Hunger Games
Pg. 1-34

    Today I started the book Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins.  In the beginning of the book we meet the main character, Katniss, a very responsible girl who has had to run her family for 5 years since her father died.  Everyday she goes illegally out in the woods and catches meals for her family.  She also sells some of her game to the black market for money.  Then, we learn about the Hunger Games. A battle fought by 24 normal kids (12-18), but this isn’t just a normal battle this is to the death.  When Katniss’s 12 year old sister get picked Katniss, who is 16, volunteers and takes her sisters place.
