District 12

Imagine walking through the woods not knowing what could be hiding anywhere nearby. The only thing you can hear is your own footsteps on the forest floor covered in leaves and the mocking birds singing high up in the trees. They’re safe from all danger in the woods, they can see everything coming but everything you can see is blocked by a wall of trees. Every move you make is a risk, you never know if you are safe. Just waiting for someone or something lurking in the woods to come out and kill you. This is how Katniss felt as a part of these cruel games, called “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. In these games there are 2 teenagers from 12 different districts, all 24 of these kids are put in an arena to fight to the death until there is just one left standing.

With this series of books it can have any type of reader, weather you are a boy or a girl the book will draw you in right away with how upfront it is and how well detailed it is. The difference with this book from other books is that with this one there is never a boring part, there is always something happening. In other books there is always apart where nothing is really happening and in those parts you have no interest in the book. In my opinion I would say this is my favorite book and I can’t wait to start reading the next one in the series. It keeps your mind going thinking of things that could happen to the tributes.

If this were to happen to us no one would find the games entertaining, everyone would find it gruesome to watch people you know die in this kind of way. You don’t really think about things in the book while you are reading it. In this book learned that the relationship you have with your family is important because it might be the main reason you fight through until the end. Without her family Katniss probably would of just gave up when she got hurt, she would have thought she had nothing to live for. Through the words of this novel there is another story being told.
