The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is written by Suzanne Collins. The book is about a TV show called the Hunger Games. In the show there are choosen 12 boys and 12 girls. The boys and girls are choosen from the districts. There are 12 districts and every dipstrict there will choose one boy and one girl. The chosen ones are forced to play the game. The game has only one rule: kill or be killed. Katniss Everdeen is the main character of the book. From district 12 the chosen one was Primrose Everdeen who was Katniss’s little sister. Katniss didn’t want her sister in the game, so she volunteered to the game.  Peeta Mellark was also chosen to the game from district 12. The chosen ones were called tributes. The tributes were taken to Capitol, where they were introduced to the world. When the game started the 24 tributes started to compete against each other. Only one can survival and the others have to die. Every time someone died, there was a sound, a cannon shot. At the end of the game the inventor changed the rules of the game, so that there can be two winners, but they must be from the same district. Eventually Katniss and Peeta won the game and went home.

The book was good but little sad. The beginning of the book really showed what it felt to live poor. When Katniss goes to the game, it shows that humans are like animals and they will do anything to stay alive. The ending was very good and touching. Because when the producers said that there can be only one winner, both Katniss and Peeta agreed that they would kill themselves with toxic berries. Then the producers said there can be two winners and they went home and they were happy that they were alive.

Reading the book was hard at times because I didn’t understand some of the words but they survived the context. The book was good and Suzanne Collins has written two sequels to the Hunger Games series, Catching fire and Monkingjay.
