Hey, hey!
I finished the Hunger Games a few weeks ago and decided to do a little (or big) review!
I hope you dig it!:
Sometime in the future North America will be seperated into 13 Districts, all ruled by the Capitol. These Districts are called Panem. District 13 is destroyed, after an attempt of rebillion against the Capitol. After this, as a chance of revenge, the Capitol decide to inflict the 'Hunger Games' on the 12 Districts. The Hunger Games is a t.v. program were 2 children go from each district to an arena, where they then fight to death. Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen year old girl, was out hunting in the woods (which is illegal) with her friend Gale, the morning of the reaping. They made their way back to the square, where they parted to get ready for the reaping. Katniss's sister, Primrosw is already dresses and ready to go. She is 12, it is her first reaping. Katniss's mother gave her a dress and they set out to the square. Effie Trinket, the 'picker' of District 12's tributes is up on stage along with the mayor. Haymitch, their trainer, also past victor of the Hunger Games, comes up on stage drunk. They stand in front of the two glass balls that hold the boy's and girl's names.'Ladies first!' Effie twitters and lunges towards the first bowl.She swirls her hand in their and takes out a peice of paper. 'Primrose Everdeen!' she announces. Everybody gasps and Prim, Katniss's sister, heads for the stage. Katniss shouts 'I volounteer! I volounteer as a tribute!' Worried eyes from the crowd watch her as she climbs onto the stage. She looks around her, it could be the last time she ever sees this place again.The boys are next and Effie pulls out a name. 'Peeta Mellark'Katniss gasps. What next?Let's skip to the arena 'cause this review is already a mile long! Okay. In the arena Katniss is in a tree. She is an excellent tree climber. She is lying extremely still. Then the careers walk along. (You'll find out who they are in the book) Katniss hears Peeta's voice: 'Okay, we find that little girl, Rue and then we seek out Katniss'. 'Yeah' the Careers agree.Ok I'm skipping along again because I'm running out of time :S.Katniss finds Rue and they become partners. Rue reminds Katniss of Prim. They scan trees for green wood to trick the careers so they can steal their food. Katniss runs off to the lake to hide and Rue starts setting up the fires. 1, 2 Katniss counts them. But where's the third? She runs off to find Rue. She finds Rue with a spear in her chest. Katniss sings to her and covers her in flowers. The helicopters fly off with her.Not long later, the capitol make an anouncment. 'There will be two victors this year!' they anounce.Katniss, long awaiting this, starts to call out 'Peeta! Peeta! where are you?' She finds him but he is badly injured. She nurses him and they start up a supposedly 'fake' romance.
