Finnick Story part 6There's no telling what Mags's thinking as the train windows darken. Her face becomes unreadable. Squinting out of the window at the speeding darkness, it's impossible to see anything at all. My heart thunders in my chest as I turn to her, fighting back the growing knowledge. "Are we near the Capitol?"
She nods mutely. Marine Athica, sitting across the car from me, scowls at Klarad as he bounds into the room. I want to glower too, but I make myself smile instead, charming as much as possible. "We're almost there! Can't you just imagine imagine imaging?!" ignoring the death look form Marine, he throws an arm around her shoulders and sweeps th
Finnick's Story part 5Despite the soothing sway of the train, so like one of the fishing vessels, sleep won't come. It's impossible to even close  my eyes except to blink away the stinking sensation. There are twenty two other tributes between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Their faces are keeping my awake, haunting me, almost, because if I intend to return to District Four, those are the faces of the people I'll have to kill or watch die, at least. None of them will be able to go home if I hope to ever see Annie and Gillas again.
Sitting up, I swing my legs over the side of the bed. This isn't any way to be thinking, not when I'm so determined to charm the Ca
Rue's Death poemYou slip from tree to tree your eyes and ears alert,
Before you leap from branch to dirt,
Four little notes you whistle to the sky,
And the Mockingjays echo your cry,
They sing it to the distant sky blue,
You pause to hear them singing your little tune,
You dance along the solid ground,
Not making a single sound,
Agile and silent you head toward the pier,
So you can light the next distracting fire,
A rustle in the trees makes you halt,
Only to your own fault,
Before you can move to vanish again,
You're trapped and screaming for your last friend,
You know she'll never reach you,
As a boy steps into view,
Triumph on his face he
Sandy vs. HalloweenI know that trick-or-treating is the least of everyone's worries in the areas ravaged by the superstorm Sandy, but it's nevertheless a letdown for kids who won't be able to go anywhere fun on Halloween. If you're from a community affected by Sandy and have children aged twelve and under, please contact me through my contact form by November 1st! I'll send a little treat (not candy but other fun little things) to your kids when and where mail can safely be delivered.
Info we're going to need to make this happen:
* Your name and a mailing address (please let me know if this address is okay to receive small packages at now)
* Your kids' ages (so that they get age-safe treats)
* Optional: your kids' first names (I'd like to personalize their treats if possible)
Obviously, you won't receive your treats in time for Halloween, but everything will go out in the mail some time in November, depending on how long it takes to put packages together and when ma

Sweet IronyI swear to god, the second we get down to the top eight, I'll kill her myself. It's half the reason I was so keen to volunteer. Since we were twelve, and she hit puberty, she's done nothing but rattle on about clothes, and her hair, and which products would clear up my "unfortunate skin condition". And all these years, while she's been fantasizing about parades and stylists, I've been envisioning driving a spear through the invisible pimple that apparently mars her otherwise perfect forehead. If I hadn't been so distracted by the flaming morons from Twelve, I would have pushed her out of the chariot before the Games even began, consequences b

Hey ya all!

I want to collect all diffrent nicknames, the translaters in the world gave Katniss at the place of Gale.

Please send me her nickname in your language, if it's not already listed below. An explanation of the meaning would be nice!!
Thank a lot. I hope I'll be able to collect some names. This will be fun as I'm a language addict :floating:



Real name: Katniss Meaning: An herb, sagittaria, that is also called arrowhead (arrowherb in German). I like the combination of her name + skills :heart:

:new:WOW! So many answers already. Thank to ya all!! :happycry: It turned actually out diffrent than I thought. I thought that, if in my langage, her nickname differs from the English one, that EVERY nickname would differ. But this is a nice collection of catnip however :giggle:

:pointr:  Irish Gaelic: Catnip = "nip gath" in irish Gaelic
:pointr:  Japanese: Well, this one was actually pretty hard to understand, which means, I did not got it at all!! :faint: here's the original comment:
I'm sure that マタタビ(matatabi), キャットニップ (catnip) Simple copy, 木天蓼(mokutenryou), チクマハッカ(chikumahaka), or イヌハッカ(inuhaka) is Katniss in Japanese(There's a couple more, but I don't think it's too important). Each one has a slightly different meaning, but basically is the same thing. マタタビ(matatabi)(same thing as 木天蓼(mokutenryou)phrased differently)is named after the cat, because cats seemed to like it. チクマハッカ(same thing as イヌハッカ) means cat mint. I hope this wasn't too confusing...

In danish her nickname is "Katteurt", which means catnip... but then, they also changed her name to Kattua (or something in that manner) instead of Katniss.

I don't know why they did it.. they just did..

Yeah :P I remember being so frustrated by it while one of my classmates read the danish translation of Hunger Games. He would constantly ask me things like, "What do you think of that scene when Kattua is at the reaping? Pretty cool, huh?"
Meanwhile, fume would come out of my ears while muttering, "Her name is KATNISS.. not Kattua."

It's ridiculous really, but what can you do, right? Hoped it helped you anyway ;)
