Predictions for Catching Fire

I predict that in the book I chose to read Catching Fire, that the victors of the Hunger games will have to rejoin the next year's games. I predict this because Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark of the first book did something at the end of the book that made the president of the districts, President Snow, very angry. They disobeyed the capital therefore making the capital look weak. I think that the president will make the go back and fight in the games because he wants to kill them for disobeying him and making him look foolish. This reminds me of the short story we read in class, Harrison Bergeron. It relates to this prediction because the government in both scenarios is editing what the citizens can see in order to look more powerful. President snow did not want the people to see Katniss and Peeta disobeying him and neither did the government in the short story.

Why I chose to read this Book

The book I chose to read is Catching Fire. I chose to read this book because I read The Hunger Games and thought that the story line and characters were interesting. I'm not the kind of person who can sit down and read all day but while reading The Hunger Games I found myself wanting to read more. I saw the movie Catching Fire and have seen The Hunger Games too and I personally liked Catching Fire more so i hope that this book is better than The Hunger Games. So i was wondering for those of you who have read both books or seen both movies, which did you enjoy more?
