Life
Early Life
Anthony is a cunning and intelligent person. He excels in literature and history. He's always been interested in The Hunger Games despite the fact he could be reaped. He always thought it wouldn't happen to him. The odds were very small of him being reaped. It upsets him when the tributes don't kill when they have the chance. He never really had any friends until he started going to high school. He made friends with Emma Jennings, and Artemisa Snow. His friends would take him out in the woods and teach him how to use a spear. He didn't like that very much, but he did it anyway. He never saw much of his family as they were never home. His parents were always away on a ferry they own as well as his older brother. He goes to a school year around for gifted people to learn about economics and negotiation.

Reaping
Anthony walked to the reaping with his head held high knowing that the odds are in his favor for being free another year. He smiled and waved at the other citizens that could possibly be reaped. He didn't want to talk to anyone though. He's afraid of the reaping, but most people are. He listened to the escort and the mayor give a speech about the uprising and the dark days. His life had changed when one of his best friends, Emma, was reaped. He watched her walk onto the stage. He felt like he was hit in the stomach. He wasn't worried about her being reaped. He never thought it would happen. He was too busy thinking about Emma to realize that he was reaped. His name echoed inside his head for a few moments before he realized it was him. He walked to the stage swiftly like he had a purpose. He violently shook the escorts hand. He was brave enough to smirk at the camera as well as roll his eyes. He hoped an attitude like that would win him sponsors. He looked at the audience and said one thing. "This'll be fun."

Training
Anthony looked around the training center to decide which would be the best thing to train in first. He weighs all his options when he decides it would be best to work on survival skills first. He headed over to the fire starting station. He stood back watching two tributes talk back and forth. He's amazed by the fire that one of the tributes started and he decided to join in the conversation. It was at the fire starting station he decided to form an alliance with Hermione Easteallas, or at least a friendship. Anthony was already friends with Emma, and he supported Emma one hundred percent even when she tried to make friends with other tributes. He wanted to protect Emma, but his life will always come before hers.
The next day in training, Anthony looked around the training center trying to decide what to train in next. He's still thinking about survival as he looks around trying to decide what to do. He stops at plants. Plants can be the difference in life and death. Knowing which plants are edible is a really good thing one needs to know in the arena. He wasn't sure about the plants. He struggled as he tried to figure out which plants did what. Another tribute was working on plants when he decided to talk to her to get some help. All the help in the world is appreciated after all. The female tribute showed him the different plants. She also showed him which plants did what. She stated, "I wouldn't just go shoving unknown plants into your mouth to see the result if I were you."
Private Training
It came time for private training. Every tribute went through this. They would show off their skill(s) to the gamemakers to get a score. This score will be used show the sponsors which tributes have the highest possibility of winning it all. The training scores can also be used for tributes to form a list of threats. Only the tribute and the gamemakers will know what was done inside. Nerves run high as they wait their turn. Anthony goes in and shows off what he can do to the gamemakers. With his hard work, he receives the score of 10 on a scale of 1-12. He shows he's a force to be reckoned with.
Interviews
In the interview, Anthony talks bravely about how he truly feels. He answers the questions with pride, but also, he answers the questions short and sweet and to the point. He doesn't shove a bunch of words together to make him sound bigger than he already is. When he's asked how confident he feels, he answers honestly. He openly admits that he's worried about being targeted. He's also amazed that the Capitol celebrates the pageant with fireworks. The next question is one that truly hits home. He's asked about someone special. Emma, the female tribute from district Ten, came here with him. A tough situation for many knowing the outcome of the games. The last question strikes most as an amazing answer. "To the tributes, I'm going to have fun in the arena. This is my kind of game."

56th Hunger Games Arena
Bloodbath
The moment everyone is waiting for happens. The tributes rise into the arena where twenty-three will face imminent death. Nervousness is what Anthony feels. He feels like he could possibly throw up. He stands frozen staring at the cornucopia. He can't move all he's able to do is force himself to stare and look around for his alliance. He looks through the cornucopia, and his eyes stop on one weapon. The one weapon that many people are intimidated by, the cat o' nine tails. The gong sounds and Anthony is the fifth tribute to reach the cornucopia. Estella was the first tribute to attack Anthony. She attacks him with her spear leaving a shallow cut on the left calf. Ocean and Trace team up with her attacking Anthony. Anthony finally makes his first attack. He attacks Ocean throwing her to the ground. He picks up his weapon the cat o' nine tails. His jaw is broken by Estella when he decides to flee the bloodbath.
The Creek
Anthony ran from the bloodbath and headed to the creek looking for water. He was nursing his broken jaw. He was obviously in pain. The pain was almost unbearable, but somehow he managed to deal with it. He thought about his looks, how his jaw now made him not so pretty, how nobody would ever like him again. He never thought he was handsome, but it was the way he talked that grabbed other peoples attention. He arrives at the creek. He watches the blood run silently down his leg painfully. He attempts to do first aid on himself. He tries to tie his bicep up to control the bleeding. He climbs into the water and feels immediate relief. He sits down and waits for the rest of his alliance. He never excepted the other girl, Ocean, to follow him.
Death
Ocean shows up after Anthony gets done doing first aid on himself. Anthony is surprised when he sees her. He stands up and tries talking to her. He tries to explain the situation to her. He tries to talk her out of attacking him. He doesn't want to die. Then again, who wants to die? He holds up the only weapon he has for her to see. He looks at her hoping she won't attack him, but it might not be enough. His eyes open with reality. He realizes he's wasting his breathe talking to the air because Ocean can't hear him. She looked at him with eyes full of blood thirst. She raised her spear and threw it. Anthony barely had time to react as the spear pierced his eye killing him instantly. Anthony came in 19th place in the games. His obsession with the games only left him asking himself a question that will never be answered. "Why?"
