My project was a toon on the scene where the man finaly admited that he killed the old man with the vulture eye . I added the details about the house , like the creepiness , and the bed so it would look like a room . It's multi media because it was all made online with pictures and text . I didn't know how to add music, but if I did , I would have added something creepy !

Ugh !

Do we really have to start another book ! -_-

Hunger Games Research Project

In my research I focused on how genetic mutations in the real world, and genetic mutations in the Hunger Games relate. So here we go!
    
In the Hunger Games book there were genetically mutated 'Mutts' also called 'Muttations', which were the actual dead tributes. They made these mutts by mutating their cells and adding the cells of a wolf, morphing their bodies! They can stand on their hind legs like a human, and had the same eye color as the body originally being mutated. Through my research I found, of course, humans cannot be mutated into mutts, and I also found some facts that might catch your eye!
   
 Genetic mutations can be horrible or completely harmless. What are mutations you ask? Mutations are permanent changes in the sequence that makes a gene. (What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur? - Genetics Home Reference ) I have found some information that explains further on how these mutations happen in the real world.
    
 Ultra violet light, nuclear radiation, and certain chemicals can harm cells in the body and cause them to  make new proteins that might function differently in the body, which may cause a mutation. Also DNA bases (Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine) copy themselves. If these DNA bases get copied and and mixed with the wrong matching base  it can also cause a mutation in the DNA.
 ("What Causes DNA Mutations?") DNA bases are meant to be in a organized fashion ex: Cytosine and Guanine are a pair. Guanine and Cytosine do not go together with Adenine and Thymine. But Thymine goes with Adenine and not with Guanine, and Cytosine.

There are two different types of mutations. They are inherited mutations, and acquired mutations. ("Types of mutations"). [I will only explain what Acquired mutations are because this is what I believe the capital did to change the tributes into Mutts]. Acquired mutations are mutations that are caused by harmful elements of the Earth. Chemicals and nuclear radiation can give you a mutation such as excess body mass like tumors. It can change your body completely. Your tissues in your body can be changed in size and weight, leaving you with unusual masses of tissue. So stay away from nuclear plants and high amounts of radiation! In the Hunger Games, I believe that the Mutts were given their mutations, because the Capitol injected wolf cells into their bodies.
   
  I also found a story that I think is ridiculous, but I also think that it connects to the Hunger Games! It is about a girl who was taking care of her plants. She got pricked by a cactus. A couple days later she started growing thorns from her arm! The cactus started mutating her cells in the wound and the doctors couldn't get rid of it. She was basically being mutated into a cactus! (Terrible mutations may turn humans into plants or animals - English pravda.ru) All though I have no proof that this can't or can happen, I am very well sure that this is impossible. But don't take my word for it.
     

So as long as you stay away from harmful elements, and the Capitol doesn't get hold of you, you will be fine. And remember, humans cant be turned into flesh eating, bug eyed mutts or cactus's!

Hunger Games Melody

The Huner Games Poem Project

    The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games are one of a kind

Where love and trust are hard to find.

Dreams in the Arena are of blood and gore

When your battle is over,

you are bound to be sore.

Trying to hold your sanity is hard to do,

when vicious opponents are after you.

24 to be exact, one might even have an ax.

One powerful hit is in the power of a thrust.

Get your guard up, because protection is a must.

Love turns to pain

Trust quickly becomes betrayal

Sickness, and disaster coax you to fail.

You try and try to fight it all off,

but then one final hit...

Turns your life off.

                       -Leaciie

Who Would I Rather Chill With?

I would say that I would rather hang out with Thresh, because he really reminds me of my best friend/big brother in the world, Tony.
    For ex:
They both are like SUPER TALL.
They seem as if they are excellent fighters.
And just like Thresh was sorta kinda protective over Rue, Tony is protective over me since he's older than me
Plus Thresh seems like he would be beast at fighting/shooting games! :)

Hunger Games Response to Chapter 22

Well now I think that Katniss, and Peeta like each other now, well it seems like it anyway. I'm guessing that Katniss will start all this lubby dubby stuff now so that she can keep Peeta and herself fed. I wonder though, if Katniss is actually having feelings for Peeta!

My Favorite Book In The Universe!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Can We Read Already!

I was up all last night thinking about what was going to happen next in the Hunger Games! Lol like seriously that's the first time I actually thought about reading a book... I'm going to read the rest of the Hunger Games books when I'm done with this one :)... Can't wait.

Hunger Games Chapter 20 Response!

Omg! Katniss is crazy! She put Peeta too sleep against his will. I bet she is going to the Cornucopia with the rest of the tributes that are left! She might get killed, or maybe not because she is excellent with the bow and arrow, and hopefully she is smart enough to bring it with her. Maybe Katniss got the dosage wrong with the Sleep Syrup, and Peeta will wake up and try to drag himself to the Cornucopia and get himself killed! Ugh, there are so many thoughts crawling around my head like ; Is Peeta going to found by the other tributes while Katniss is gone? Is Katniss going to die while she is at the Cornucopia? Will Haymitch send the little parachute with the medicine that Peeta desperately needs? Will the medicine be in the back-pack at the feast? Did any other tributes die? Is the vicious Cato looking for Katniss?! Omg... I need answers! I need to read more!... Is Peeta going to die in his sleep because of blood poisoning!?!? This whole chapter like kind of revolved around death... :(

KATNISS WOULD BRING CHAOS TO THE HUNGER GAMES WITH THESE!

What if Katniss kills Peeta heartlessly with a smile >:). That would be a awesome ending.

Hunger Games Response

Wow.. I did not expect there to be so much drama happening. Rue dieing, Katniss' FIRST combat kill. I'm starting to actually like this book. I'm ready to read the second one already, and we're not even done with the first book! :).
 I think Katniss will just go on a complete rampage now, because Rue was like a little living memory of her sister, Prim, and then Rue got killed and that's like the main reason Katniss volunteered for Prim (because she didn't want Prim to go through all of that). I know I would do the same thing for my little sister.
  I believe that Katniss should try to find Peeta, and at least try to make an alliance, and Peeta should most definitely say sorry for being 2faced to Katniss! I was against Katniss making an alliance with Peeta at first because Peeta isn't trustworthy. Hopefully they both win, and one doesn't die. But of course Katniss will win because she's the narrator! Duh... ':) Peeta on the other-hand should watch his back.

Chapter 14 Response

Katniss got hurt really badly, and I think that she might die, or maybe not since she is the narrorator of the story. It probaly wasn't such a good idea to cut down the Tracker Jacker's nest because not only did she kill  only TWO Careers, but she also harmed herself in the process. But I do give her props for atleast thinking smart and running away.

Hunger Games Strategies

In the Hunger Games you would really need good skills and strategy. Some things you would need to know is mostly survival, of course, like making weapons, rationing foot to make them last, and finding food (hunting, and gathering). Also hiding, patience, and camouflage.

What is Beauty Quick Write

Beauty is the inner glow that shines through everyone, no matter how much makeup, skin type, of size. Everyone has beauty. Beauty is something that shows from the outside but more from within.

My Perfect World.!!

My perfect world would have no war just peace and friendship. There would be no school. My perfect world would be all my fantasies and dreams in a little bubble. My room would be themed superman, Lil' Wayne would be my husband <3.  Streams would be filled with coins, money would grow on trees! Most inportantly I would be president of my Eutopia!
