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!

"Ok, take deep breaths, deeep breaths. Alright. You are NOT going to die. Sprint to the Cornicopia before the others and get the heck out of there. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE!!!!"
By the way, I probably won't survive. Well, That's depressing.

Well, first I would probably scream really loudly. Then I would look at the other tributes and at the Cornucopia to see who I should be allies with and what supplies I should grab. I would have trouble waiting for the gong so I would think about other things like how stupid the Capitol is for ever dreaming this up and my token and all my frinds and family back home. And from there on out I would rely on friends and instinct to get me out alive.

"No . . . this can't be happening. . . no . .." And I would probably end up getting killed.

If I was in the Hunger Games arena, I would probably freak out for a minute or two before finally gaining my composure. After eventually gaining my composure, I would get (by any means of transportation) to the cornocopia in the middle and get some food and weapons so I could start my race for survival. Along the way, I would probably try to find some useful allies. In the end, I would not go face to face with my ally, it would be too sad to see them die by my hand. I would be brave and do what was best for my friends.

A little late to this one, but I couldn't resist. I would first check out the surroundings, plan where to run, preferably where others wouldn't be as likely to head. Then I would check to see if there were any nearby items to grab and run with. I'd leave everything that was more than a few paces from me and not in the direction I wanted to go in because I'm pretty good in the outdoors with food and shelter, etc. So the main thing would be to get to the right place, alive.

Comment #39 | Posted by: pegasusdog12 on September 24, 2011 at 09:08 PM
wellllll
I would sprint like heck to get my supplies.
Then I would sprint like heck to a safe area.
Then I would sprint like heck away from any enemies.
Boy lets hope I'm in the mood for running!
Okay actually I would try to make an alliance.
Then hide it out untill everyone eliminates each other.
Then eliminate who ever's left over.
And yes it's okay is some of you copy my idea! I know it rocks!

I would be thinking something along the lines of "I gotta get out of here!"

I would be crazy with adrenaline, and I would go straight for the center of the Cornucopia. Rawr!!!
Comment #42 | Posted by: Hydrafighting5 on November 09, 2011 at 05:07 PM
I would knock out anyone in my way with my sword, and I would grab all of the supplies, and if anyone challenged me, I'd resist them.
