The Tell Tale Heart

The Hungere Games

In the Hunger Games they had mutations. They mutated bees, dogs and food!

What are mutations? ("What Is a Mutation?" Learn.Genetics™. ) A mutation is a chang in the DNA sequence of a gene. There are different types of mutations. Some are Synonymouse, Nonsynonymouse, Point mutations and Genetic Engineering (Loewe). Synonymouse mutations are when many amino acid's sequence are encoded by lots of condons. Nonsynonymouse mutations is when an amino acid's sequence is changed. Point mutations are the smallest mutations. They happen when one single base pair is changed into another base pair. Genetic Engineering moves genes from one organism to another. Mutations can either be harmfull, Beneficial or neutral, It depends on why and where their located. In the Hunger Games, most of the mutations where harmfull. They mostley wanted to kill the players! mutations are harmfull, Most of the time. 37 people have died and 1500 people were partially paralysed! People mutate food too ("Genetic Engineering.").The problem with that is that when people mutate it , they don't test it to make sure it's safe to eat. This is dangerouse because mutated food can cause people to have an allergic reaction to it and they can die.

Something i would like to know is "Why do people mutate when it's so dangerouse?".

The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games Chapter 22

I think I'm most like Rue.(:
Rue is sweet and nice. she seems like the kind of person that will be friends with you no matter what.
She sounds like a nice 12 year old. It's nice how she was acually helping Katniss , too bad she had to die .>_< I'm sure that if she hadn't died , She would help Katniss win the Hunger Games.
   Peeta and Katniss have something going on.(: Well , now I do think Peeta likes Katniss , but i don't think Katniss likes Peeta. I think Katniss still likes Gale. She's just pretending to like Peeta to servive. The story about how Peeta started likeing Katniss probably made Katniss like him a little though.(: I didn't know Peeta's dad liked Katniss's mom . Thats sweet :D. Good thing is they didn't get married because that would cause a problem.
I hope Katniss and Peeta win the Hunger games !:D

Hunger Game Reading Responce.

Peeta is dieing and he doesn't want Katniss to leave him one minute alone. Poor kid, i bet he feels really bad. Why didn't he want Katniss to train with him in the first place ? I wonder if he felt like if he trained with her , his feelings for her would grow more and he wouldn't be able to concentrate in the games. He never realy showed any interrests in her till now. he also told Katniss to tell him a story, HA!XD Maybe he felt like a story would relax him more. It's crule how Katniss tried to lie to him when she gave him that Medicine. When he wakes up , She'll be dead for sure . XD He's probablt never gonna trust her again. Hmm , We'll just have to wait and see.

The Hunger Games. Chapter 18 :D

So chapter 18 is Very exciting!(:

Poor Rue died and so did the boy from district 1. I think Rue's death is going to change Katniss for a while because Rue deminded Katniss of Prim. I know Katniss would feel really sad and depressed if something happened to Prim and thats probably why Katniss is turning cold hearted. I hope Katniss and Peeta win the hunger Games :D. If they both win , they won't have to kill eachother. hmm , i accually think Peeta does like Katniss and He wouldn't like to hurt her. I'm so glad they made a new rule :D (Two people could win this year). they probably made that rule because since Peeta said he liked Katniss , they didn't want to see him hurt his crush , or Peeta probably asked them is they could make that rule. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO WINS !!:D

Strategies.

Chapter 10-11 of The Hunger Games. These chapters are VERY interesting and exciting ! The Hunger Games have begun and they (the players) have to find a way to survive. She saw the rest of the players running towards the Cornucopia and she wanted to do the same. She saw a bow and arrows and was working her way towards it when she ran up to another player. Apparently that player had gotten hit and vomited blood all over her face. When she got up to the bow and arrows, she noticed a chick was going towards her with a knife. she ran to the woods and the knife got caught on her book bag. She was SO lucky she survived the first day of the Hunger Games. Late that night , she noticed almost half of the players had died already and she was wondering if Peeta had died too. She saw the images of the people who died, she noticed Peeta was still alive. Later, while she was on top of a tree sleeping (to hide from dangerous animals) she heard a CRACK !! ..  She looked over to see what was going on. She saw it was a girl, and behind her was a group of people. The people where the other players. They had came together to kill people, one by one. before she could do anything to react, she saw the girl get killed and out from behind came Peetas voice.
-!#@?:) I Don't want to stop reading.

What is Beauty ?

Beauty is being kind to others even if they're not your friends. Beauty isn't always physical. Most people have a different Prospective of beauty. To some people, Beauty is wearing eye liner, Lip stick and having the newest trends. For some people beauty is How nice you are with others. You can look good and be really mean and be considered ugly or you could look Bad but be really nice and be concidered Beautiful. (: Outer beauty catches the eye, but inner beauty captures the heart.
