The part of The Hunger Games I am going to analyze is at the end of the book, where Peeta and Katniss are trying to fight off the sub-human, dog like creatures. During this scene, I didn't think anything of it other than it was the Gamemakers way of bringing the three together to fight to the death. It wasn't until Katniss said and noticed there was something familiar about this animals that I started to question the ethics of the Gamemakers. Once she realized it was the eyes of the fallen tributes, I was taken aback. I feel like the Gamemakers wanted to make sure Katniss and Peeta knew and understood that the fighting was not over. When Katniss started to question if not only the eyes of the fallen tributes were apart of the animal, but their brains too; it made me wonder, since this story line is projected into the future, if the Capitol was able to keep or revive the brains of the tributes to put into these animals so they were able to understand what was going on and communicate with each other once again. If so, it would take creepy to a whole new level!

When Katniss says, "And worst of all, the smallest mutt, with dark glossy fur, huge brown eyes and a collar that reads 11 in woven straw. Teeth bared in hatred, Rue..." Looking at the quote, I wonder how Rue could be filled with hatred toward Katniss since she did ally with her and survive together. Katniss did everything she could to save her, she even killed her killer, and then sang her a song and placed beautiful flowers around Rue before the hovercraft picked her up. This part of the book gives me reassurance that, if in fact, the Capitol used the brains of the fallen tributes, they would of had to alter their minds because Rue couldn't of hated Katniss. I have been in situations vaguely similar to that of Katniss, when I see features of people I know on random strangers I see walking about. I take double takes and stare for a while wondering if it's actually the person I know or someone else. Once I realize it's someone, then I feel odd for staring but the fact that I was so sure it was a person I knew and it wasn't is creepy. I couldn't imagine what was going through Katniss' mind at the time was she came to her realization.
