Reaping Post: Primrose

Prim wakes up knowing that today it the first day that she will be entered into the reaping. Although she only has her name in once she can’t help but feel scared. Her main thought is of her sister Katniss who has her name entered in twenty-four times. She holds on to Katniss’s hand as they walk to reaping to be signed in and lined up. They don’t stand next to each other but find each other and lock eyes. they face the front when Effie Trinket, the woman from the capital that will be drawing the names, walk to the microphone  and says she will begin by selecting a name from the bowl with the girl’s names. They all watch her walk to the bowl and then back to the microphone, after opening the paper with the name inside she reads Primrose’s name. For a moment Prim stands in disbelieve then starts walking toward the stage. She then hears Katniss shouting out “I volunteer” she turns to tell Katniss “no” but then Katniss grabs prim and puts her behind her. Gale comes and picks Prim up and takes her to her mother. Effie calls Katniss on stage and asks her to tell her name, Katniss look out at the crowd and says, “Katniss Everdeen.”
