In this blog I will blog about a book I have been reading. It is called Catching Fire. So far I'm not that far into the book. I'm not even half way through it yet. But so far I find this book to be exciting and suspenseful. The book goes into great detail about different events that occur in the book.
The part I'm at is where Gale is in trouble. The district police has tied his hands together and his feet together. and they keep whipping him constantly. Katniss doesn't notice until she is on her way home from going hunting in the forbidden woods. As she was walking home she saw a crowd of people all bunched up together and they were all screaming. She quickly tried to find out what was going on. People kept on telling her just to go home and not worry about what was going on but she still tried to find out anyway.
When Katniss finally fought her way to the front of the crowd she saw her best friend, Gale being whipped. She ran to see what the reason was of all this and tried to stop the guard from whipping Gale. While she was trying to stop him she stepped in front of Gale and ended up getting whipped in the face right below her right eye. The policeman finally stopped and told her the reason why Gale was being whipped was because he was caught trying to sell an animal he had killed in the woods.
It turns out that the policeman had whipped Gale more times than was actually required in the book of punishments. Gale had been whipped over fifty times. When Katniss untied Gale she saw that he was unconscious and his back was bleeding a lot and very raw. Katniss threw snow on his back to help soothe the pain and then got a few men to help carry him to her house.
