Tone and Mood-Catching Fire

Hunger Games-Catching Fire

     I would say that the mood at the beginning of this book is tense. For example, in the very first paragraph, the narrator says "my muscles are clenched tight against the cold". So immediately indicates that the narrator is already very tense. As you go on reading you find out that the narrator Katniss Everdden is the focus of the story, but it also revolves around Peeta Melark, Haymich, Gale, her mom, sister and  the capitol, a city filed with people that control everything, including the main character. Even though everyone that lived under the control of the capitol is tense, Katniss is the most high strung and tense of all of them. She is like that because she has more to hid from the capitol than everyone else, she hunts illegally, shes not in love with who she is supposed to be in love with, peeta and she hates everything about them.
