The Mockingjay Sings!

The past few days my older brother Gerome hasn’t done the best and I believe that he could do better. Every time after he sprints from another tribute, the tsunami or Poison Dart Frog he is gasping for air and seems dehydrated. In order for him to live through the Hunger Games he needs to be the healthiest he can be. My family has thought of sending him another silver parachute but this time it won’t be a video of us. This time it will be healthy food and water. I have decided to give him bread, fruits and vegetables and fresh ice water. The bread will fill his stomach so that he isn’t hungry and he will then perform better. Along with the bread I will give him fruit and vegetables because they are very healthy for you especially when you are on the go all of the time. The water will make sure that he is always hydrated and ready to take on other tributes. My family and I are really hoping that by spending all of this money and giving him these three things it will give him a better chance to come home and I can see my favorite brother again.

I ran to the super market in district ten to go and get some the supplies that I was going to attach to the silver parachute to give my brother Gerome. Once I got there I immediately went to the fruit section to find bright red apples and dull oranges, as well as delicious yellow bananas. Next, I went to the vegetable section and picked up green peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes. Finally, I went to go grab the loaf of bread and a pack of twelve water bottles. I then sprinted home to go and give my mom the food and water to put in the basket. She placed the water in the bottom of the basket and then gently placed the food on top so that it wouldn’t get smashed on the flight through the air to Gerome in the games. A kind man about thirty years old came to pick up the basket to attach it to the parachute and gently drop it into the arena so that Gerome can enjoy the juicy fruit and yummy vegetables and slowly enjoy ever single sip of the water. Hopefully the bread would still be warm when it gets there. Then I thought in my head, the next time I will see this basket is on television in Gerome’s hands. My family and I miss Gerome greatly and we pray every night that we will get to see him again when he is back home and healthy.
