I get that you have to make the book interesting, but some events aren't very realistic. Although this is true, I still love the other aspects of the book.

I sympathize with Greyson because of the fact that he doesn't have a dad, he is being hunted down by terrorists and he realizes that he's probably going to die. Another reason why I can even sympathize with Greyson because of how much inner-thinking B.C Tweedt writes. It is so helpful to understand exactly what the main character is thinking.

B.C Tweedt uses a common technique of inner thinking. He uses this especially when Greyson thinks strongly about something. For instance, in the cafeteria when Greyson lost his hat, he thought to himself about the two mean workers and called them, "SquareJaw and Mantis"

I was surprised when Katniss got very mad a Peeta because Katniss is a vicious, not always the nicest type of person. When Peeta is always so cheery and kind to Katniss. Katniss clearly thinks that Peeta doesn't understand what Katniss is going through. That's why Katniss got so angry at Peeta.

Katniss reminds me of myself in some ways because she is very determined at different points in the story. One time this happened was in the first book when she was tasked with going into the Games and having to kill to stay alive. She felt sympathy for the families of the victims that she killed. 10/14 - 10/19

I can picture in my mind what the author mas trying to explain when he said that the mirror was right next to the gramma and she wasn't fogging the mirror, so she wasn't alive.

According to the text on the page, the boy is scared out of his mind. His gramma is sitting on the bed, not doing anything, and he is home alone by himself, with his gramma.

My ideas are complicated, on one hand, the man his rambling on about his life being horrible out in the woods. Having to amputate his food because he couldn't find enough food. But the thing is that he isn't giving me much context about what is going on. It's like he's expecting us to already know how he got to being homeless. It's just very confusing right now.

My ideas are so complicated, on one hand, I think that the characters in all of the short stories are loyal to each other, but on the other hand, they aren't. There are so many times when I'm just like, what is going these peoples heads? Somone is being eaten alive and you're just standing there doing absolutely nothing. Jeez, what has the world come to?
