The Hunger Games:

I've recently been reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I'm not fished reading but here's the basic plot that I know: It's the future, North America and maybe other places have fallen, it the ashes of North America rises the all powerful Panem. Panem is divided into 12 but once 13 districts and a capitol city. Each District as it's own  culture. A girl Named Katniss is a smart and skilled fighter, she's sixteen years old. In Panem's History there was once an uprising of the districts but they lost, as punishment each district gives up one boy and one girl to compet in the Hunger Games, a TV brodcasted fight to the death. It's picked at random. One year her 12 year old sister Prim is chosen so Katniss steps up and voulenters her life to take her sisters place. They are on they're way to the capitol, she goes with the boy competer Peeta. When they arrive that are passed around from there stylists to the parade to the tower leading up the day they do to the arena to fight in the Hunger Games...

Thats all i've gotten to in the book. It's really intresting and the kind of action packed book you can't put down. I feel like the Hunger Games is outrageous. The actual game is a sick and horrifying slaughter where children are forced to enter without say. And if the child was to win the Hunger Games that would probably not be able to sleep at night knowing that they killed 11 children. Which would mostly end up to that person having post dramtic stress disorder or drinking problems. It's crazy how Kantniss took her place but it was certanily the right thing to do, she is small, young and too kind to hurt anyone and would end up dead within a few days. Katniss however stands a chance. Perhaps the punshiment for the hunger games was too much, and most likely didn't deserve it, life is too precious to deserve it.
