In the book, Katniss has become the symbol of the rebel’s cause to overthrow the Capital. Sadly, Peeta has been brainwashed to believe that the Capital is good and Katniss is evil. This hurts Katniss because she truly cares for Peeta and wants to rescue him without harm. If I could change one character, I would undo the brainwashing that Peeta has been subjected to so that he can fight with Katniss instead of against her. “ ‘She’s a liar! You can’t believe anything she says...she killed my friends. She killed my family. Don’t even go near her! She’s a mutt!” (Collins 198). A mutt is an evil mutant and Peeta believes Katniss is the cause of his misery.

If i could change anything about the main character i would change the fact that he is so shy. The reason why i would say this is because all the other characters are used in more scenes than him. But somehow he is always used in them. Even though the story is not always in his point of view he is used in every part.

If i could change one thing about my book I would change how four girls use pants to reprent friendship. Why pants? why not bracelets or necklaces. I just don't understand why they would used pants. I would also change how they have to spend one summer apart. There bestfriends they shouldn't be apart." they stand for the promise we made to one another, no matter what happens we stick together."

If i could change anything i would let Cheyenne go even though she is bline i would not let her get kidnapped. "Cheyenne realized she was being kidnapped but she couldn't see the guy who was kidnapping her because for the last three years, Cheyenne had been blind". (Henry, April #3).

Why would you undo the brainwashing that Peeta is under so he could fight with Katniss?. I also think this book sounds really good.

If I could change someone from my book I would have to change Julius and his friend going to summer language learning. i would change this because him and his friend had good grades in all the main classes and they only got a f in french class. their moms find out that they can go to summer school for that and they can pass the class.

If I could change one thing about the main character Diana, it woould be how she is risking her life because she wants to be friends with Lissa. "I don't care if I die, I really want to be friends with Lissa." (Hahn 97).

Why would you change them going to summer school? Because then they can pass.
