Hunger game

THE HUNGER GAMES



The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games is a story in the future. Panem is in the North America and it has twelve districts and Capitol. There were thirteen but one disappeared by war. The Capitol people lives much better than the other people in the twelve districts. Panem holds the Hunger Games every year. In the games, boy and a girl are selected in each district and they need to kill each other. The person who only left wins.

Katniss is a girl from district 12. She shoots arrow very well. She can kill an animal by shooting right in to its eye. She volunteers instead of Prim during the reaping. Reaping is when they are selecting tributes. Tributes are the kids who are selected.

Peeta is also in district 12. He was selected too. He is a baker’s son. He once burnt bread on purpose to give Katniss and he got punished. His mom didn’t let him to throw away normal bread.

Haymitch is Katniss and Peeta’s mentor. He is not interested in his work. He is always drunk because of the pain during the games. He is the only winner in district 12.

Gale is Katnis’s friend. He always hunts with Katniss. He separated with her because she needed to go to the games.



Katniss hunts and sells the meat to the peace keepers. Peace keepers are the police in the Capitol. She often hunts with Gale. He shoots arrow very well too.

The reaping day came! Prim was selected. It was same in her dream. In her dream, she was selected too. Just then Katniss volunteers for her. Next, Peeta gets selected. Katniss was shocked. She needed to kill someone who helped her.

Prim says good bye to her. Gale tells her to make bow and arrows. Mayor’s daughter Madge gave her a mocking jay pin. Mocking jay is abird that is born between a jabber jay and a mocking bird. It can follow human’s voice. Peeta’s father came and gave her cookies. Cookies are very luxurious in the districts. He is giving cookies to her even she needs to kill his son.

In the train going to the Capitol, Peeta and Katniss meets they’re mentor Haymitch. He was drunk. Katniss and Peeta didn’t believe him much.

Soon the parade starts. Katnis’s styler Cinna made a dress that looks like it was burning. When the parade started people cheered for her. Everyone was paying attention to Katniss and Peeta.

The training center is where tributes are practicing for the games. Haymitch is coaching Katniss and Peeta. They were shooting arrow and throwing knives. Later Peeta wants Haymitch to teach by himself. Peeta wanted to learn special things. Katniss felt betrayal and happiness together. She felt happiness because she needed to kill him. The Gamemakers are people who control the game. They didn’t care about Katniss a lot. She was angry so she shot an arrow right into the apple in the pig’s mouth. She thought she would get the worst training score but she got 11! The highest!

At the interview, Katniss wore a dress that was covered in precious gems. Cinna told her to be honest as possible. When Peeta was talking, Katniss was angry because he was lying that he loved her. Peeta wanted to get more sponsored.

The game started. It started at the Cornucopia. Cornucopia is where the supplies are. Others fought for supplies but, Katniss ran backwards because Haymitch told her to run away because lots of people get killed. Katniss almost died because of the tributes. At night it said 13 tributes died. Peeta didn’t die.

The career tributes were getting together. They prepared a lot for the games. They train a lot for the Games and volunteer when they are 18 years old. They made Peeta joined them because he is the only one who knew where Katniss is.

The Career tributes once tried to kill Katniss. Thy surrounded the tree that Katniss was staying. Rue a tribute told to drop a nest. It was the tracker jacker’s nest. Tracker jacker is a huge wasp that has a very strong poison. Glimmer and a girl from district 4 died because Katniss dropped a tracker jacker’s nest. Others got few shots but didn’t die. The Career tributes tried to kill Peeta because they didn’t succeed.

Rue is a girl from district 11. She is weak but she could live very well in the forest. Katniss and Rue united. They were having a nicer time than the others. A sad thing happened. Rue got killed. A boy from district 1 killed her. Katniss killed him. People from district 11 sent it. She was good to Rue.

Katniss heard that if both tributes in same district are left, they are both winners. Katniss searched for Peeta. Peeta was in the mud. He was hiding. He was injured a lot. He was burnt, hit by a knife and, stings by the tracker jackers. Katniss washed him and cured him. They killed others and gathered food. They’re shelter was a cave near the water.

They saw strange creatures. They were mutes. Katniss realized that it was made by the dead tributes. They were programmed to hate the others. Cato! One of the last three tributes. They fought on the Cornucopia. Cato strangled Peeta’s neck. Peeta seem to die because of suffocation. Katniss shot Cato’s arm where Peeta made an X with his fingers. Cato fell down. The mutes attacked him.

Katniss and Peeta waited until they got out. However, the game wasn’t finished. The rule changed. Only one tribute could win. Katniss knew that the Capitol had to have a winner. She told Peeta to swallow poisonous berries called. Suddenly there was an announcement. It said that the winners of the Hunger games were Peeta and Katniss.

Katniss and Peeta got cured. Later, they watched the highlight show. Katniss didn’t want to watch it because she didn’t want to see the tributes dying again. First, there was the part when the tributes fought for the supplies. Next, the careers surrounded Katniss but she droped the nest of tracker jackers. Then, Rue’s death. However, they didn’t show the part when Katniss gave flowers to Rue. Then the mutes’ appearance and Cato’s death. Last, the when Katniss and Peeta were eating berries. Katniss felt she should be blamed because she tricked the Game makers.

There were the final interviews. She knew that it was the time to tell that she did not trick the Capitol people. Ceasar Flickerman asked some questions. The hardest question was that she really loved Peeta and, how she felt when she had the berries. After the interview, all the crowds were all laughing, hugging and crying.

She packed and rode a train that went to district 12. She had new dangers facing her. She now needed to be the mentor of district 12. She needed to go to the victor’s village to live. Then, she cannot live with Gale as often as they did.

This book was fantastic. It gave me excitement enjoyment and sadness at one time! Katniss was very brave. She didn’t give up even when she was injured. She was my favorite character. Peeta was also brave but he didn’t do as much during the games. He could live because Katniss. But, I respect his courage. I didn’t like Haymitch so much. He was always drunk and not good in his work. I hate the Gamemakers. They are not fair! They are killing children! I want to recommend this book to my friends. It inspired me and gave me courage.
