katniss and her life

  I have finally finished reading the book the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins this book is very very intersting and I enjoyed it alot. while I was reading this book I took notes on some very important things that happened throughout the book. I took notes on three main topics and one of them is on katniss the main character katniss is a girl that is about 15 to 16 years old. katniss and peta both get selected to participate in the annual hunger games.A note that I foccused on was how it was really katniss 12 year old sister prim who was supposed to take part in this and katniss did not allow that so she took place to participate in it. katniss is a type of person who believes in her self and will not give up on something  thet she wants.
  Another theme  that I looked at was the setting of the hunger games which is in the arena. In the arena it has many different types of climates that takes place onne of the climates is an avalanche one and another is a tropical forest and the final one is a desert one. Katniss gets the tropical one and she tries to survive their.
   the last thing that I took part in noticing is the topic of revoulotion in the topic of revoultion katniss talks with rue and they talk about comparing and contrasting her districts between district 12 and 7.

A Description Between Life And Death

 I have just finished the 1st book of the Hunger Games series which was the Hunger Games by Suzzaine Collins this book is a very great an interesting story. In this book Katniss the main character is elected to participate in the annual Hunger Games throughout this process Katniss must try to fight an kill people who were elected from other Districts and the last person standing is declared as the winner. while Katniss is trying to survive and she is already in the arena (which is where the hunger games takes place) she meets Rue a girl from district 7.
  Rue is a small girl she is 12 years old which is the same age Katniss sister was. Katniss's sister's name is Prim she is also 12 years and is small. Katniss mentions alot throughout this book that Rue reminds her of Prim. Katniss asks Rue to join her as an alley even though they would both end up having to kill each other towards the end. Rue then dies later on in the book towards the middle of the story.
   I believe that it is crazy and unbelievable how people would force children under the age of 17 to have to go and participate in the Hunger Games and make the children have to fight and kill each others lives. It is also even more crazy how this is alive tv show and people watch this from other districts.this book is very good and I recomend it.

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.

Jonas recieving "the talk"

   The giver by Lois Lowery so far is very interesting and it makes you (the reader) want to think more and more about the story and what is going on through out it and what you want to know about it. jonas the main character is a very normal boy and everything is going fine for him until he recieves "the talk" from his father speaking about everything his father did and acomplished as a kid and also what Jonas will soon have to deal with in his life as a 12 year old boy and what his life will soon await.

    Jonas will soon turn 12 when a boy or a girl turns 12 in their community a big ceromony awaits which is including an adventure in which they will have to acomplish. Jonas dad explains to Jonas what the ceromony is all about because he is almost turning 12 years old. Jonas soon will turn 12 and the ceromny will soon come. the ceromony is 2 days long and Jonas will have to complete an assignment.

    I can see why the ceromony is a major part in Jonas and everyone else who is turning 12. my opinion of it being important is because of it may be before jonas becomes a teen. This story is interesting and is very good.

The giver by lois lowry #1

In the book the giver by lois lowry the main character jonas is a very calm and peaceful person until he spots aircraft flying over his community. he starts to think and starts to wonder what is going to happen next so far. I think that this story is very intersting and curiuos so far because I basicly dont know what will happen next. which is why it is interesting.

I infer that jonas life will get more difficult one way or another I infer that a war will begin to happen because he spoted aircraft over him or his life will get difficult with a certain type of conflict. jonas also has a sister named lily maybe something will happen to her and jonas will have to try to be a super hero.

I belive that this book will turn out good because so far I think that it is interesting and mysterious because the story leaves me wondering also it will be good because it has the noble award which means that the story is interesting.

its kind of a funny story by ned vizzini #3

   In the book its kind of a funny story by ned vizzini the main character craig is still trying to succeed in life but so far throughout the story it seems as if the more he is trying the more he is getting  further and further apart from succeeding.
  
   Craig seems as if he is getting further and further apart from succeeding because he start to smoke pot and hangout after school instead of doing his homework.craig is also not getting good grades in any of his classes or test scores. Another way that he is not succeeding in life is by craig hangingout with the wrong people which is a kid that smokes pot and a kid that never studys and a kid that curses alot and cuts class. This is why craig is not succeed the way that craig should be succeding in.

   my inference is coming true so far because craig is  not doing so well with his academic carrer and with his personal life also craig is not acheiving what he wants to and he is getting further away from what he wants to get to.
