The Hunger Games

" Learn to fight and survive"

Thirteen districts, one Capitol in a country called Panem. 24 tributes. One game. The Hunger Games.

with her father blown out of the coal mine, Katniss Everdeen carried the burden of keeping her family alive. with the rules imposed by the Capitol, every one was in hunger. and every one was to abide by the rules.

this is a story of a girl who hated the Capitol, and all its rules. she is a rebel in her own district, and will do everything to keep her family away from harm, until the day of the reaping.

this signifies the start of an annual game made by the Capitol to let every district be reminded of how they revolted against it in the past and how powerful Capitol is. a girl and boy from each district are chosen to play the game. they are called tributes. the rule is very simple, that is, to Stay Alive! all twenty four tributes from the twelve districts are being placed in the arena, without knowing what lies ahead of them.  

this year's game had been unlucky for Katniss, as her sister was chosen to be one of the tributes for district 12. without wanting to have her sister harmed, she chose to replace her. Katniss Everdeen, the girl tribute. Peeta Mellark, the guy tribute.

all of them will fight for their lives.

death is near their hands.

only one will survive.

and who ever wins the game gains prosperity and power.

a new adventure to look forward to. realistic in a sense. i love how the author describes every detail, as if she belongs to that world. it made me see how power can ruin everything, and how LOVE can conquer it all. :)
