Personal Narrative: The Hunger Games

I’m running as fast as I can to set the last fire for the trap. I’m beginning to think that I might have a chance of winning the Hunger Games. If this strategy works and kills all or most of the career tributes then this game will be a lot easier to win. I am so glad that I have Katniss as an ally. I miss my family back in district 11 even though it was tough living there I still had a lot of fun with my family. I know I’m safe when I’m with my family and Katniss really gave me that feeling; the feeling of being at home with my family. She makes me feel stronger and less lonely. She helps me escape from the thought of dying in this arena but slowly the thought fades away and I start to feel afraid again. I remember that this is the Hunger Games, not just a random TV show. There is only one winner and it’s either I kill Katniss or she kills me, but I would rather her kill me. She has to take care of so much like her family in district 12. If we had a choice I would let her kill me. I thought to myself, what if I get killed before I even reach the place where I set the fire? What if I get… and before I could even finish what I was thinking my legs were caught in a knot I believe was made out of rope and then a net came down and trapped me. I fall to the ground. I could feel my heart beating as fast as hummingbird’s wings flapping from flower to flower. I tried to call for help but no one answered; I felt so stupid knowing that we were all in a competition when we kill each other to win and I’m asking for help. As the moon passes by I just think about all the happy times I’ve spent with my family and the time I’ve had with Katniss. I laugh and cry while thinking about everything.

....” I hear her say. I was so happy after hearing that even though my expression wasn’t the best because of the amount of pain I was going through and with my last breath I say “You have to win.” I couldn’t hear what Katniss said after that because the pain was getting worse. In my mind at the moment, I just want to get carried away by one of those hovercrafts and just leave forever. I have never; ever in my life felt pain to this extent. But my family back in district 11 must be crying and would rather strangle themselves than watch me die on their TV screen. I want to cry right now so much. I miss them; I won’t get to see them again, ever. I wish I could have spent more time with them and I will definitely miss Katniss. I wish I got to know her a lot better. This is definitely not the way I wanted to die. A loud BANG was the last thing I heard and was gone forever.
