The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

By: Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games , by Suzanne Collins, is a story about a corrupt government that chooses a boy and a girl from each district so they can put them in a arena to fight to the death. Katniss Everdeen is a girl who's father died when she was young and had to take care of her family. She has a sister named Primrose and her mother Mrs. Everdeen cant tend to her family because her husbands death still haunts her. On the reaping day, which is when the boy and the girl is chosen, Katniss's sister Primrose was chosen. But Katniss couldn't let her go to the hunger games so she volunteered for her instead. The boy who was chosen was Peeta Mellark, he was the son of a local baker in district 12.

Katniss reminds me of a solider because she will always take care and protect anyone even of she doesn't know them. She acts courageous like a solider and doesn't care what the consequence is of her actions is. She is tough like a solider and is a natural born leader. She also reminds of a rebel because she talks and disagrees with her own government.

If I were Katniss at this point, I would train my hardest to try to win because that is the only chance that I'm going to see my family again. I would also try to unite a team during the games instead of going by myself. I was also confused why Katniss's Dad died. I thought there was supposed to be a warning that the mine might explode or be unstable.
