March 15 2012

So i have read chapters 23 to 27. So these are the last chapters of my book it actually went pretty well. So haymitch just sent katniss and peeta a good job gift from the capitol. So there are 3 tributes left in the arena which are Katniss, Peeta, and cato. do you think they will finally come face to face? katniss is relieve that she doesn't have to face Cato alone. But kato is running toward peeta and katniss. Katniss is shooting her arrows while peeta is doing his knives. wow! he is crazy to run toward them knowing that they are trying to protect each other. but then katniss notices that hes not running toward them he is running away from them and dangerous creatures called mutts. while fighting off the mutts on top of the cornucopia. So peeta and katniss just got out of the arena and were both crowned victors. but they aren't out of danger yet. Katniss and peeta finally head back to district 12, but are they going to live in victor's village happily ever after? Of course not. So how do peeta and katniss leave things? Does she really love him outside the arena? can't wait to read catching fire.

10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR READING

In the modern age of information, reading truly is a fundamental survival skill. Here are ten tips that anyone can use to improve their reading skills:

1. You don't have to be a great reader to get the point.

Some people read fast and remember everything. Others read slowly and take a couple of times to get all the information. It doesn't matter, really, so long as when you read, you get the information you're seeking.

2. Know WHY you're reading.

Are you reading for entertainment or to learn something? Decide why you're reading before you start and you'll greatly improve your comprehension and your enjoyment.

3. You don't need to read everything.

Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this will double the amount of time you have available to read.

4. You don't need to read all of what you DO read.

Do you read every article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you're probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don't need.

Be choosy: select the chapters and articles that are important. Ignore the rest.

5. Scan before you read.

Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, etc. These will help you determine if, a) you have a real interest in this reading, and b) what information you're likely to get from it.

6. Prioritize your reading.

You can't read everything all at once (and wouldn't want to). If it's important, read it now. If it's not, let it wait.

7. Optimize your reading environment.

You'll read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that's comfortable for you.

8. Once you start, don't stop!

Read each item straight through. If you finish and have questions, go back and re-read the pertinent sections. If you don't have questions, you got what you needed and are ready to move on.

9. Focus.

Remember, you're reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your hand. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration.

10. Practice!

The more you read, the better reader you'll become (and smarter, too)! So, feed your mind: read!
