Hunger Games- The Hunger Games is critiqued as “Better than Twilight and Harry Potter”. When people saw the movie they were expecting more; therefore they were let down and liked the book better. The Hunger Games book/ movie are all about a girl named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in District 12, a poor district that relies on trading to survive. Katniss is a very brave young woman who illegally hunts; she kills animals for meat then sells them and “The Hob” or the market. When the reaping finally arrives she is trying to hide her fear for her little sister Prim who is practically shaking with fear afraid her name will get picked. She does. Katniss volunteers as tribute to go fight for her life in the Hunger Games. Her and her secret “lover boy” Peeta Mellark was the man chosen as tribute. The two travel to the capital by train. Once in the capital they meet all of the other tributes chosen to either win or die. Everything is going fine until they meet the tributes from district 2. District 2 is the wealthiest district next the capital. District 2 trains their kids how to become great warriors in case they were chosen as tribute (which is illegal). They vow to kill each other and that sparks some very juicy rivalry. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens when they finally meet up inside the Hunger Games.
