The Games

In the book The Hunger Games the main character is Katniss who is chosen to be in the hunger games.  And the hunger games is a very big “holiday” where tributes from each district have to fight each other to the death.  Then the winner becomes rich and is showered with food.  So now so far in the book there are only 6 tributes left and 2 of them are Katniss and Peeta.  Also Katniss just lost her first ally and had her first real kill.  There was also a rule change so now 2 tributes from the same district can win.  And lastly there are career tributes trying to kill Katniss while she is now thinking about the games and needs Peeta. 

Right off the bat I thinks so far rue is the most important character that had a positive impact on Katniss.  The reason is because she seemed like family and she reminded her of prim her sister and the made her think of home and winning for prim.  Also not just that but they were really good friends that just met but seemed like they knew each other forever and knew how to live together.  Not just that but rue help Katniss survive longer and help weaken her competition.  But not just that she was a sign of hope, hope for having friendship, for not being alone.  Rue was company and having that to motivate you, for you to go back to your friend and tell them what happened and what WE should do. 

What this teaches me is that people you know may be more important than you think.  Like your parents they have the biggest impact on your life becase they are the ones that teach all of your life lessons and they are the ones that give you the information that you want t know about and learn more on.  There the ones that help guide your life and set up your future.  Also that having friends and siblings is very important because you also don’t see how important they are.  with out friends or siblings you are alone and no one is there to help you, care for you, speak to.  With out some by you, you might freak out or even regret some decisions made to get rid of that person. But mainly you are different with out people around, you change and  some times emotionally and mentally.  Like you will break down and be sad all the time or create people in your head for company.  Just overall with out people in your life you wouldn’t have the same life and wouldn’t enjoy anything or survive.

so many problems...now this

In the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins there is Katniss the main character, who lives in district 12 with her little sister Prim and her mother.  Katniss' district is very poor and she has to provide for the family since her mother can't.  Katniss is a well hunter and hunts game and then trades it for food for her family.  Now since there is this annual "holiday" called The Hunger Games.  What it is, is that each district gets 2 randomly picked people from the ages of 12-18 (one boy and one girl) to fight in an arena to the death to see the winner and to show how much power a rebellion doesn't have against the Capital.

i have noticed that the district is very poor and so are the people.  But the level of technology they have is pretty advanced.  The bakers are using brick ovens and the government has a Electric fence around the district.  There is no form of transportation in the district but trains connecting them to the capital.  It is like they are only using the good things on the very high and important people.  It is sort of like reality how the poor get nothing and have to do more to survive and live while the rich have everything at their feet.  now i am wondering what if Katniss wins The Hunger games does her district get more advanced technology and better life styles.  Also with Haymitch why was he drunk? it was like that victory he had in The Hunger Games did him when he won food and supplies for his district and himself isn't that great enough.  And no one else i know of had access to alcohol so how did he get it?

like i said it seems like the poor is frowned upon and treated like nothing.  but mostly it seems as of where your status is in anything that is how you are judged.  like people are judged by how much money they have, how many friends etc. But i think judgement of your class is the biggest (e.g. how much money you have and what you can afford)  because money is essential to getting things you need and what you want.  And when people are judged on what they have and can get they are usually downgraded or praised and loved and i think it is wrong because so what if i cant get this or don't have this will it help me in any way shape or form or will it just be some thing fun to have then never to be used again.  i think thats the way people should think and not like i said before about the judgement of what you have.
