Funny or Memorable Quotes (from the Hunger Games)
OKAY..."Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you."
I love this part, where Katniss was singing to Rue as she died. It didn't like, make me cry, but it seriously made it hard for me to breathe.
"You’ve got about as much charm as a dead slug."
--Haymitch
"Now he's [Cinna:] arranging things around my living room: Clothing, fabrics, and sketchbooks with designs he's drawn. I pick one up and examine one of the dresses I supposedly created.
'You know, I think I show a lot of promise,' I say.
'Get dressed, you worthless thing.'"
"'Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?' I say.
'It must be. The sensation's completely new. How have you managed it all these years?' he asks.
'Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it,' I say.
'Not if I keep looking at you.'"
"Two [Peacekeepers:] pin Cinna's arms behind him and cuff him while the third hits him in the temple with such force he's knocked to his knees. But they keep hitting him with metal-studded gloves, opening gashes on his face and body.... The Peacekeepers ignore me completely as they drag Cinna's limp body from the room. All that's left are the smears of blood on the floor."What happened to Cinna? Now you know.
"You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him."and
this part:
i lie with my head in Peeta's lap, making a crown of flowers while he fiddles with my hair, claiming his practising his knots. after a while, his hands go still, "what?" i ask.
"i wish i could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever" he says
very beautiful.
"Well, I don't have much competition here," he says.I want to draw away, to close those shutters again, but I know I can't. It's as if I can hear Haymitch whispering in my ear, "Say! Say it!"
I swallow hard and get the words out. "You don't have much competition anywhere." And this time, it's me who leans in.
A scene to remember: CF pg96-97
"He tilts his forehead down to rest against mine and pulls me closer. His skin, his whole being radiates heat from being so near the fire, and i close my eyes, soaking in the warmth. I breathe in the smell of snow-dampened leather and smoke and apples, the smell of all those wintry days we shared before the games. i dont try to move away. why should i, anyway? His voice drops to a whisper." here it comes! "I love you." skips ahead.......... "I come up with what must be the worst possible response" you kill me katniss...."I know"
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH KATNIS YOU KIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean peeta just buts into her life and she has to "like him" GOOOOOOOOO TO GAAALLLLLLLLEE!!!!!!!!!
I like Gale and all that, I mean, he's Katniss' best friend. But I'm all for Peeta and I have to defend him. ;D"And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread."
- Katniss Everdeen; The Hunger Games; Chapter 27, pg. 297
"'Your family needs you, Katniss,' Peeta says. My family. My mother. My sister. And my pretend cousin Gale. But Peeta's intention is clear. That Gale really is my family, or will be one day, if I live. I'll marry him. So Peeta's giving me his life and Gale at the same time. To let me know I shouldn't ever have doubts about it. Everything. That's what Peeta wants me to take from him. . . . 'No one really needs me,' he says, and there's no selfpity in his voice. It's true his family doesn't need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me."
- Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melark; Catching Fire; Chapter 24, pgs. 351-352
The second quote just brakes my heart. But it made me love Peeta even more. ;D
Oh, that's cool. One day i went like 60 hours up with eight hours of sleep. I was coming off of Christmas break. I hate how school makes you do these things.
I can't find any quotes. :(
It's because I lent Catching Fire to my friend. She's reading it for the first time, and whenever I give her a book, we always read together and eat something cheesy.
Today it was Kraft Mac-and-Cheese crackers.
Last time it was cheese chex mix.
that sounds amazing. I'm actaully a really slow reader... but i remember most of what i read in detail so... i hate eating cheetos and getting the pages of a book dirty! so anoying.
I hate that to. I love the library but i swear they hate me. I get masive fines. like, i've given them at least 30 dollars in fines over the past three years. wait... they love me. they probably get raises after i come around.
i borrow from teachers and friends the most tho and they start getting aggitated when the find orange marks oin all the pages
