Katniss is good at shooting arrows with her bows to hunt animals.there is an event called the hunger games were kids fight to the death when the tributes were chosen from random kids katniss’s sister was called out. but katniss volunteered in her place to go on a fight saving her sister from death. the reason behind the hunger games is to try and keep peace for all the 12 districts

I feel inspired and also a bit sad about this text but It gave me another view on poverty and the government, as in the book and real life the government is not fair at times and a lot of the time makes the wrong decisions about things. And this book helps show the affected a unfair government can have on people. The kind of things some people have to deal with and yet i felt inspired by katniss and her bravery and leadership the way she looks after her sister and takes control of a terrible situation is truly inspiring that is why Katniss was the most interesting character. Straight from the start of the movie she seems like such a strong and independent person and she seems to take

At one point one of the contenders in the hunger games, Rue, who is only twelve, is killed and Katniss puts flowers all around her and sings a song to her as she slowly dies. It was such an emotional scene in the book I was almost in tears. Then there’s the very strange yet unsurprising romance between Katniss and Peeta which develops throughout the book. The author had you on the edge of your seat the whole time for example she made it really dramatic when katniss volunteers tribute for her little sister and in my opinion that part was the highlight of the book as it's the first time you get a real example of katniss's true

The boys help start a peaceful sit in at Woolworth until finally, the sign changed from white’s only to all customers welcomed. This book fits into my theme because the boys show courage by just being silent and how this helped advanced their goal of getting rid of segregation. This book is a biography. Seeds of Freedom is about how one city in the middle of segregation during the sixties decided to integrate peacefully.…

    My favorite section of The Hunger Games is when all the tributes are on their starting blocks and when they start the games. When they are on their starting blocks if they make any movement off of the block then they will be blown up. It was very cool because in the book they described how Katniss was so worried and nervous about making any sudden movements. When the tributes start off to the middle for the supplies it was like chaos and there was no order. All the tributes could do was hope they could get there hands on good supplies and…

    Lastly, The Hunger Games contained grieve, thorny feelings as we read. I would enjoy The Hunger Games more if there are less violence scenes in the novel. I felt that the author encroached the fighting too much, which can make the readers a bit uncomfortable and distracted. Otherwise, the novel is fabulous. I would recommend The Hunger Games for teenagers who love adventure…
