The Hunger Games

Striking quote: "I'll go finish her and let's move on"(p. 160)

 That saying was shocking because it was said by Peeta who said he loves Katniss in the interview which was done before the game. Katniss heard that voice by a chance during the hunger game. That quote means Peeta betrayed Katniss, and he will try to kill her. I thought he is not that kind of person, so it was shocking when I read that quote. So, I am anticipated about the next story of the book.

The hunger games

 There was an interview for participants to introduce themselves. Katniss talked about the reason why she volunteered for her sister. Peeta said he was sad because he could not meet his lover after the game even though he won the game. He lied that his lover is Katniss. Because of his lying, Katniss and Peeta could get attention from the audience and game makers.

 Do you think that white lie can be justified in any situations?

 I do not think Peeta's lying is not white lie, but I think it is related because that is for both Peeta and Katniss.
