The Hunger Games

 

The book I read about is the "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. The book started really interesting and it motivated me more and more after I had read the few several chapters. Katnis was the main character, she only had her mom and her little sister. She haunted to survive and to feed her family. Before her father died he also haunted, so basically that's where she learn to haunt. Katnis ended up meeting her best guy friend Pam, which is another especial member to her. The setting of the book was in the woods and also some part was in North America in the Nation of Panem. Some significant ideas the author made were that never give up no matter what just have faith and everything will come out how you wished. In the novel their were 12 districts. All 12 district would fight against each other to win food for their district, but their was only space for one winner. It was a fight to the death on TV where every district was going to see it.

This book was really interesting to me, but at the same moment it was really hard to continue reading. The more I read it the more I enjoyed it. The only bad part was the deaths as they started the fight kids were dying one by one. One of the quotes that got my attention was "Thanks for keeping hold of me. I was getting a little shaky there"(72). This shows how Katniss was always there for her district, how she not only cared about her, but other even though she had in mind that she might of died. This shows how she was not selfish at all. The other was "She's a survivor, that one. she is, says Petta" (98) at the moment Katniss showed her qualities of fighting everyone knew how good fighter she was. In the book she impressed that judges that was one of the moments people realized how brave she was. The book remainds me of Robin Hood when I was reading the book I found some similarities from each other both Robin Hood and Katniss showed how brave they where they both tried to protect people. Katniss her family and Robin Hood the poor people. The book and the movie of "The Hunger Games" are somehow different the movie does not show all what the book talks about. This book impacted me on a way that now I think books can be really interesting if I actually put attention to it and do read it.
