Catching Fire by Susanne Collins


Hunger Games is the first in a trilogy. The sequel is due out on 9/1/09. Make predictions about what will happen next. Consider the symbolism of fire in District 12's theme, and the fact that the title of the next book is Catching Fire.
Will Katniss accept her role as teacher for the next set of District 12 participants? How will her relationships with her mother, Prim, Peeta, and Gale change? Will Peeta reveal his "true colors"? How will the Capitol react to her victory and to the media's response to her? Post any predictions you have for discussion!

  1. Gale will profess his love to Katniss, but the hunger games experience has changed her so much that the only person who really understands her is Peeta, so she turns to him. I think Peeta really is a nice guy, and I like it when the nice guy comes out ahead. So my vote is for Peeta, may the best man win!

  3. I was thinking the Katniss would reveal her true feelings and experiences with the hunger games. Her disgruntled feelings would spread throughout the district, and they rebel against the capital.

  4. Does the title mean that Katniss and District 12 will “catch fire” for her rebellious nature, or does it mean that Peeta and Gale will both try to catch “fire” AKA Katniss, or does it mean that Katniss will spread her discontent to her district and they will catch her “fire” or enthusiasm? Hmmmmm.
