I would guess that a mild environment leads to more exciting tribute on tribute action (ugh! how can that be entertainment?!). If a tribute doesn't have to fight as hard to survive his surroundings, he can put more energy into Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02939661446520073191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-43497710733226251832010-07-13T20:33:24.238-04:002010-07-13T20:33:24.238-04:00Allison, I actually have been wondering about that...Allison, I actually have been wondering about that a lot this read. IS it a coincidence? No one knows anything about the arena beforehand and HUGE MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!! LIKE, NOT EVEN FROM THIS BOOK SPOILER!!! the guy from the punchbowl incident seems to be in on something. What does he know? Did he have a hand in directing things? Has this been plotted well before we even know?

There seems to just be the careers and everyone else. Shouldn't the other tributes team up to fight the careers? I feel like the mentors should realize how much more powerful the tributes from the other districts would be as a team, and spend more time scouting out potential allies during training. <br /><br />On an unrelated note, Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691837991757884582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-860890961077170272010-07-13T14:40:54.992-04:002010-07-13T14:40:54.992-04:00Oh no!

Then again, it seems the Gamemakers like to have a heavy hand in how this game develops—what with the fire attack and very limited water supply—and a firearm might give a player too much power.<br /><br />I’m wondering about Glimmer’s inability to Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680957802498753068noreply@blogger.com
