Katniss Against Other Districts

  In the book the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins the main character (the protagonist) Katniss faces many difficult and powerful courses throughout her life. Katniss lives in a area known as District 12. District 12 is sort of like New York in the future from now. People have to hunt for their own food be aware of their surrondings and make sure that they do not get eaten by other animals in the wild.  Katniss is in the arena in the capitol. the arena is a place where people fight against each other to see who will be the last person standing which will be declared the winner of the Hunger Games.

   In the arena their are many diffrent climate changes or different weathers. the different types of climates arev such as a desert a avalanche and a forest their are also many other types. Katniss mentions that she wants the forest climate so that she can create bow and arrows and hamocks and sleep in the trees and under the shade. Katniss recieves a forest climate but she is desprate for water. Katniss goes crazy searching and walking mile by mile looking for water. Katniss then discovers water from a pond and she drinks so  much water that she almost literly drowns herself throughout this process. when Katniss is drinking water there at the pond she sees Peta there.

   Peta is a boy that is also from District 12. Peta says that  he likes Katniss but then he admits that this is a lie but at the same tieme Peta is sort of falling for Katniss. Peta asks if he could be trained for the Hunger Games sepreatly and not together with Katniss. I believe that one of the reasons that this was being implied towards Peta is probably and most likely because he thinks that Katniss may distract him and make the two of them fall in love for each other because of this. I believe that this book is very interesting and exciting and i enjoy it very mich.

Katniss and the Hunger Games

   I have just started the Hunger Games book by Suzanne Collins so far this story is very interesting and good to read. This book is about a 16 year old Katniss who hunts for food and ways to survive life in District 12 and in the Capitol. Katniss trys to make her family also survive by hunting for food and ways to live for her mother and sister whos name is prim. Katniss's dad died in a mine explosion years before. Katniss hunts for food all alone in the woods with her hunting partner Gale they both help each other to hunt and they both also make certain trades to certain types of food to maintain their families.

   In this book there is a holiday known as the Hunger Games or the reaping where  everyone in district 12 meets and 2 children shall be selected one male and one female betweeen the ages 12 through 13. if you are selected you must participate in the annual Hunger Games to fight to the dead live on T.V. my  inference about this book is that Prim (Katniss's younger sister) is going to be selected for the hunger games and then prim might not be able to make it through.

   I also belive that Katniss will try to help Prim win the hunger games and now they both might not make it  through the hunger games. Katniss might also get into deep trouble because she migh try to save Prim. Another inference that I have or wonder is who will Prim battle or what obstacle will she have to go through or fight in order to achieve the Hunger Games.
