I have read this book many times and I never got bored. The book is
very exiting and has many types of characters. Every part of the book
makes a story of how we really live. Capitol is the rich people around
the world, and only the important people know what’s going on. All the
other people in the capitol is just people who does not know what is
going on in the world, they just think of them selves. On the other
side, poor people struggle to give what they have to the capitol so
they have money survive. Hunger games is mostly the same thing but
it's just made to attract peoples attention and make them understand
about capitalism that is happening on the world right now.
Katniss evergreen is the main character in the book. I really like
her. She was a ordinary girl in the district that could trick the
capitol. She is very sweet for volunteering for her sister. But she is
also not faking her love for Peetah, even though she does not know. I
think she is very shocked how the people in the capitol lives. Very
different than the districts. At the game, she made a friend. Katniss
wants to help her but she didn’t make it through the game. That maybe
the reason she started to be against the capitol.
Katniss and Peetah are supposed to act like their in love in the
game. If not, their lives are in great danger. There doing this so
their family and friends are safe from the torture of the capitol. The
capitol wants the best for their people so they use the districts to
make capitol people happy and satisfied. If they find out the capitol
is not satisfied, many people in the districts will die, maybe even
the whole district. So they keep the people satisfied. Even if the
capitol is very mean.
Katniss everdeen is similar to another character. She is similar to
Tally Youngblood. Tally Youngblood is a girl from a book called
Pretties, Uglies, Specials. She goes with the usual cycle that on the
background she does not know about. But after she knew the truth, She
becomes something like a leader to people who also goes trough the
truth about their lives. They both also have fears, that they can't
control. One of the common thing is that they both have two boyfriends
but they don’t know who to pick.
I like the book because it's about the story of the present life. So
similar. Another reason i like this book is because it is a great book
for teens. It has a love story. That is the most important part in
writing a book. Love stories can always grab other peoples attention.
My favourite part of the book is when Katness makes the editor of
the game choose Peetah and katness as the winner. It's very sweet
because you might think they don’t love each other, but if you
understand deeply, they love each other. Now, they have might made
their selves in great danger. They will torture them.
The Most worst part is when Katnesses closest friend saw her kissing
with Peetah. They make Katniss do it to interest the Capitol. Maybe
Gale, Satanist’s close friend, knows what is happening. But he might
still be angry. It's a true love story. Teens would like it.
If I can change a bit of the book, i would make the Districts more
technological. Like they live in small apartments with cool
futuristics things. But don't make them rich. It would ruin the whole
story. And also make Peetah and Katniss more romantic.That would make
Gale more angry.
I think Teenagers would like this book. It has very interesting
Story, Problem and etc. Also that Katniss is 16 so maybe more people
of the same age would want to read it. I’m almost a teenager and I
have read the book around 2 times. But my mom is the one who first
introduced me to this book.
i recommend you guys that are going to read this book to not see the
movie first. It will ruin the vision of the book. Also don't search of
the characters of the new movie that is going to come. It will also
ruin you vision of the character. So don’t do it!
