Hunger Games Reading Logs

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a book on sacrifice, romance, survival, and instinct. This novel has a very strong connection to real life imp articular as it is a lot on survival and instinct. This is a very recommended book to read from everything that will happen. 

  

The Hunger Games first starts off in district 12 in where a woman called Katniss Everdeen is introduced and is sent into columns of boys on one side and girls on the other and they had to be 12 to 18 to be picked for the reaping. Katniss's sister gets picked out and then Katniss says "I volunteer as tribute" and then she is picked rather than her sister and a boy was then picked out called "Peeta Mellark". Katniss and Peeta then end up in the capitol and then trains and gets sponsors for the games to help. The games begin and they lost track of each other and Katniss is being hunted by a group and Peeta Katniss manages to escape with dropping a type of bee's nest that killed a lot of the group below. Peeta survives and with a couple others but now Katniss and Peeta have teamed back up and have taken down the remaining districts except for one, with dogs under them and with Peeta, Katniss and the other district member fighting on the roof top Katniss and Peeta killing him. Then an announcement comes out saying there can only be one remaining tribute and Katniss and Peeta decided on to kill themselves with poison berries and another announcement said they both are the champions. 

  

In this novel, we have been introduced to Katniss Everdeen the woman who first volunteered to be a tribute in the reaping. She is a very outstanding woman in the games as she has very good instincts and survival skills because of living so far from the capitol the further out you are the poorer your district is. So, Katniss always used to survive off poor conditions and rough weather so it really didn't matter what you threw at her, her instincts were always quick and sharp deciding on the situation. As Katniss was getting slowly through the games she became more aware of her environment because of everything that has happened from the beginning of the games. 

  

In this novel, all throughout the book we are introduced to all the districts from 1-13 and they all have to do with supporting the capitol for example, District 1 is the luxury and class because they are the closest to the capitol and with a district, that is not near the capitol is usually the ones that have to do the dirty work, for example, District 12 is the coal mining district so the further district away you are is where the more horrible things that you will have to do for a job in that district. All of the districts are all still treated like foreigners from the capitol being the center and most powerful out of all the districts, for example, the massive army they have and all the weapons they have. Most districts have very poor conditions from districts five to thirteen and all they can do is fend for them selfs, family and friends.
