the hunger games

The book I read was the huger games' chose the hunger games because I read the review on the paper to choose the book and this book stood out the most to me. The hunger games are about a girl named katiniss and a boy named peeta. To katniss and peeta have to go into an arena and try to hunt for food, water and find shelter on their own. They have to kill people from the other districts in order to win. Well katniss and peeta get split up. Katniss ends up finding a girl named rue and they became friends. Katniss asked rue to be her allay and the split up. A few days later katniss hears a yell, it was rue. As soon as she heard the frightening noise she went to find her, just in case she brought a bow and arrow and a knife. When she found rue she saw a boy killing her. So katniss grabbed her bow ready and shoots him in the neck, and his died. Katniss took rue out of the net and a spear in her stomach. Then rue had asked katniss to sing to her until she died. While katniss was singing she dies and she buried rue with flowers. When katniss goes back to where her shelter is she finds peeta. When she saw him he was covered in bruises and cuts. Then she took him and changed him into new clothes and cleaned him up. Then she saw that peeta had a fever, she gave him some medicine then his fever went down, but it's not all better.

The conflict of the story is when katniss finds that peeta is dying. Katniss does everything she can to save his life and in time what she had done helps him. Peeta ends up fine and in the end the quote is "you're not going to die." I told him firmly

I did like the book because at times it Is super scary. Imagine how terrifying it is to die very painfully. Also how nerve wracking it is with all these questions stuck in my head "will katniss die or win?" "It peeta going to be okay?" I would recommend this book to people who like books with life taking riscks, People who like scary stories
