Catching Fire

     Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire; or is she? Yes I would read another book with these characters because I love the chemistry they have, and how they’ve evolved together. Peeta, Haymitch, and Katniss have been through their own kind of hell, and they experienced it with one another. If they can work as one, and grow the way they already have with each other, I think it would be really interesting to read about them in a different kind of book. Maybe a book written by Nicholas Sparks, something completely opposite of Catching Fire. Seeing how Peeta and Katniss would react with each other while they didn’t have to compete with one another for survival would be engaging. However, I think if they were in a different book, it would have to be a series. I’ve grown to be very fond of these two, and even Haymitch. I could not just read one book about them. No matter how boring it may be. A new environment may clash for these three I’d like to know how they would overcome a new situation. Living in a carefree world, like today would be such a contrast compared to Panem. From how Katniss acts in the book, I don’t really believe she would be able to adjust to living in the now. However, I think Peeta and Haymitch would struggle, but work through it. They’re both very good at knowing when they have to act like everything is okay. Also, in a book from Nicholas Sparks, it’s usually about love, and even though there is quite the love story in Catching Fire the obstacles they have been through and continue to face are no where near anything from The Notebook or The Lucky One. In those kind of books, two people fall madly in love and have some sort of problem to overcome. Where in Catching Fire Katniss doesn’t know her true feelings for Peeta, and they’re forced to be together every hour of the day. They also had to fight against each other, to kill, so they could live. The extremes are much different in these two types of books, and that’s why I think it would be intriguing to read them in a different setting, plot, theme, book.

HMS Princess Margaret,

          O Captain, My Captain ,
As the top student at Princess Margaret in grade eleven. Okay, who are we kidding?! As your average, lazy grade eleven student, I understand that you’re going to have to make a very difficult decision. No worries, your highness I’m here to take all your worries away. I know that everyone else has told you how worthy they are, but they’re all liars. No one is worthy enough for someone as superior as you. But please, let me tell you that as lovely as you are, your a-- .. butt is going to be thrown into jail when you come out of this. Now, let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ashley Lariviere, but you already knew that. I bet you didn’t know that I’m going to be Canada’s top lawyer. Oh, and here’s another plus for you, I’m going to major in criminology! Not good enough for you? I’ll work for free for you, just because the kind lady you are, let me live. Is this still not convincing you? Okay, well let me break it down for you. 25 to life for murder of the first degree, plus an additional 2 years for every dead body. Not good at math? That’s 54 extra. Altogether that’s 79 years. And I mean, we aren’t getting any younger.. Life’s looking pretty good for you though eh? That was sarcasm in case you didn’t catch on. With me, Ashley Lariviere representing you, I can guarantee you that all of your problems will be taken care of. You’ll live a care free life, with no criminal record, or jail time. I hope I’ve made your life-ruining-jail-till-I-die choice easier for you.

                                                          Yours Dearly,

                                                                            Ashley Lariviere

Ashley Who?

     After getting her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, the first thing Ashley decided to do was to tweet. "I GOT ACCEPTED TO HOGWARTS!!!" Ashley has a passion for the website Twitter, like the love of a mother would have to her new born son. People in the muggle world love to read her tweets. With 128 followers, she has to keep them updated somehow when she leaves to the magical world. With her purple suit cases, to match her favourite colour, she heads on her way to Platform 9 3/4. As Ashley is an emotional girl, she starts to tear up while saying good-bye to her very loved brother, who is bald, Shawn. On the train to Hogwarts, Ashley stumbled apon a young chap, Sayre Potter. She took quite the fancy to his last name, and he did to hers. After a few hours of talking about how excited they are to take French and how they'll "Skype" all the time, they decided they would switch their last names. Ashley Lariviere, became Ashley Potter. Sayre Potter became Sayre Lariviere. A few months past, and Christmas, Ashley's favourite holiday came around. She mostly worked at Subway during the holidays to save up enough money to go to Shanghai, China during her summer off. It was always her dream to go there. Although she hated working there more than the hate Superman has for Lex Luther. While learning some pretty cool spells, she used the spell "wingardium leviosa", the levitating spell to move things in her dorm room around, because she's too lazy to actually move herself. The end of the year came a little bit to quickly for Ashley, but she was happy with her year, and happy that she found herself an amazing friend, Sayre Lariviere. Before they said good-bye for the summer, Ashley said to Sayre "Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."
