The Hunger Games: Suzanne Collins, Science Fiction

Every year, an event happens called 'The Hunger Games.' It's where girls and boys that are twelve through eighteen year old get chosen to fight to the death. Two sisters; Prim and Katniss get ready for the event. It's Prim first year attending this event. As they arrive to the event, they have to go through a line where the workers take a prick of your blood. There are many girls and boys attending the event, so the possibility is slim for Prim to get chosen. Girls on one side, boys on the other. Effie, the host for District 12 speaks, she goes in the girls' bowl first, and the name she calls is 'Primrose Everdeen.' Katniss being the overprotective sister that she is, volunteers as tribute for her sister's place.

Question 1: Katniss is a short, strong and brave teen. She has the ability to fight by doing archery. She stands up for what's right and does whatever it takes to protect her loved ones. I approve of them because there are some people that know something's wrong but don't take any action to stop it.

Question 6:  A question I would ask the author is how would she tell the story if Prim was chosen and Katniss didn't volunteer. What would Prim learn and do? What interest she would look into, etc..

  1. Do you think that if Prim was older Katniss would still volunteers as tribute?

  2. I wonder how it would have played out if Katniss got picked herself or if someone else had gotten picked instead
