The Hunger Games

My favorite book would be the Hunger Games. A new government has formed in this world, and it holds the hunger games each year in which one boy and one girl are chosen from each of the 12 districts to compete in a fight to the death. The Hunger Games centers around a teenage girl named Katniss, who volunteers in place of her younger sister who was chosen. Katniss must try her hardest to survive because her mother cannot properly take care of her younger sister, and has no way to earn money to buy food. In these games there are 24 kids who must survive on their own, and kill the others to survive. The last one alive wins, and gets sent back to their original district to live. The games are held each year as punishment for district 13's revolt against the government, which ended in district 13 being bombed and destroyed. The Hunger Games is by Suzanne Collins, who lives in Sandy Hook, Connecticut and has a husband and two children. This story made me realize how precious life is, and how not everyone has all the necessary materials to survive. Everyday is a fight to survive, and one must fight if they want to continue their life.
