First Paragraph:
“Let the 73rd Hunger Games begin!”
Claudius Templesmith’s voice echoed through the Capitol, from a multitude of places in and around the Games Headquarters. The Games starts, but for the first minute, everyone waits. Finnick tightens his jaw at the scene. The countdown begins. Thirty seconds. People are whispering, giddy with excitement. Twenty seconds. They jostle around to get a clearer view of the screen; nobody wants to miss the beginning of the games, especially the kills around the Cornucopia. Crazy, all of them. Ten seconds. Everyone is silent, even holding their breath. Zero. Finnick can just make out the two District 4 tributes. They battle their way to the Cornucopia.

First paragraph: She doesn’t seem as fragile and sweet as people said she was in the arena, thinks Finnick. Her eyes have a darkness in them that reminds Finnick of the community kids whose parents are both dead. Those are the types that apparently have had to defend themselves against bullies both young and old. That’s what Johanna Mason looks like to Finnick. And he is right in thinking so. He’s never spoken to her, but he remembered that during her interview. She really is from the community home, he thinks to himself.
