Chapter 17- Creating

Imagine you have just seen someone murder someone you care about. How would you feel? What would be your first instincts? Would you kill the murder as Katniss did?

    I would get revenge. When I get really mad i sometimes go a tad bit crazy so I can't imagine what seeing someone dear to me being murdered might do. After the rage and mindlessness had passed I would feel remorse for what I'd done. Killing this person would bring me down to a level not much higher than the murderer.

    If someone I care about was murdered, I would probably feel shock, then denial, then numbness. I would be the one who sat by the window and is vacantly expressionless. Revenge really is not my thing. I would cry, I would sleep, I would lose feeling. As for first instincts, I would probably throw myself against the killer, but in my daze I would not do any damage. I can't imagine killing someone. Even in that adrenaline fueled state, I would know that to kill would only make matters worse. Good question, Caroline. It really made me think.

    In the moment I would probably kill or try to kill the murderer. I would want to caress the loved one and never let them go. I would want become immune to all senses and only be aware or memories. I think if it was someone I really cared about, I would definitely want revenge but I am not sure that I would have to courage to take action after what they did to that loved one.

    I do not think I would kill the murderer. Instead, I would want great pain to come to them through guilt. I would want the murderer to have to live with the shame and remorse. In the moment of a friends death, I would think nothing of the murderer. I would want to savor the last moments with my friend, and I would need to get control of my emotions.
    A friend of mine passed away several years ago, and I still feel sorrow when I think of her. I think it would be even harder if I witnessed her death.
