Two more things about The Hunger Games.

1) Katniss and Peeta deciding "they're not hungry" when they're en route to the games.  Why?  Wouldn't they want to eat to boost their strength?  Isn't it better to start on a full -- maybe even stuffed -- stomach, when food is provided in excess?  Especially Katniss; if she's dedicated to seeing her sister again, wouldn't she do whatever it takes (outside of compromising her pride/dignity) to gain a fighting chance?

2) Am I the only one who wants to see this guy's story?


Not only was he NOT the first one to die (by virtue of being the black guy), but he steps in and saves the day -- dramatically and viscerally -- just when Katniss needs him most.  Maybe there's some fanfiction about him somewhere on the net...
