Write On! Hunger Games Writing Prompt
Can't wait for The Hunger Games movie? Are you a Hunger Games fanatic? Suppose you've finished the books. . . and can't imagine how to pass the time until the movie?
Well, we've got a fix for you in this week's Write On! Writing Prompt. It comes from marytonga who asks:
You're in the Hunger Games. What are your thoughts as you wait to run into the Arena?
Wow, that’s a tough one. MY first thought would probably be “Get me the heck outta here!!!” If I gained my composure, maybe I’d try to see what resources I could grab to use later on. Then I’d run as far as I could to an area that looked semi-safe.
What about you guys? Leave your answer for marytonga in the Comments below!
--Ratha, Stacks Writer
That is a difficult question...
And I probably sound like a coward from this...
"I am not going! No, absolutely not. I wish I had an invisibility cloak."

I'd probably be thinking: Omg, how did I get here and how will I stay alive?
Or: Okay, just concentrate. Focus on what you have to do. Have faith that God has a plan in this.

I SAW THE WORDS HUNGER GAMES
Okay. I will do this :)
I'd be thinking something along the lines of:
"Okay. Stay calm. Assess the Cournicopia. Should I run for anything? Where are the people I want to ally with! Oh, no, don't drop your token! Okay. Position yourself. DON'T SHIFT TOO MUCH stay calm just stay calm stay calm wait for the gong follow what your mentor said and STAY CALM. Breathe...breathe...wait for the gong...stay calm."

First, I think that that is a GOOD book.
OK. I would think to myself: Get supplies. Run. Get supplies. Run. I would feel really terrified, but know I have to keep my cool. If plan A doesn't work, plan B is: Run. Run. Just get outta here. It's amazing how Katniss gets out of there alive!!!

Comment #12 | Posted by: loonylnelliegohyeah on September 12, 2011 at 07:30 PM
I'd be in panic! I have to think about food & water, not getting killed, the weather, and my supplies! I'd try to stay alive, get as many supplies as I can, be near water but at the same time be somewhere safe.

well, i would look at the tributes before hand, make aliences, with people who have skills that i dont have. I would also figure out my biggest threats. Once in the arena, i would evaluate the situation, think of the things i need to survive and a try to find them in the cornacopia. Then i would look for wepons that i know how to use well( a machete, a bow and arrow, and some knives, and rope). Then i would look around the tribute circle and try to locate alies and threats, then grab my stuff as soon as the gong rings, and head twards high ground that is also heavilly wooded. Then i would find a warer source, then shelter(after running for a few miles with my alies). The next day i would start to figure out a food source, then take out my allies in their sleep once i get some info and skills out of them first.

I'd die but my first thought would be
" How did i get in here!"
Comment #17 | Posted by: SilverFairy1 on September 12, 2011 at 09:37 PM
I would probably be hyperventalating,or imagining my unbelievably horrif soon-to-be death. Then I'd probably be thinking of m besties.

i'd be making a strategy and then run get my weapon of choice and a pack then make some traps to capture tributes and save my district partner.
Comment #24 | Posted by: skimboarding on September 13, 2011 at 09:15 PM
I would run, and then come back later and get some of the left over supplies. Then I would run and stay out of everyone's way because I wouldn't want to kill anybody or be killed.
