SONS, SHOES, AND SURROUNDINGS
"Mr. Beete, after the Department of War and Weapons was cut off, stayed in the capitol and advised President Haymitch. Beete would later return home in the place District 3 would have been," A boy in the last row said.
"Yes, Beete was very important in making the people familiarized with technology of the capitol," Explained Miss Summers, "How about Mrs. Cresta?" This question had taken some people back quite a bit. Finally a girl in the front answered.
"Cresta went back to District 4 and had a son. His name was Finn, after his father. I was told he looked exactly like him too. All Annie ever did was look after him, she was a great mother." Miss Summers nodded and continued:
"Delly Cartwright remained in District 12 and persisted that shoes were running absent in the new Republic. Her brother and her continued to make shoes, and then married a man who was as cheerful and enthusiastic as she. While her hero was Katniss, in the end she was the shining star that led people out of their depression to the real world.
She became a teacher and raised children abandon by the war. She was not able to have children, so she helped out anyone in need." Miss Summers looked around her class again. So much has happened in the last hundred years, and while everything was happy and well now, these children were learning to handle the lost generation. She often thought about the war and what it was like to be around back then and realized, simply, that she could not.
Next was one of the kids' favorites: Johanna Mason.
"Miss Mason never did overcome her fear of water, and spent most of her time safe on land in District 7. Johanna never did marry. Instead, she found love with her surroundings. She was one of the first to lead a brigade to explore the lands around the Republic. She was active and made maps and found friends from different lands and foreign jungles."
"She was last seen in the far plains of the South. Apparently she started walking and kept going. She said before departing that she needed to find something."
Miss Summers nodded. Somehow she knew that Johanna found it.
