The Hunger Games by:Suzanne Collins





In the world of The Hunger Games there is a capitol, that's where are the rich and powerful people live such as President Snow and a few other major people in the book. Desides the Capitol there are twelve districts as they refer to in the book that surrounds the Capitol. The main character named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in the furthest district, which is also the poorest because her district's selling point is coal. She has to take care of her family by herself. becasue her dad died when she was only eleven-year-old from a mining explosion. From there on she has to take care of her mom because her dad's accident made her not talk and stay in bed all day. Besides her mom, Katniss also has to take care of her sister. The name Hunger Games comes from a massive event hosted by the Capitol. Every year, they will pick two teenagers from  each district one boy and one girl from the age of 12-18 years old. The point of hosting this event is to eliminate the chance of a rebellion from any of the twelve districts. On the day of the picking where they will pick tributes, this is Katniss's sixth year and its her little sister's first year. Katniss will be the most likely to get picked since the older you get, the most entries with your name will be in the large bin. At first Katniss was for sure that her sister won't get picked, but it turned out she actually got picked with one out of hundreds. Katniss isn't gonna let her sister to be in the hunger games so she volunteered as tribute to save her. After knowing that Katniss can actually volunteer for her sister they went on and pick the boy and turn out its the baker's son name Peeta Mellark. From there on Katniss and Peeta will go to the Capitol and get trained with the other 22 tributes. After a few days of training and meeting the media, they will head in to the arena and fight to their death.
