Journal Topics

(Choose ONE, give it a title, and write!)

1. What would you do if you were attacked by flying fireballs? Ms. Carlson would probably just sit down and cry. Or maybe she'd activate her FRFF (Flame-Retardant Force Field).

2. Do you think your personality is more like Prim's (a really good healer - calm and focused when someone is injured or sick) or Katniss' (queasy at the sight of blood and sick people)?

3. Write a short story about a nice Track Jacker (one of the Capitol's crazy "muttations" whose stings make people hallucinate) named Jack who doesn't actually want to sting people.
