I chose to the modern mythology known as The Hunger Games a novel written by Suzanne Collins and later adapted into a feature film. The novel was actually part of a trilogy The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. The story begins by introducing you to our main character Katniss Everdeen who lives in a world run by the Capitol where President Snow resides and has enforced a form of martial law on all 13 districts. Every year the Capitol hosts their annual Hunger Games which is a form of entertainment for the Capitol. Out of every district two tributes, one boy and one girl will be picked to participate in the Hunger Games which is a battle to the death. Whichever tribute manages to survive till the end will be rewarded by getting to stay in the capitol and their district will be given more food and supplies. The reason Katniss becomes a part of the games is because her little sister prim is chosen during the reaping to be the tribute so Katniss hearing her sisters name volunteers as tribute to save her sisters life but she tries to win the games for her district and to provide for them. The only problem is she finds it hard to murder the other tributes because they are all so young and she doesn’t see why she must kill them for the Capitols entertainment.

The book I chose for this book report is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The book is about main characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta. Its basically tells their lives after The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games novel written by Suzanne Collins reflects significant issues in the reality world nowadays which relate to the humanity, the poverty, the violence,… It describes the issues through the characters and what happens in the story, and the most significant issue occurs throughout the novel is the gap between rich and poor people. In the beginning of the novel, Suzanne Collins describes clearly the scene of the poverty, the terrible fear of the 12-district’s villagers, in contrast to the wealthy of the Capitol’s citizens.

My niece and I share a common interest in books, we both like fantasy/thriller/Science fiction types of books as a result we tell each other which book we have read recently and if we recommend it to each other. When I bought the Hunger Games I immediately knew she would love it too therefore I gave her the Hunger Games for her birthday. In the Hunger Games two teenagers from each of the twelve districts from Panem has to fight to the death in an arena. These teenagers are selected at random but when Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes the place of her younger sister her story begins.

As a teen, I’ve experienced a lot. Some experiences were better than other and some were for my own good. What I’ve realized is that with each experience, there’s a lesson. One thing that I’ve learned in my teens is that if you want certain things to go your way you have to do it yourself.

Like the title says i have chosen the hunger games to write about for my essay. I would like to start out by addressing some of the main point that will be talked about like how the character grows and changes through the books and the conflict between the capital and the districts.

The jobs each one do have to do with collecting and sending resources to the capital with nothing in return.

A person born in the Capitol lives a wealthy life and is always treated with respect. On the other hand someone born in district 12 has a life of constant back breaking work. They live in poverty and struggle to survive.
