Hunger Games

The book I read is called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.This book is about a 16 year old
old girl named Katniss living in a country named Panem.Panem is the ruins of North America in
the future.There are 12 districts in Panem including the Capitol that rules the districts.Every year
the Capitol has somthing called The Hunger Games .The Hunger Games is were all of the
districts fight each other for survival and who ever wins gets food for thier district.The Capitol
makes you send a boy and a girl from each district from 12-18 years of age.The Hunger Games
were made to remind the districts never to go against the Capitol again,therefore they made
The Hunger Games as punishment to the districts.Katniss lives in district 12(which is kind of
poor)where she hunts animals in the woods(which is illegal)for food for her family.Katniss has
a 12 year old sister named Prim and a mother.Her dad died by an explosion that happened
when he was in a mine.It ends up happening that Prim gets chosen to be in The Hunger Games.
Then Katniss volunteers to be in The Hunger Games so that Prim doesnt have to go.I picked
this book becuase when i read the summary of it I just couldn't deny reading it.I mean it has
romance,action,adventure,suspence, and survival you just can't put this book down.
A quote from the book that shows Katniss' major conflict is when she says " I twist and scuttle
backwards on my hands and feet,shrieking, trying to remove myself from the horror."This part
is when Katniss is in the The Hunger Games(in the woods)and her knee got hit by a fire ball.
Her knee is scorching with pain as she tries to get away from the wall of fire that throws the
the fireballs.When she gets to water she puts her knee in it,it soothes the pain from the knee
thats bloody.She learned to put water on watever part of her body was burned when she
used to make fire in the fireplace for warmth.
Honestly I loved this book I couldn't put this book down.The Hunger Games leaves readers hungry
for more.This book has a lot of suspence, it keeps readers wondering.I would recommend
this book to people who love action,adventure,a little romance, and suspenceful packed book.
Trust me The Hunger Games is like nothing you have read in a long time.
