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.
