Diary of Haymitch

Sara and I chose to do this diary because we both found the character of Haymitch very interesting. I always wanted to know what went on inside his head, how he felt about having to mentor all these kids, and what better way than to create it yourself? The book is such an intense book, that it was really exciting to write from Haymitch's point of view, especially when he is such an important character. I read all I could about Haymitch, to get a better grasp of his character traits. I tried to imagine why he would let himself go to such waste. I really think this diary entry shows how the Hunger Games has been such an emotional blow for Haymitch, and we think it is like this for all of the past victors. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger.
