Right now, I am on page 80 of The Hunger Games. So far, The Hunger Games is mostly about the life of a girl named Katniss. She started out as a poor girl who lives in district twelve of Panem with her mom and her sister, Prim.
In Panem, once a year a national holiday sort of thing takes place in the Capital. Two people (one boy, one girl) by random are picked from each district to compete in the Hunger Games. The point of the Games is for the 24 kids to fight, and see who is the last one standing/living. Originally Katniss’s sister, Prim was picked along with a guy named Peeta. Katniss would not let her younger sister go through this, so she decided to take Prim’s place, and participate in the Hunger Games.
The book surprised me in a couple ways, the strongest in the way that it “got to you” on page 50 or less. When you find out that Prim, out of everyone, got selected to participate you sort of just freeze for a couple seconds. The author, Suzanne Colllins, makes you feel like you are there and feeling what the characters are feeling. I am so incredibly excited to finish the rest of the book!
