The Hunger Games portrays a vision of the future of North America, now the nation of Panem. In Panem, a powerful and technologically advanced city,The Capitol, rules mercilessly over 12 outlying districts, each named simply for their number. The beginning of the book takes place in District 12. Every year, The Capitol requires that each district select two teenagers by lottery, one boy and one girl, to represent the district at the annual Hunger Games, as “tributes”.As the teenagers get older, they have to put more tickets into the lottery. BUt, if you choose to put even more into the lottery to get a prize (I don't exactly remember what it was) they may. I think the setting will be important later in the novel, because i think that someone from District 12 will win the hunger games. I think The Hunger Games is a very good book so far. It got my attention very early in the book, which to me usually shows that it will get better as you get further into the story. I'm really enjoying the book, and can't wait to read more.
vlad S scheller 1st hour This book is great for people who like adventure, action and leaning out of your chair book :D I like this book because of all the intensity throughout the book :) The setting in this book is a place called district 12 and its the last district out of the country of panem. This setting is important because its the last district out of the 12 in panem. >.< In the beginning Katniss is the main character of the book o far. She goes out hunting in the woods outside of district 12. If she was caught she would severely punished and maybe death. It was the day of the reaping where the capital picks one boy and one girl from each district and put them in the arena to watch them kill each other for a punishment to all of panem so they will be reminded not to attack the capital again. Prim was chosen from district 12 and her older sister was katniss. Katniss didn’t that her sister would have been picked out of the hundreds of slips and she was picked. Katniss volunteered for her sister for the hunger games. This book gets more and more intense throughout the book. :)
This is a good book for people that like action and like adventure. This book is a good book to tell your friends. I like this book because of all action that is in the book. The setting of this book takes place in District 12. District 12 is in Panem. District 12 is important because it is the last district in Panem. In this book Katniss is going outside of District 12 beacuse she wants to hunt. When reaping came two poeple(boy and a girl) would be picked from each district. Prim was chosen form District 12 and her older sister was suprise because she had only put her name into the ballot one time. The older sister did not want her to be chosen so she vounteered herslef just so her little sister would not have to go. I think that was very brave of her. That is what i have read so far.
I have seen this book many times but never really had the chance to read it, well now im reading it and its a really good book.The setting for the story is a small place called District 12.They have Electric fences to suppostly are to keep deadly animals from Distric 12. Katniss Family they are really poor and dont really have alot of money. Katniss and Gale Are friends and hunter buddys. They set out to hunt animals to sell them to the "black market" to get money for there Family so they can eat. They also trade the things they have caught to trade them for a loaf of bread.Katniss has a sister called Prim names after the rose Primrose.Katniss dad died in a coal accident the mines exploded and he died. The setting really plays a HUGE part in the story. The setting gives the book life and intrest. So tecnicly speaking without a setting The book would be so boring no one would want to pick it up because there would be no intrest in the book.
The setting of the hunger games is what used to be the United States and the rest of North America. You don’t know what happened to it (at least not yet) but now it’s what they call Panem. Panem is divided into 13 districts. Each is called by their number but they have there own name they use inside the district. The district the book takes place in is district 12. I can’t remember the name they call it but, like most of the other districts, its poor. The setting is important because each district has two representatives (one boy and one girl) that are sent into the hunger games. These came up when the districts tried to rise up and take over but lost. So now the hunger games is used as a punishment to have everyone fight to the death and the last man or women standing wins. But anyway the setting is important because you know where Katniss, the main character, grew up and what district she came from when she entered the games. From what I’ve read I think this book is going to be really good. My whole family read it and talked about it for a long time. So far I think the book is pretty interesting because I figured it would be just one of those books where you find the plot and can predict everything but no so you can say I like the book so far.
Jordan c. Scheller 3rd hour So far this book has been a great book. It takes place in the country of panem which used to be the United States. Panem is divided into 13 districts but the story takes place in district 12. In district 12 a lot of people are treated horribly and the district basically starves to death. Most of the other districts are treated just as bad as district 12 and starve also. Panem seems like a violent country where people are pretty much slaves. If you talk bad on the district or country the punishment is death. Every year each district randomly picks two people to go to the annual ‘Hunger games.’ In the games teenagers fight to stay alive by killing each other. The winner gets a years supply of food and that’s it, nothing else. That shows how bad people are treated in the country of panem. So far I have only read three chapters and it seems to be a pretty good book.
Maddie H. Scheller Hour 3 The setting of the book is in District 12. It's after North America has been destroyed and the land has been divided up. The supplies are limited and many people starve to death. I think this setting is important because when they participate in the Hunger Games there surroundings are going to effect the play of the game. I like reading this book because I can tell that there is going to be alot of action. Also I thought it was super sweet that Katniss took her younger sister Prim spot. I also think that Gale is somehow going to be a main character. Maybe him and Katniss will fall in love? Hopefully Katniss will win the game and her family will be alright while she's gone. I feel bad for her family because of her dad dieing and her mom not being there for them. She basically had to be the parent for her sister. I can tell this book is going to be full of action and I'm not very far into it and I just want to read more.
Hey the setting for my novel is in district 12 I haven’t read that far in the book so I don’t know all the settings yet. I think the setting is important to this novel because it show you were they grow up and there harsh living conditions. The living conditions for katniss which is the main character are really bad she has to go hunting to get food for her family and her . she has put her name in the reaping far to many times to get food for her family. But I wont spoil what happens for the rest of you that are reading the book. I think the book so far is really good it has a lot of detail and is very descriptive. I also think the book is going to get a lot better as I continue to read . The more I read the better the book gets . I would recommend this book to a lot of high school kids.
The setting of The Hunger Games is a post-apocalyptic North America, known as Panem. When North America was first turned into Panem, it was divided into 13 districts, which one of them was destroyed in a rebellion. The main character, Katniss, lives in district 12, which is in the Appalachian mountain region. The setting of the book is important to the story because when the districts rebelled, the main leaders of the country retaliated by every year making two kids from each district compete in the hunger games. So far, I really enjoy this story. I think the plot is very interesting and exciting. Later in the story, I think it will get even better because Katniss is going to be competing in the hunger games. Right now it is getting a little boring waiting for her to get entered in the games and setting it up. But otherwise, this is a great book. Before this class I was actually planning on reading the book on my own, but never had the time, so I didn’t, which is why I’m glad I finally get the chance to.
I believe the setting in the Hunger Games is post-apocalyptic North America, which is now known as Panem. Panem is divided into 13 districts, one of which was destroyed. The main character, named Katniss, lives in district 12 (Which is located on the east coast of North America). District 12 is mostly filled with people who are coal miners, thus most citizens of district 12 are very poor. The setting of this book is important to the story because if the book took place in present day America, then the world would not be divided into districts nor would the country be overrun with poverty and homelessness. Also, something as cruel and unfair as the Hunger Games would ever take place anywhere in the world. In conclusion, this is a very enjoyable book. I have been looking forward to reading this book ever since I heard about it in 7th grade. Now that I am reading it finally, I actually look forward to coming to English class so that I can read this book.
The setting of this novel takes place in Post-apocalyptic North America. There are twelve different districts, which are like states in today’s America. The capital is in charge of everything just like todays. The characters are in one of the poorest districts District Twelve. They live in a small house and have to provide for a family by hunting. Hunting in the woods is prohibited and are punishable by death. The characters mainly go in the woods most of the day. They live near a coal mining industry that is the main income of the area. The setting of this novel is important because it shapes the characters personality and conditions of their health like starving and being weak. The hunger games is also the setting which is very cruel. Every year people are nominated to go and fight each other to the death, which the one of the main characters has to go to. I look forward to reading this book in English class because it is interesting and unusual
Hello, the novel I’m reading is called the hunger games. The setting of this book takes place in a run down city called district 12 inside of the used to be USA but is now called panem. the setting of the story is probably the most important part because it gives the story mood and describes how the characters act and behave. I think that the setting will have a big part in the story because the way the characters are acting now, they don’t like what’s going on and their going to change. Right now their all starving and just barely making their way by hunting, fishing, and trading on the black market. This is a big risk because just leaving the city is a huge crime. I think this is a very interesting book and im so exited to keep on reading to find out what will happen next in the hunger games.
Steven M. Holmes The setting in the book the hunger games is during the future, the country is Panem, Panem is located where the united states once was. Panem is made up of twelve different districts, each district is like a city. I predict that since this is set where the united states used to be then it will highly change the outcome of the book. I feel that the novel is good and that we should read the next 2 books in the series. The entire way that the setting is set that it feels really cool how its set in where the united states used to be. Since I have already read the book, I know its going to be good anyways. Panem used to have 13 districts until district 13 rebelled and was destroyed by the capitol. The main character lives in the seam of district 12. This is a good book.
Im am on chapter 2 and the story is set in the future. I think this setting is important because in this future the united states doesnt exist. Instead it is divided into 12 districs. I think so far this novel is good. It introdeuced the charectors very well and the setting is well set. The story so far is about a girl and her poor families struggle to survive in district 12. The main charector is a 14 year old girl and a skilled hunter. She livs with her mom and little sister. Their is a reaping day where 2 14 to 18 year olds from each district ( a boy and a girl) to fight to the death. On this years reaping day her little sister who just turned 12 is drafted. when she hears this she volinteers to take her place. That is as Far as I have read.
Jonah W Holmes 6 The setting of the novel takes place in a futuristic America which has been devastated. The country is called Panem. The first part of the story takes place in a part of the country called District 12. It is located in the Appalachian Mountains. Then it moves to place called the Capitol. It is in the Rockies. Most of the country is land that is covered with wild animals so it is forbidden to leave any of the different districts with out being on official business. I predict that the setting will be important to the story because the main character knows how to handle her self out side of the districts.
The setting of the novel The Hunger Games is based in the future United States in a poverty stricken area called District 12. The setting adds a bit of mystery as the main character Katniss breaks rules to help her family survive. The setting quickly changes and she's moved into a rich city where a "game" to the death is taken place on live television.
The setting contributes the novel as it shows what this poor girl (Katniss) has to go through to survive and help her family. This setting also draws the reader in and maybe even contributes to relating to the viewers due to the horrible economy of present day.
I personally enjoy this book to the fullest extent. This book balances the perfect amount of mystery, terror, and even some adventure that I always look for in a novel. I can also relate to this novel in some ways.
The setting of this novel is in a small town, also known as District 12 or like its citizens calls it, the Seam. The story takes place somewhere in the future, because they say that the place where they live is Panem and not North America. The town where they live is very poor, people die from starvation. Every year, they select two players for the Hunger Games from each District.
The setting is important because it tells us how people live in this place, their struggles and costumes. It is also important to know the setting so we can understand the way people act and how they will play the game.
I think this novel is fun to read, because we can predict that it will have great adventures. I think the game is an interesting idea, although I wouldn’t like it to be real.
The setting of this novel is in a small town; also Panem is the name of the country where Katniss lives with her family, a country that – after a series of vague disasters – rose from the ashes of North America. We learn the history of Panem, and the Hunger Games, and the thirteen districts in the first chapter from the mayor. So the setting might be important to this novel, because we could understand that the people are that much poor, to fight for what they need and also it would change everything. Like the country was they live in are a poor country with poor people, whom die from starvation every year. I think this story is good because I can feel how that teenager girl feel and her though.
A futuristic North America, where individuals are chosen to play in "The Hunger Games". Where they fight for their lives in the country of Panem. Kill or be killed is the burdon of the chosen ones. The setting is important to convey the stuggle for Katniss' survival. Thus far, the Hunger Games reminds me of the game World of Warcraft.
Vlad Shultsev Scheller 1st hour This story takes place in panem where there are 24 tributes that fight to the death in a arena. There is one boy and one girl from each district to fight each other for the capitals punishment and pleasure. Katniss everdeen is the main character of this book and she’s had practice for the games cause she was secretly sneaking out of her district to go hunting and put food on the table. She went to the games for her sister cause she was 12. I think this book is good so far and I recommend it.
This story has lots of characters. Some of the main characters in this book are Katniss, Haymitch, and Peeta. Katniss is one of the players of the Hunger Games. She is representing District 12. When Katniss first got to the capitol she was all harry. She had to go to a stylist to get all cleaned up. Haymitch is the trainer of Katniss and Peeta. He has been training them for the Hunger Games. He has also been to the Hunger Games and came back alive. Peeta is the other player for the Hunger Games. He is also from District 12.
I like the way that you started your comment. I totaly agree with your commet. I wish i had started my like you did. I agree that this book has adventure and action. I also agree that this book has lots of intensity throughout it.
Through out the book there has been a lot of main characters ,There’s Katniss,Peeta,Rue, Haymitch ,Gale ,and Primrose, and maybe Cinna. Katniss Is a 16 year-old girl. She is really brave and is a hunter.Katniss doesn’t have a lot of money and her family is really poor. Gale is Katniss best friend .They always hunt together. Peete is a bread boy.He make bread and sells it for money.His family have a bread shop and there bread is really good. Rue is a small girl who got picked for the hunger games. She is really good with herbs and medicine. Haymitch is the tutor for Katniss. He helps her by sending her food by the sponsers. Primrose is Katniss little sister who got picked for the hunger games but Katniss voluntered to go instead of her. Cinna was the Stylist for Katniss.She dresses in high heels and beautiful clothes.
katniss is the main character of the book.the author describes her as kinda small for her age and very skinny.shes also not the best looking girl and shes 16.her sister prim is only 12 and is very small and doesnt like adventures.she was chosen for the hunger games but she took her spot.gale is her bestfriend and her hunting partner.he promised to keep her family fed while she was at the hunger games and after if she dies.he is also 18.he is also very tall and broad.haymitch is a previous winner of the hunger games from district 12 but is a drunk and is mean when he isnt.peeta is also in the hunger games and is the male representative from ditrict 12.he is pretty strong and tries to be a good friend and ally and is the same age as katniss.
I would say Katniss and Peeta are the 2 main characters of this novel. The author uses indirect characterization to describe katniss because every time something that can be received negatively, is received negatively. This tells me that she is either paranoid, which is understandable, or just all around aggressive. A direct characterization of katniss is when she is up in the tree wrapped in the belt and says she’s skinny. A direct characterization of Peeta is that he’s big, as in buff. When Peeta scored pretty high, this indirectly told me that he must have been keeping something up his sleeve because there is no way he would have got that by just throwing weights.
Katniss is the main character. She's strong and an awesome hunter. The author tells us all about how her and Gale used to hunt together in the woods which tells me that she is determined to get food to survive. Also the author tells us how Katniss took care of her family after their dad dies and she does everything she can to make sure her little sister Prim is ok because their lost all hope. That tells me that Katniss is a very loving person because even though her mother didn't care for her after the death of their father she still tries to make sure her mom is ok by making sure she eats when they have food. Also when she tries to figure out if Peeta is being nice to her or just trying to get in her head that tells me she's smart. And lastly Peeta is nice because Katniss remembers how one time he gave her bread even though he was beat because her dropped the bread.
This is probably the best story I have read. It’s so good. I think that Katnes is a very interesting character. She seems stuck up and really whiney. She complains all the time but she does have some good qualities. She can snare traps, hunt with a knife and a bow and aero, and she is really fast. She’s probably going to use the bow an aero allot in the hunger games. She doesn’t seem like a likeable person; besides Cinaa and Gale not many other people like her. She injured Peeta before the games started and she pretty much went off on Haymitch. I dont realy like her because of her flaus and disrespectfulness, but i do respecter because of her abilties to do good in the games.
to bailey e. i pretty much agree with everything your saying and some of the things you put i left out and im wishing i added it.but its hard what to write and what not to write because you dont know how far other people have gotten into the book and if your going to give something away or they might be confused by it.but i think you made a good point.
jordan c. scheller hour 6 The main characters in the hunger games are katniss, gale,and peeta. Katniss is the main character who is a 16 year old girl who volenteered to take her sisters place in the hunger games. she seems to be brave and no very emotional because she never cries or shows emotion when she is being shipped off to the capital knowing she might die. Gale is an 18 year old boy who is preety much Katniss's best friend. Gale and Katniss would always hunt together and provide each other with food. Peeta is the other person who has been chosen to go to the games. He has a lot of emotions and seems to be fine one moment and sad/mad the next. Peeta is a strong kid who is the same age as Katniss. Katniss seems to be emotionally stronger than Peeta because when they were being shipped off he was crying for a while and Katniss didn't show any sadness.
I agree with Mitch because this book is super interesting and I can't wait to read more. This isn't the typical English class book. I'm enjoying reading it because the book is full of action and it is suspenseful. I don't want to put the book down and I look forward to finding out more of what happens.
To Andrew S. … I agree completely with what you said. I am really glad that we don’ live in this time. I like how you talked about the post apocalyptic time period. If this was present this wouldn’t happen. Over all it is very good so far.
Blake R. Scheller Hour 3 I dissagree with Mario E. I dont think that the story would be boring if the setting wasnt told tin the way it was. Most of the setting in the story is in the capital or in the arena. They do say alot in the book about that setting in the book but i dont think is realy all that important.
The main characters in The Hunger Games are Katniss and Peeta. Katniss is never completely described, as she is telling the story. However, you know that she is a smaller build because she always climbs up in trees and moves around with ease. Also, we know she is independent, and can get along on her own, because for the first half of the games, she is on her own and does fine. Peeta is described as a bulkier guy, as he is the son of the district baker. Right now the story shows him as being a bad guy, and a traitor, because he decides to travel with the career pack in the games.
The characters in The Hunger Games are characterized in many ways; directly and indirectly. The main, Katniss , is never clearly described because it is from her point of view. Most of her characterization is indirect. We know she is very independent because Katniss was forced to take care of her whole family at a young age when her father was killed. I think this independence will be invaluable during the Hunger Games. Another character is Peeta. Peeta is the other tribute from district twelve. He is directly characterized as big and strong. This will be helpful in the Hunger Games but I don’t think it will be enough to win. He also states that he loves Katniss which is direct characterization.
I completely agree with you. This book is very good and has a great plot. I also have been planning on reading this book for a while, but haven’t got around to it until now. Also, I look forward to coming to English class a lot more now as well. In fact, I have been almost tempted to get it from the county library and read it on my own time, but they were out of copies.
I strongly agree with your opinion. The description of the setting was nearly perfect. I also agree that this book will get exciting later on. I can’t wait to come to English to read it. However, it is somewhat boring in the first few chapters, as you said.
The main characters in this story are katniss , prim , peeta and gale. Prim katnisses sister is chosen to be in the hungar games.but katniss takes her place because she is so young.peeta is the bakers son and he is chosen for the boys.gale is katnisses friend that always goes hunting with her to get food. the author talks mostly about katniss because she is the main character . She is chosen with peeta to go to the hungar games and they get all the food they can eat and their rooms are fancy .
The hunger games takes place in a post apocalyptic nation called Panem, were north America used to be. The Nation is split into the “Capitol” and 13 lesser districts, in which the 13th district was destroyed in a rebellion. The story started focusing on district 12, which which is in the Appalachian region is an important part of the story, because it is where the main character, Katniss, lives and where the story unfolds. The setting gives you a picture of how life is in the post-apocalyptic city is. I think the novel is amazing. I usually hate reading and books, but I can’t seem to put this one down! It’s suspenseful, and full of twists. I predict that in the actual hunger games, Katniss will have to kill her fellow tribute, Peeta. Or maybe they’ll start another rebellion, in act of defying the corrupt government. Right now its kinda dull, but I know it will get better.
I agree that this is a good book for anyone who enjoys action/adventure. Those are the kinds of book I like to read and now I look forward to English everyday just so that I can read that book. I also like the suspense the author creates, or the intensity as you said.
I have to disagree with you where you say that their health is very bad because of the district they live in. Just because they live in a poor place, doesn’t mean they have bad health. Katniss is in great shape, and is a great hunter because of the way she gets her food.
Mike W. Scheller Hour 4 The main characters in this book are Katniss, peeta, and haymitch. Katniss is skinny, grimy and poor. She is also very smart in who she trust and how she handles situations. Peeta is strong, bug and he is a male. Indirectly he is kind he gave katniss bread when she couldn’t get food. Haymitch is fat, sloppy, grimy and rude. He is a really bad drunk who is always drunk and doesn’t really care about anything else. For right now Katniss and Peeta are acting like friends but when the hunger games come up their going to have to kill each other.
To amir s Daniel I I agree with your statement, I think the book is very interesting and the setting of the book really plays a role in how katniss and gale live . I like the book so far its really interesting. I think if you keep reading the book you will like it.
The story is very suspenseful . the two main characters in the story at the moment are, Rue and Katniss. Rue, is a 12 year old tribute from district 8. She is very agile, can swing around trees and is hard to catch. She is very shy and quiet. Katniss is very truthful, careful and suspecting. In the end, they trust each other enough to sleep in the same sleeping bag. They are both smart and can live off the land, which keeps both of them from starving in the hunger games. So them teaming up is a good thing.
Mitch m I agree with you comment. Your comment is accurate and detailed on how the setting of the story affects the main characters. I agree on how they have to fish and hunt for their survival but it is illegal and punishable by death.
Steven M. White\ Holmes 5th The main characters in my book, the Hunger Games are Katniss, Prim, Gale, Peeta, Rue, And Haymitch. Katniss is first characterized as a girl from district 12 that volunteers for the hunger games in place of her sister prim. Katniss is described as a raggy young girl that hunts for food for her family, her father died in a mining accident about 5 years before. Prim is characterized first as katnisses sister, prim was chosen to be the girl tribute from district 12 even though she is only like 9. Gale is characterized as katnisses friend that lives outside of panem illegally, gale goes hunting with katniss everyday.
Derek T. Holmes/White Hour 5 There are a lot of characters in this book. Most of them are indirectly characterized but there is some direct characterization too. One Main character is Katniss. She is the most important character to the story. She is an adventuress, caring girl who is a skilled hunter. I know this because she cares for her mom and sister. When her sister got drafted to the hunger games, she volunteered to take her place. I know she is a skilled hunter because her friend gale says it in the story. She also kills a variety of animals in the story. Another main character is Peeta. He was also drafted into the hunger games. He is big, strong, and sweet. I know this because in the story katniss holds him because he is big and sturdy. I know he is sweet because katniss says it in the story. He also gives her a loaf of bread when she is starving. Gale is also a main character. He is katniss’ best friend. He is also a skilled hunter and is caring. I know this because he helps katniss hunt and says he will take care of katniss’ mom and sister when she is away.
Mitch M. 5th Holmes/ white Hi, the main characters in this story include a girl named katniss .she and her friends all live in a place called district 12. Her friends include Haymitch, peeta, and prim. Prim is her sister who doesn’t like to kill but is great at harvesting and finding good to eat berries. Haymitch is rich and cocky but is a good leader and a very good hunter. peeta is just trying to get by and goes hunting and gathering with katniss and prim, but sometimes feels he has to prove himself to Haymitch because he has competition issues’.
The Main characters in the story are Katniss, Prim, Gale, Peeta, and Haymitch. Katniss lives in district 12 she is one of the girl tributes from district 12 she took her sisters place in the hunger games. Prim she is an eight year old girl she was chosen to be the tribute but her sister Katniss volunteered to take her spot in the hunger games. Gale he is Katniss’s friend he lives in the outer woods part of district 12 Peeta he is the guy how said he is in love with Katniss on TV at the hunger games. Haymitch he is Peeta’s and Katniss’s mentor and he hlps them prepare for the hunger games and talks to people to sponsor them
Steven M. Holmes 5th To Mitch, I agree with your statement about the setting and how it gives the story mood and tone. I feel that how you described the setting is perfect for telling a person that hasn’t read the book about it. If I hadn’t already read this book then your comment would make me want to read it.
Derek T. Holmes/White Hour 5 To Mitch, I agree that the setting of this story is a futuristic united states. I also agree that the setting is an important part of the story. I also think that this story is very interesting and I am excited to keep reading it too.
Derek T. Holmes/White Hour 5 To Jagjot, I agree with you when you say that this story is good for people that like action and adventure because this book is filled with it. I also agree that when katniss took her sisters spot in the games was very brave and it shows a lot of care for her sister.
mitch m. holmes/ white 5th Dear vlad I think you are totally right when you said this book is all about action and adventure. Also I agree with you when you said that she could be killed if she was found out in the woods. I also like the fact than your Russian.
Yes I eggrey with you this book is very good and it is great for people who like adventure, action and leaning out of your chair book. I like this book so far and I think it well get better and better it garbs my attention and I can’t put it down.
Carson M. Diane Holmes Hour 6 May 12, 2011 Katniss is the MAIN character of the whole story and the plot revolves around her. Katniss is a 16 year old girl that comes from district 12 ( one of the poorest districts). Katniss has long brown hair and is very skinny due to being underfed. Katniss is a rebel and supports her family by illegally hunting and providing food to her family and selling off her hunts to others in her district who then trade money/ items for them. Peeta is the 2nd main character and is the boy tribute for district 12. Peeta is a part of a family of bakers. He’s very well built and is the same age as katniss. Peeta excels in camouflage, Lifting.
Jonah W Holmes 6th May 12, 2011 Katniss: She is the main character of the story. The book is told from her point of view. Katniss is a 16 year old girl that comes from District 12 (one of the poorest districts). Katniss has long brown hair and is skinny due to the lack of food. She is rebellious because she illegally hunts to feed her family. Peeta: Peeta is the other tribute from District 12. His family owns the city bakery and is well fed. He is the same age as Katniss. Peeta is really good at lifting weights and camouflage.
The main character in The Hunger Games is Katniss a girl whose sister was pulled from the real world into The Hunger Games, but instead of her sister going into a world of life or death, Katniss takes her place. Directly, I think Katniss actions in the story are misleading to other characters in this story because when she is paired with someone who she might haft to kill just to stay alive, Katniss will get riley close to them making the other character who she is paired with not willing to kill her, but Katniss knows in the back of her mind that she will haft to kill them instead. Indirectly, I think Katniss sounds like a girl who at some times knows and doesn’t know what to do in a life or death situation. She can plan a death stealthy, but can she riley kill someone?
I agree with Amir on the setting how it was destroyed and its a fight for survival. Because with everyone poor it is a struggl to live, no food to buy and the people are dieing from starvation. Also it is diffiicult for a teenage girl to go through such a hard conflict.
To Derek, I agree with your comment about the setting on the hunger games. The way that you describe it and how you explain the way that the setting affects the outcome is very well written. If I hadn’t already read this book and I saw your comment it would make me want to read it.
vlad shultsev scheller 1st a internal conflict for this book is how peeta loves katniss but katniss thinks its fake and plays along with him cause the crowd thinks there star crossed lovers. Katniss plays along so that haymitch could send gifts to them during the games. Peeta believes they are in love. Katniss just wants to put on a show for the capital. This is an internal conflict cause katniss just plays along with it and doesn’t believe they are in love but peeta actually thinks they are. They were acting like they liked each other in the games. They had to find each other in the games cause there was a rule change I the hunger games. The tone the author gives in this book is intense cause u want to know what going to happen next on the next page. The mood of this story is happy and excited cause u want to know more.
I agree with Amir S. I can understand how Katniss would feel because we are about the exact same age. I can imagine how I would feel if I had to say goodbye to my family and possibly never see them again. And I can imagine how hard and confusing it would be if me and a boy were suppossed to act like friends but know we are going to have to kill each other. It must be awful for Katniss having to go throught all that by herself with no help from friends or family.
Jordan c. Scheller Hour 3 @ Austin F. The setting of this book is important because Katniss going to the hunger games is basically her representing her district. As you get further into the book Katniss and peter start the games and the setting of the games is very important since that is what this whole book is about. I hope later on in the book you actually get to find out about panem and what happened to North America.
I am really enjoying this book so far. I love how smart Katniss is bout staying alive. She uses a lot of skill when planning ever move. I am really wondering about Peeta though. I don’t know if he’s dead or not and if he is going to jump out of the bushes and kill her or just want to be an ally.
I agree that the setting is kind of important to the story. Although the main characters are in the arena. Its like it shows there back round but that’s about it. But I like how you said its North America. I honestly did not know it was in north America.
I agree with Austin F. I thought this book would be one of those ones where after the first feew chapters I would be able to figure out exactly what was going to happen and who was going to win the Hunger Games. But I have no idea on any of these. This book is so supencefull that it makes for a good entaining read.
Jordan c. Scheller Hour 3 So far I think this is a great book. It has a lot of action, adventure and suspense. I don’t normally read books but this book is really good. I hope I’m able to finish it in the time we have left and if I don’t I might actually check it out at the library.
I agree that the setting is kind of important to the story. Although it’s mostly in the Hunger Games arena. Its like it shows there back round but that’s about it. But I like how you said it’s North America. And yes its a very good book.
There are many internal conflicts in the Hunger Games. One of the most noticeable conflicts is the love affair between Katniss and Peeta. Peeta reveals early in the book that he likes Katniss. However Katniss doesn’t feel the same way. On the other hand, this is what the audience wants so if she goes along with it all there is a possibility they could both receive more presents from sponsors. I predict that Katniss will go along with this to get the sponsor prizes but actually end up liking Peeta. The mood of this seems to be a change from the action in the rest of the book. It feels soothing to know there is ther stuff happening
There are a lot of conflicts in The Hunger Games, both internal and external.An external conflict in the story is the fact that Katniss is in an arena with 23 other people that want to kill her. She has to battle throughout the whole thing to stay alive. I predict that at the end of the story both Katniss and Peeta are going to stay alive and will be the first duo to stay alive in the games. The tone of the story is intense. The whole part of the book during the games is suspenseful and makes you want to keep reading.
Mike.w Scheller Hour 4th An external conflict in the story is Katniss trying to find water. She is in the middle of the hunger games far from anyone else and wondering around in some huge forest. She didn’t go to this area where people start off to get supplies, she was smart and went the other way so she wouldn’t be killed the only problem is she didn’t pick up any thing with water in it. She soon begins to feel dehydrated and sick she knows what the problem is but cant do anything about but to keep walking. When she just about gave up hope and was ready to die she feel down and felt mud with her fingertips and knew their was water and her external problem was solved.
The conflicts the character in the book faces are very dangerous . One of the external conflicts in this story is katniss is picked to participate in the hungar which is a world wide battle that consists of two kids from all 12 districs these kids are called tributes. Katniss hunts for food for her family but she is scared about participating in the hungar games. An internal conflict the character faces is her family is really poor and they don’t have enough food soo katniss has to risk her life to go hunt food for her family . She has a younger sister named prime that was chosen before her but katniss steped in and took primes spot so that prime wouldn’t have to fight
I agree with your post vlad s. I think the hungar games is a great book it has a lot of action and its very intense. I like the hungar games and I think if people keep reading it they will like it to. The book is defiantly a page turner.
I completely agree with you. I think this book is wonderful and you did a great job explaining the setting. Also, I too have been planning on reading the book but haven’t gotten around to it till now. Our original blogs were actually quite similar in most ways, and I think you would agree with me also.
I think you did a great job describing the setting. I said everything you said in my blog too. By the way, I have also wanted to read this book for a long time but simply never got the chance. I also agree with your prediction that Katniss will be in the hunger games, because other otherwise what would the story be about.
Mike w Scheller Hour 4 To Andrews I also agree that the setting of this book is in Post- Apocalyptic North America. I also heard of this book in seventh grade and didn’t even think about reading it. Now I actually look forward to coming to English class every day. So I agree with your comment.
I agree with your statement Jordan c. The book is really good I cant seem to stop reading it. Even thought the book is really long its really a page turner. I cant believe how much courage katniss must have for fighting in the hungar games and she hunts to which I think will come in handy when shes on the field . I cant wait to finish the book.
I disagree with you where you said, “conditions of their health like starving and being weak.” They might be poor, but a not all of them are starving, and Katniss is defiantly not weak. As her job, which is unofficial, but it is how she gets money, she has to do a lot of exercise and it puts her in very good health and she is very strong.
I strongly agree with your idea that the fact that Katniss can hunt and live out side the boarders will help her in the Hunger Games. I think that most of the other contestants will not be able to hunt, make a fire, or even know which plants are safe to eat. I predict many people will end up starving instead of being killed
Mike w Scheller Hour 4 To Luke M I agree with your comment completely you summed up the setting very nicely with accurate details on what the place is the people in and the reason why it is such a bad place. I also think you described the hunger games and their rules very nicely.
A character with internal and external conflict is Katniss. Katniss has external conflict because she is being forced into the hunger games to fight to the death against 23 other competitors. She also has to impress the judges and the crowd to gain sponsors to have a chance of wining. An internal conflict that Katniss has is her worrying about how her family is doing; If their starving or homeless. Also having to fake being friends with peeta. She is having a hard time trying to not show her feelings for him. She also is having a hard time trying t not have feelings period.
The story im reading is the hunger games and there is lots of conflict in this book. The most conflict in this book is internal conflict with katniss because she is going threw a difficult time. I think she is acting like this because she is stressed that she is the one leading her family and she has to leave. One of the situations I think she has internal conflict is when katniss almost shoot one of the officials when they weren’t paying attention to her but to the meal they were about to eat. And thank you for reading this.
The tone of this novel changes throughout the story. At some points it’s sad and depressing. At others it’s cheerful and inspiring. The tone also changes throughout the novel. At the part when Katniss is starving in the rain I feel sad and sympathetic. But when peeta gives her bread you feel happy and inspired that you can get through anything. When Katniss is riding the carriage and everyone is cheering for her you feel good. So it is hard to pick an exact tone and mood because they change throughout the novel a lot.
To Mitch M. I agree with you when you say that the setting that the story takes place in the future is very important. The character act according to the setting and that makes it very important.
The internal conflict of the book the hunger games is that peeta LOVES katniss and has the hot’s for her but she does not like him but he keeps announcing that he loves her very much in front of the whole country but se does not like him because he is ugly stupid and annoying and keep distracting her from her place in the hunger games and making her mess up but she can not mess up in the hunger games because she is the representative for her district this book is the best book ever.
To Vlad S. I agree that this story is great for people that like action and adventure because there are a lot of both in this novel. This story is actually intriguing to me. And I hate books. I can’t stand boring books but I actually like this book because it has action and adventure.
Yes I egger with you this book is very good and it is great for people who like adventure, action and leaning out of your chair book. I like this book so far and I think it well get better and better it garbs my attention and I can’t put it down.
Katniss, the main character, is struggling with poverty. Every day she goes to a forbidden forest and hunts animals, and collect fruits and vegetables. Her father died when she was only twelve years old, and since then she is taking care of her mother and her sister. But because she volunteered to go to the Hunger Games instead of her little sister, I believe all of her poverty will end. If she wins the Hunger Games, which I predict she will, she will be rich and won’t be struggling with money anymore. The tone that the author created I think is depressed in the begging of the book, because it talked about all of Katniss’ struggles and how the place she lives in is poor and everybody is struggling with starvation.
An External Conflict would be Katniss and Capitol, Katniss has to survive in a terrifying game the Capitol has set up to remind the districts to not rebel and to remind them that the Capitol is in FULL control.. Katniss wants to stay alive and rebel, but the Capitol won’t allow her to stay alive without all her effort and the Capitol will not allow anybody to rebel. Katniss fights to make sure her family is safe and she does not trust anybody from the Capitol. The Capitol sets up traps to specifically make the arena devastating for anyone involved and shortens their chances of survival by a great amount.
The mood of the story The Hunger Games is exciting. The author created her story in a way to keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting to read more.
An external conflict in the book is Katniss in the Hunger games and in the Capitol. She is alone in the arena and can not trust anyone but herself. She has to survive so she can home to see her sister and mother. To make matters worse the capitol has traps that make the game harder. While there is a group of kids that have trained for the Hunger Games for their whole life is hunting her down.
The mood of the Hunger Games is exciting. It makes you want to keep reading the story
Katniss struggles with her emotions toward another male in the Hunger Games. She finds him attractive and caring and has developed strong feeling for him. She must be caution with her sensitivity toward him because she realizes he could be luring her into a trap. If she allows her emotion to get the best of her, one wrong turn and she is dead. I think her reaction to her inter conflict should be focused on what is in her best interest. Katniss should consider turning the table on him to protect herself at all cost. I believe this will be the outcome of Katniss' decision.
Internal conflict about this book is about Peeta loving Katniss.When Peeta declared his love to her she went ballistic but i knew she didnt mean to because she tought Peeta was just acting.As it got farther in the book Peeta and Katniss started getting closer together embracing each other and kissing.When the hunger games ended all that was just a kind of act so they would both be out alive. I think that Katniss and Peeta should be together. Katniss should Watch out tho just incase Peeta is trying to pull a trap on her.This is the best book i have read all year long and suggest reading the 2nd and 3rd book.
I have to agree with Jonathan S. Katniss really is struggling againts her emotions with Peeta because Katniss wants to feel safe around Peeta but doesnt know if she should let her guard down.But i also have to disagree with Jonathan S. Because i think she shouldnt hurt Peeta or do nothing to him.Protecting Peeta and her may be Difficult and being by herself may be the besy choice but she knows that if she lefts him die there she would regret it for the rest of her life.
To Basheir L. I Totally Disagree with you that Katniss doesnt like Peeta. I think that Peeta isnt getting in the way of Katniss because he just wants to protect her from getting hurt.I know Peeta doesnt really know anything about killing because hes just a bread boy but i think that Peeta will do something to make Katniss lower her guard and help her out
the conflict is internal and external because the main character katniss lives in a time were people take a group of people and make them fight for there entertainment they call it the hunger games and every Pearson is required to participate if chosen so when katneiss's sister is called she immediately substitutes her self for her sister and she has to fight to stay alive against 24 other people and only one partner. Katniss is struggling with poverty. Actually she is like a dad for her sister and has to go to a forbidden forest and hunts animals, and collect fruits and vegetables. Her father died when she was only twelve years old, and since she’s taking care of her mom and her sister.
I think the tone author created is kind of upset, but it is very interesting when you reading it.
@ FelipeM
Your external conflict for the character is really good, actually everyone can understand that how the character Katniss is, but also you need to give more details about her. I like that Felipe, but I am not sure what is going to end of the book. I hope she is the winner one in the hunger games.
@ Jagjot K.
Jagjot I like that you talk about Katniss and Peeta’s relationship, because it is important and basically no one’s did talk about that. And I agree about the mood with you, the author wants you to keep reading and get to that point, beside kind of the tone is sad. I think you need to talk more about Katniss and how she likes Peeta also. At all I like your comment Jagjot.
The Hunger Games is a suspense filled adventure, with twists to almost every page. If you enjoy reading books with death, love, and friendship, you will definitely enjoy this book. I haven't even finished the book, and already I love it. When Peeta tells that he is in love with Katniss, I was shocked. I thought that something might happen between them, but I never expected it to happen like that. My favorite part so far was when The Hunger Games actually started. Katniss had to fight a boy for a pack, and someone stabbed him in the back. When Katniss was running away, a girl threw a knife at her. Lucky for Katniss, she didn’t get stabbed, but instead got a free knife to use. I can’t wait to finish the book and find out who wins (even though it’s pretty obvious). I also can’t wait to read Catching Fire!
The book hunger games is a good book for people that like action drama and romance. I believe that this book is good because it has a good plot and setting and it gets very intense throughout the book. In this book katniss everdeen is the main character in this book. She lived in the seam where all the poor people lived and she went out into the woods to get food for her sister prim and for her mother. Every year there are the hunger games that the capital holds and one boy and one girl from each district is chosen to fight to the death. When they picked the girls name, prim katniss sister was chosen to be in the hunger games but katniss wouldn’t let that happen to her sister so she volunteered. During the games katniss was doing good and passed the first day and she didn’t want to let people know her defense yet which is a bow and arrow. The boy that was picked from her district was peeta. During the games there was a rule change that u can have two victors. The victors of the games were district 12. This book got me to read the second one.
I agree with u on this book cause I like all the action and drama and whatever this book gives you. My favorite part of this book is when peeta and katniss can be allies and that two victors can be chosen for the games. Another one of my favorites is when they had to face against cato at the cornucopia sand the mutated mutts had to fight against them. I like this book.
Vlad s Scheller To Mario E I agree with you like I did to jagjot that this book does get intense and exciting. Katniss doesn’t like peeta so she can just play along with the romance thing for the capital and all of panem. Peeta thought that she liked him and he didn’t know that it was just for show.
Amir, When you say "partner" What exactly do you mean? There can only be 1 winner, so that means all 23 people are going to die. And if you are saying Peeta and Katniss are partners, How do you expect there be one winner?
I thought this book was so good. The action and how suspenseful it was is what kept me interested in reading it the whole time. I just finished the book and now I just want to read the second book to figure out what happens. My favorite part was when Katniss had to act romantic toward Peeta to stay alive. She said that she didn’t want to think about her real feelings for Peeta until after the Hunger Games but even after they won she didn’t want to talk about it. I can’t decide if I want her to end up with Peeta or Gale. I don’t think we know enough about Gale to know who would be right for her. The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was how they had to kill people. There was a bit too much detail about how exactly they would hunt and kill humans and it kind of freaks me out. Another one of my favorite parts is in the very beginning when Katniss takes Prim’s part in the Hunger Games. It showed me how much Katniss loves her little sister and that kind of stuff makes me happy. I didn’t like how the book just ended. I got to the end and was confused but still I think this book amazing. I would recommend this book to everyone. If you like a book with action, love, and/or suspense then this book is totally for you.
Ethan B. Scheller 3rd hour I really enjoyed this book. It is by far the best book I’ve read in a long time. I’m usually not a big reader, but I loved this book enough to read the second one in the series, Catching fire, which I also highly recommend. This book is full of intense twists and turns making me look forward to the hour of reading I got to do most days. I like how Katniss cares and puts on a false love for Peeta just to keep the both of them alive. The author did a great job of describing every scene so that I could picture I was there. I really don’t have any complaints of the book. It is perfectly paced always keeps me interested. I highly recommend this book to anyone, even if they aren’t really in to reading. So far the second one is just as good and I can’t wait for the third.
Katniss Everdeen is a teenage girl who lives in District 12, an impoverished coal-mining region in the country of Panem. She's a volunteer tribute in Panem's annual Hunger Games, having taken the place of her younger sister in an act of heroic self-sacrifice.
Peeta Mellark is selected as the tribute for District 12, all we really know about him is that he's a baker's son, a little bit emotional and that Katniss really wishes he hadn't been the one chosen as her co-tribute. Over the course of the novel, though, we learn that he played a large part in helping Katniss's family survive after her father's death. For this, Katniss feels deeply indebted to him. Peeta is also totally and completely in love with Katniss Everdeen.
Gale is Katniss's hunting partner and closest friend from District 12. As Katniss tells us, he's "good-looking, he's strong enough to handle the work in the mines, and he can hunt”. The two characters have a good deal in common, from their backgrounds, to their family situations, to their shared harsh opinions on Panem's government. There's also some romantic tension simmering beneath the surface, but for now it has yet to come to a full boil.
Prim is Katniss's twelve-year-old sister, of whom she is fiercely protective. As Katniss says, "I protect Prim in every way I can, but I'm powerless against the reaping". This turns out to be not entirely true. Prim was originally chosen as District 12's tribute during the annual reapings, but Katniss made the ultimate sacrifice for her family and volunteered to take her sister's place.
Katniss's Mom is a skilled healer, though she suffered from severe depression after Katniss's father died. For this, Katniss greatly resents her. Katniss's mother is not the survivor that her daughter is. We also learn that Katniss's mother gave up a life with her well-off parents to marry Katniss's father, a poor coal miner. Peeta's father was also in love with Katniss's mother
I completely finished the book and wow I loved it. The book had so many unexpected turns and the way it turned out I was not expecting at all. This was such a good book I really don’t know what was and wasn’t my favorite part. I would say my least favorite would be the situation with Rue being killed by the boy from district 1 (hopefully I didn’t give anything away) because that was something I wasn’t expecting and I thought rue would last a little longer throughout the book. But once again that’s what made the book good. You weren’t expecting it. If I had to recommend this book to a certain person I would honestly recommend it to everyone. I’m not a big fan of reading at all but this book is an exception. I would say read this book because right from the beginning it’s interesting and hooks you in.
Mario E I disagree with you. I think Katniss didn’t really like Peeta in the beginning but now I think she is in love with him. Even though it just seems like she’s only acting that way to stay alive but I really think deep down she really does care for him a lot. She just is having a hard time with it because she isn’t sure about Gale. I think once she talks to him then her feelings about Peeta will be clear.
Jordan c. Scheller Hour 3 I still have not finished this book yet but it is by far one of the best books I’ve read. It has action, adventure, and suspense. You never really know what is going to happen next or who is going to die. This book in the beginning is kind of boring by as you get further into it it gets a lot better. The beginning is basically Katniss telling you about her life and how she hunts with her friend Gale. As you get further into the book more action and adventure comes in and then when the hunger games begin the book gets more suspenseful. Hopefully when I have free time in class I will be able to finish this book and find out what happens in the end and if Katniss lives to win the games or dies. This is a great book and if you like books with a lot of action this is a good book to read.
Ethan B. Scheller 3rd hour In response to Amir S. I agree with your statement saying the internal conflict is when Katniss replaces her sister’s spot in the hunger games. I don’t agree when u say the mood is upset though. I think the book is more of an ere feeling when she is in the arena but a sad and intense feeling before they begin.
“The Hunger Games” is more than just an action novel waiting to be turned into a PG-13 movie. There are a bunch of big ideas driving the book, from the injustice of a few people living in comfort while the rest of the world goes hungry to the priority placed on entertainment in a society where many do without necessities.
Jordan c Scheller Hour 3 @ Felipe M I think with Katniss struggling with poverty will help her in the hunger games. She will be used to being hungry when the other tributes like the careers won’t be used to it. She could probably survive longer without food because she never eats that much in her district because she is poor and cannot afford it.
To Derek T I completely agree with you in the fact the tone changes but I also wouldn’t go as far as you did. I mean yeah it was kind of sad when Katniss was starving and then Peeta gave her the bread but I wouldn’t say I felt happy after that. Peeta took a beating after that and that’s still sad.
Jordan c. Scheller Hour 3 @Basheir L I think the thing with peeta “loving” Katniss is actually real. In the games he saves her life from Cato killing her and basically takes a beating to save her. Katniss’s and peeta’s trainers probably told peeta to say his real feelings to make the crowd like them more and possibly make them get more sponsors.
To Jonathan S I agree with you completely. But what you’re saying also shows how far you are into the book. You’ve probably read more by now and if your far enough you now know that Katniss’s feelings for “the male” have changed completely but you still don’t know the whole story of how she really feels.
I really liked the book The Hunger Games. It was interesting all the way through till the end. And when the end hit it just stopped. Most people I think would be mad at how it ended but I was happy it ended that way because it made me want to read the other book. The whole idea of the book is amazing, how it has Katniss and Petaa who go to the Hunger Games and end up joining together to help one another win. This book did have a lot of flaws, like when Petaa stayed by himself for around two days before Katniss found him he would not have lived because his wound was way too bad. The most exciting part of the book I think was rite as the Hunger Games start. As soon as it did about five people died. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
Blake R Scheller 3rd To Ethan B I agree with the fact that Petta must have been hiding something up his sleeve because how would throwing weights protect u from a spear being thrown at you or a arrow going through u. I think after reading the story that his best skill was camouflage.
Ethan B. Scheller 3rd In response to Derek T. I like how you described the tone if this novel. It changes very often during the novel, changing from sad and sympathetic to cheery and hopeful in a matter of moments. Like when thresh had her in his grasps and decided to let her go to repay the debt.
I disagree with FelipeM. I don’t think the mood is depressing at all. I’m happy when Peeta and Katniss get together and when she has Rue as a friends. I can see how you might think it’s depressing because of all her problems but its more about her overcoming them. I think the mood is more exciting than depressing
Blake R Scheller 3rd To Andrew S I agree hundered percent with what you have said about how she is unclear about what she looks like and how she has to pretty much provide food for her family. This pretty important considering how young prim is and how her mother can go into depression any time.
My final thoughts about The Hunger Games are that it was excellent. It was one of the best books I have read. I really want to continue reading the series in hopes that it will be just as good as the first one. The next book is Catching Fire, which also includes Katniss and Peeta as the main characters. However, now that the games are over I have no clue what this one will be about. All I can do is guess until I start reading, which will hopefully be soon. My favorite thing about the book was about how intense and suspenseful it was while Katniss was in the games. It always kept me reading on and not wanting to put it down. While I was reading, I actually enjoyed coming to English class and reading the whole time. In conclusion, this book was fantastic, and I recommend that everyone should read it.
The Hunger Games is one of my favorite books I have ever read before. One of my favorite parts in this book was when Katniss dropped the tracker jacker nest on the career tributes. I thought this was a very smart and cunning plan to escape the careers and possibly kill a few in the process I used to read a lot in elementary school but I kind of stopped reading, unless I had to, in middle school. Now after reading this book, I want to continue reading the rest of the series. This book had so much suspense and kept me reading till the bell rang. For the first time I actually looked forward to coming to English class. I am really looking forward to the next book, Catching Fire. However, now that the games are over I have no idea what the next books could possibly be about. In conclusion, I think everyone should read this book.
The hungar games is a great book . I like the book for many reasons. First I liked the book because it was very intense. The book had a lot of fighting and it wasn’t hard to follow. I think if more people were to read this book they would like it because there is a lot of fighting and it has a lot of detail. I would recommend this book to a lot of high school kids because I think they would enjoy this book , I know I did. Basicly this book takes place in north America after a the world was destroyed with wars the main character is a girl named prime. She and her friend go hunting for her family to survive. There is this drawing to see who goes to the hungar games and primes little sister gets chosen but she takes her place because she doesn’t want her to get hurt. Over all I liked this book.
I think that “the Hunger Games” is an amazing book. It was so good; I actually finished it instead of getting bored and quitting the book. I thought that it was very intense, and very interesting from the beginning to the end. Although the ending didn’t seem good, I figured out it was actually setting up for the next book, which picks up right where “the hunger games” leaves off. This is in all, my favorite book. There are so many twists that keep you wondering and wanting to read on. I am going to read the next two books to see what will happen. I can’t wait for to read the rest of katniss’ adventure in panem. In conclusion, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an action packed thriller, suspenseful, with a little bit of romance. This book will keep you wondering what will happen after every page.
I agree with your post when you said katniss will end up liking peeta even though for the time being she is just doing it to get gifts. Although she didn’t fall in love with him in this book, I think she will in the later books. I want this to happen because the author pretty much set it up perfectly.
Andrew S Scheller Hour 4 Response to Luke M Luke, you chose a very obvious conflict. Without Katniss being in the Hunger Games there would be no story at all. However I do agree with your choice of words to describe the tone. “Intense” is a perfect description of how the author is trying to make us feel
Andrew S Scheller Hour 4 Response to Jonah W The external conflict you chose is very obvious yet still very important to the story. Without Katniss being in the Hunger Games there would be no story. But I think the Hunger Games could be considered internal since Katniss has to think of ways to stay alive and outsmart the other tributes.
I agree with your comment about the conflict about katniss trying to find water. That is a big deal because she almost dies because towards the beginning when the games start she can’t find any and she almost dies because of it. I can imagine how miserable that would be to not have any water.
I agree that her external conflict was trying to find water. In the beginning she had the option to either, fight for supplies or run into the woods. She ran so her conflict was that she didn’t have water/food. Katniss fought with herself to survive and overcame this obstacle.
Mike W. Scheller. Hour 4 The Hunger Games is the best book I’ve ever read. It is very entertaining because it has a lot of twist and unexpected things that pop up in the worst time for the characters. The book also makes you wonder if this could happen to you and what would you do in their situation. My favorite part that I’ve read to is when she blows up the food crates with her bow and arrow. I couldn’t imagine trying to make that shot with an old fashion style of bow. I also couldn’t imagine making that shot knowing that one of my friends is in the woods all alone and people are trying to kill them. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a suspenseful story that will keep you entertained for a long time. I actually look forward to coming into the class and reading it every day.
Mike W. Scheller. Hour 4 To vlad I agree with your comment on the book. This book does contain a lot of adventure and action. This book had me leaning out of my seat every couple of pages with all the unexpected twist in it. I also like this book because the non-stop intensity action.
Mike w Scheller. Hour 4 To Mario E I have seen this book in a lot of places but never had the chance to read it or the want to read it. I agree with your onion on this book being very good. I agree with the setting being a huge part of the book and how if it wasn’t there the book would have no life or character.
I agree because Peeta thinks they’re in love when Katniss is faking. And to the audience, they do seem like star-crossed lovers. But in reality, they are very different and katniss even wanted to kill peeta at one point. But in the end they become friends put Peeta still acts like he loves her, even thought she doesn’t love him back.
I feel that hunger games was a fairly good book after all, when I first started reading it I had thought that it was going to suck but once I got to the part where they were in the games it started to get interesting. If you like action or fiction books I would recommend this for you. What I have to say about the book is that it is VERY boring in the beginning. But if you stick through the beginning and get to the part where there in the games themselves then you will get hooked very soon after that. I really liked the hunger games because it combined fiction with action. Another thing about the hunger games is that it has a genre that I particularly dislike, romance. I would personally recommend this book for both girls and boys who like action, fiction, and romance.
Mitch m. Holmes/ white 5th The book I’m reading is the hunger games and it is a great book for people who hate to read. I say that because for people who hate to read are only because they never found a book they like. I’m one of the people who hate to read but I love this book. I think I like this book so much because it has action, fights and dramatic parts that really interesting me and want me to read more. Some of the things that don’t make me want to read is the begging story. I think that there are too many unimportant things that make me want to quit. I mean you have to have some story line but I think there was too much. The one part of the book where I wanted to read more and more was when the actual games started, that was where it got really interesting.
Derek Tankerlsey Holmes/White Hour 5 This book has a very good story to it and interesting characters. I liked the book and think other people should read it. I didn’t finish this book but from what I read it was a good book. I liked it because it was exciting and interesting. Unlike other books this one wasn’t boring and dull. This book has a good story line and interesting characters. I also like this book because it was kind of realistic and could happen in real life. This book can also relate to real. Life like if you’re being forced to do something, standing up for someone, or trying to overcome something. So a lot of different people can relate to this book in many different ways. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure or can just relate to this story in any way.
Derek Tankerlsey Holmes/White Hour 5 To Mike W. I agree that katniss not being able to find water is a huge external conflict; because she could die without it. I also agree that not going to get supplies and going where everyone else went was smart but not getting water was bad.
The book I read was the hunger games it was not that good of a book I think. I thought it was too long and too fictional the story never grabbed my attention only at the part at the hunger games but the other parts were boring I would recommended it if you are a fiction action adventure and like to read long book and enjoy reading but I would not read it if you are not a big fan of reading and don’t enjoy reading fictional books and very long books so at the end to some this whole thing up I did not like it just parts of it.
Derek Tankerlsey Holmes/White Hour 5 To Amir S. I agree with you that this story has external and internal conflict and they both affect the story. I also agree that katniss is struggling with poverty. I think this because she tells a story of how she was starving and laying on the ground when peeta gave her bread and she lived.
Mitch m. Holmes/ white 5th To steven I agree with you comment. Your comment is accurate and detailed on how the setting of the story affects the main characters. I agree on how they have to fish and hunt for their survival but it is illegal and punishable by death.
Mitch m. Holmes/ white 5th To ray I defiantly agree with you when you said the story was super suspenseful. Like I said before that this book is for anyone who doesn’t like to read and I can almost guaranty that you will want to read this book cover to cover and love the message, the story and the characters.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The beginning of the book is a little slow, but as the hunger games starts and all the action begin, the book becomes really interesting. Unfortunately I could not finish the whole book, but with the amount I read about it I could see it was a really good book. In this book, kids are chosen to fight in the Hunger Games, and the selection is random according to each of the 12 districts. When the hunger games start and the struggle to survive in it begins, it becomes a very good read, I couldn’t stop reading.
To Amir S. I agree with you, in this book there are both external and internal conflicts, and I think both types are going to be crucial to the outcome of the Hunger Games. But I noticed you said they only had 1 partner in the games, it is actually not true, they have no partner, but if they want to make alliances they can, even knowing it could be a trap or only temporary.
To Jonah Walker I agree with you, the fact that she has to fight all by herself, and cant trust anyone but herself in the hunger games is really exciting and the more I read the more I want to keep on reading.
Amir S. Mss. Holmes Hour 6 Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district 12 of Panem. Katniss actually after her father died, she was the only person in her home to bring food and stuff for her sister and mother. So one day her sister got chosen to go to the Hungry Games, but instead Katniss volunteer to go in her place. I think Katniss had a big situation for that she need to go for her sister and she might be killing or let her sister go and see her sister is dying because she is too young. So basically that means kill or be killed in that game. That is why, when her sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place.
Amir S. Holmes Hour 6th To Felipe M. I agree with you, because I liked the way you describe the conflicts in the story. I think you need to give the reader more definition for to make the reader understand what is going on in the story. But I like the way you talk about Katniss feeling and though in your comment, because you describe everything about Katniss point of view form the story.
To Jonah W. I agree with you, because she was lonely in her place and after while she though she need to take care of her sister. And the mood for the story is really exciting and keeps you to reading the book; however, when you read the new chapter you feel like you are there and you can feel the complete though and feeling that Katniss had in the story. Jonah you need to talk more about how Katniss feels and though.
To basheir, I agree with your comment about peeta LOVING katniss. It really informs me about how that affects the whole story and the feelings of everybody in it.
To Mario E. I disagree with your comment about basheir’s post about katniss not liking peeta. I feel katniss didn’t like peeta in the book because she was getting annoyed with everything he was saying about their love. This is why I disagree. Thank you.
the hunger games takes place in america and in the future and the country is slipt into 12 districts andthey havve a lottery with every districts kids names from 12 to 18 in it and who is called they compete in this game and its one girl and one guy for each district they kill eachother off until theirs ownly one left and thats who wins gets food and whatever they need for their districts and the other ones are left to starve and fight for their lives until the next game.
Katniss is 16 years old and she is a brave and noble girl who goes into the games for her younger sister.
Gale is 18 years old and hes friends with katniss and he looks after her sister while shes in the game and hopes that she wins.
peeta is the bread boy from the weathlier part of district 1 and he goes into the games with katniss.
the plot is with peeta and katniss and they are in the house where they get ready for the hunger games and they have a week and then peeta says his love about katniss when their getting interviewed and she dosen't know that he's kidding.Then the hunger games start and everybody still thinks that their madly in love but their just playing so that they can have alot more sponsors.
So the end of the book was really good and suspecifull.i wouldn't rewrite the book at all i like how the arthor wrote it.My thing about katniss and peeta is that i don't think peeta will forgive her for just using him during the game.Even though that's not what she was doing.But overall i thought the book was fantastic.

The Hunger Games portrays a vision of the future of North America, now the nation of Panem. In Panem, a powerful and technologically advanced city,The Capitol, rules mercilessly over 12 outlying districts, each named simply for their number. The beginning of the book takes place in District 12. Every year, The Capitol requires that each district select two teenagers by lottery, one boy and one girl, to represent the district at the annual Hunger Games, as “tributes”.As the teenagers get older, they have to put more tickets into the lottery. BUt, if you choose to put even more into the lottery to get a prize (I don't exactly remember what it was) they may. I think the setting will be important later in the novel, because i think that someone from District 12 will win the hunger games. I think The Hunger Games is a very good book so far. It got my attention very early in the book, which to me usually shows that it will get better as you get further into the story. I'm really enjoying the book, and can't wait to read more.

The setting in this book is a place called district 12 and its the last district out of the country of panem.
This setting is important because its the last district out of the 12 in panem. >.<
In the beginning Katniss is the main character of the book o far. She goes out hunting in the woods outside of district 12.
If she was caught she would severely punished and maybe death.
It was the day of the reaping where the capital picks one boy and one girl from each district and put them in the arena to watch them kill each other for a punishment to all of panem so they will be reminded not to attack the capital again.
Prim was chosen from district 12 and her older sister was katniss. Katniss didn’t that her sister would have been picked out of the hundreds of slips and she was picked.
Katniss volunteered for her sister for the hunger games.
This book gets more and more intense throughout the book. :)

This is a good book for people that like action and like adventure. This book is a good book to tell your friends. I like this book because of all action that is in the book.
The setting of this book takes place in District 12. District 12 is in Panem. District 12 is important because it is the last district in Panem.
In this book Katniss is going outside of District 12 beacuse she wants to hunt. When reaping came two poeple(boy and a girl) would be picked from each district. Prim was chosen form District 12 and her older sister was suprise because she had only put her name into the ballot one time. The older sister did not want her to be chosen so she vounteered herslef just so her little sister would not have to go. I think that was very brave of her. That is what i have read so far.
I have seen this book many times but never really had the chance to read it, well now im reading it and its a really good book.The setting for the story is a small place called District 12.They have Electric fences to suppostly are to keep deadly animals from Distric 12. Katniss Family they are really poor and dont really have alot of money. Katniss and Gale Are friends and hunter buddys. They set out to hunt animals to sell them to the "black market" to get money for there Family so they can eat. They also trade the things they have caught to trade them for a loaf of bread.Katniss has a sister called Prim names after the rose Primrose.Katniss dad died in a coal accident the mines exploded and he died. The setting really plays a HUGE part in the story. The setting gives the book life and intrest. So tecnicly speaking without a setting The book would be so boring no one would want to pick it up because there would be no intrest in the book.

The setting of the hunger games is what used to be the United States and the rest of North America. You don’t know what happened to it (at least not yet) but now it’s what they call Panem. Panem is divided into 13 districts. Each is called by their number but they have there own name they use inside the district. The district the book takes place in is district 12. I can’t remember the name they call it but, like most of the other districts, its poor. The setting is important because each district has two representatives (one boy and one girl) that are sent into the hunger games. These came up when the districts tried to rise up and take over but lost. So now the hunger games is used as a punishment to have everyone fight to the death and the last man or women standing wins. But anyway the setting is important because you know where Katniss, the main character, grew up and what district she came from when she entered the games. From what I’ve read I think this book is going to be really good. My whole family read it and talked about it for a long time. So far I think the book is pretty interesting because I figured it would be just one of those books where you find the plot and can predict everything but no so you can say I like the book so far.

So far this book has been a great book. It takes place in the country of panem which used to be the United States. Panem is divided into 13 districts but the story takes place in district 12. In district 12 a lot of people are treated horribly and the district basically starves to death. Most of the other districts are treated just as bad as district 12 and starve also. Panem seems like a violent country where people are pretty much slaves. If you talk bad on the district or country the punishment is death. Every year each district randomly picks two people to go to the annual ‘Hunger games.’ In the games teenagers fight to stay alive by killing each other. The winner gets a years supply of food and that’s it, nothing else. That shows how bad people are treated in the country of panem. So far I have only read three chapters and it seems to be a pretty good book.

The setting of the book is in District 12. It's after North America has been destroyed and the land has been divided up. The supplies are limited and many people starve to death. I think this setting is important because when they participate in the Hunger Games there surroundings are going to effect the play of the game. I like reading this book because I can tell that there is going to be alot of action. Also I thought it was super sweet that Katniss took her younger sister Prim spot. I also think that Gale is somehow going to be a main character. Maybe him and Katniss will fall in love? Hopefully Katniss will win the game and her family will be alright while she's gone. I feel bad for her family because of her dad dieing and her mom not being there for them. She basically had to be the parent for her sister. I can tell this book is going to be full of action and I'm not very far into it and I just want to read more.

Hey the setting for my novel is in district 12 I haven’t read that far in the book so I don’t know all the settings yet. I think the setting is important to this novel because it show you were they grow up and there harsh living conditions. The living conditions for katniss which is the main character are really bad she has to go hunting to get food for her family and her . she has put her name in the reaping far to many times to get food for her family. But I wont spoil what happens for the rest of you that are reading the book. I think the book so far is really good it has a lot of detail and is very descriptive. I also think the book is going to get a lot better as I continue to read . The more I read the better the book gets . I would recommend this book to a lot of high school kids.

The setting of The Hunger Games is a post-apocalyptic North America, known as Panem. When North America was first turned into Panem, it was divided into 13 districts, which one of them was destroyed in a rebellion. The main character, Katniss, lives in district 12, which is in the Appalachian mountain region. The setting of the book is important to the story because when the districts rebelled, the main leaders of the country retaliated by every year making two kids from each district compete in the hunger games. So far, I really enjoy this story. I think the plot is very interesting and exciting. Later in the story, I think it will get even better because Katniss is going to be competing in the hunger games. Right now it is getting a little boring waiting for her to get entered in the games and setting it up. But otherwise, this is a great book. Before this class I was actually planning on reading the book on my own, but never had the time, so I didn’t, which is why I’m glad I finally get the chance to.

I believe the setting in the Hunger Games is post-apocalyptic North America, which is now known as Panem. Panem is divided into 13 districts, one of which was destroyed. The main character, named Katniss, lives in district 12 (Which is located on the east coast of North America). District 12 is mostly filled with people who are coal miners, thus most citizens of district 12 are very poor. The setting of this book is important to the story because if the book took place in present day America, then the world would not be divided into districts nor would the country be overrun with poverty and homelessness. Also, something as cruel and unfair as the Hunger Games would ever take place anywhere in the world. In conclusion, this is a very enjoyable book. I have been looking forward to reading this book ever since I heard about it in 7th grade. Now that I am reading it finally, I actually look forward to coming to English class so that I can read this book.

The setting of this novel takes place in Post-apocalyptic North America. There are twelve different districts, which are like states in today’s America. The capital is in charge of everything just like todays. The characters are in one of the poorest districts District Twelve. They live in a small house and have to provide for a family by hunting. Hunting in the woods is prohibited and are punishable by death. The characters mainly go in the woods most of the day. They live near a coal mining industry that is the main income of the area. The setting of this novel is important because it shapes the characters personality and conditions of their health like starving and being weak. The hunger games is also the setting which is very cruel. Every year people are nominated to go and fight each other to the death, which the one of the main characters has to go to. I look forward to reading this book in English class because it is interesting and unusual

Hello, the novel I’m reading is called the hunger games. The setting of this book takes place in a run down city called district 12 inside of the used to be USA but is now called panem. the setting of the story is probably the most important part because it gives the story mood and describes how the characters act and behave. I think that the setting will have a big part in the story because the way the characters are acting now, they don’t like what’s going on and their going to change. Right now their all starving and just barely making their way by hunting, fishing, and trading on the black market. This is a big risk because just leaving the city is a huge crime. I think this is a very interesting book and im so exited to keep on reading to find out what will happen next in the hunger games.
Steven M. Holmes The setting in the book the hunger games is during the future, the country is Panem, Panem is located where the united states once was. Panem is made up of twelve different districts, each district is like a city. I predict that since this is set where the united states used to be then it will highly change the outcome of the book. I feel that the novel is good and that we should read the next 2 books in the series. The entire way that the setting is set that it feels really cool how its set in where the united states used to be. Since I have already read the book, I know its going to be good anyways. Panem used to have 13 districts until district 13 rebelled and was destroyed by the capitol. The main character lives in the seam of district 12. This is a good book.

Im am on chapter 2 and the story is set in the future. I think this setting is important because in this future the united states doesnt exist. Instead it is divided into 12 districs. I think so far this novel is good. It introdeuced the charectors very well and the setting is well set. The story so far is about a girl and her poor families struggle to survive in district 12. The main charector is a 14 year old girl and a skilled hunter. She livs with her mom and little sister. Their is a reaping day where 2 14 to 18 year olds from each district ( a boy and a girl) to fight to the death. On this years reaping day her little sister who just turned 12 is drafted. when she hears this she volinteers to take her place. That is as Far as I have read.

The setting of the novel takes place in a futuristic America which has been devastated. The country is called Panem. The first part of the story takes place in a part of the country called District 12. It is located in the Appalachian Mountains. Then it moves to place called the Capitol. It is in the Rockies. Most of the country is land that is covered with wild animals so it is forbidden to leave any of the different districts with out being on official business. I predict that the setting will be important to the story because the main character knows how to handle her self out side of the districts.

The setting of the novel The Hunger Games is based in the future United States in a poverty stricken area called District 12. The setting adds a bit of mystery as the main character Katniss breaks rules to help her family survive. The setting quickly changes and she's moved into a rich city where a "game" to the death is taken place on live television.
The setting contributes the novel as it shows what this poor girl (Katniss) has to go through to survive and help her family. This setting also draws the reader in and maybe even contributes to relating to the viewers due to the horrible economy of present day.
I personally enjoy this book to the fullest extent. This book balances the perfect amount of mystery, terror, and even some adventure that I always look for in a novel. I can also relate to this novel in some ways.

The setting of this novel is in a small town, also known as District 12 or like its citizens calls it, the Seam. The story takes place somewhere in the future, because they say that the place where they live is Panem and not North America. The town where they live is very poor, people die from starvation. Every year, they select two players for the Hunger Games from each District.
The setting is important because it tells us how people live in this place, their struggles and costumes. It is also important to know the setting so we can understand the way people act and how they will play the game.
I think this novel is fun to read, because we can predict that it will have great adventures. I think the game is an interesting idea, although I wouldn’t like it to be real.

The setting of this novel is in a small town; also Panem is the name of the country where Katniss lives with her family, a country that – after a series of vague disasters – rose from the ashes of North America. We learn the history of Panem, and the Hunger Games, and the thirteen districts in the first chapter from the mayor. So the setting might be important to this novel, because we could understand that the people are that much poor, to fight for what they need and also it would change everything. Like the country was they live in are a poor country with poor people, whom die from starvation every year. I think this story is good because I can feel how that teenager girl feel and her though.

I would say Katniss and Peeta are the 2 main characters of this novel. The author uses indirect characterization to describe katniss because every time something that can be received negatively, is received negatively. This tells me that she is either paranoid, which is understandable, or just all around aggressive. A direct characterization of katniss is when she is up in the tree wrapped in the belt and says she’s skinny. A direct characterization of Peeta is that he’s big, as in buff. When Peeta scored pretty high, this indirectly told me that he must have been keeping something up his sleeve because there is no way he would have got that by just throwing weights.

Katniss is the main character. She's strong and an awesome hunter. The author tells us all about how her and Gale used to hunt together in the woods which tells me that she is determined to get food to survive. Also the author tells us how Katniss took care of her family after their dad dies and she does everything she can to make sure her little sister Prim is ok because their lost all hope. That tells me that Katniss is a very loving person because even though her mother didn't care for her after the death of their father she still tries to make sure her mom is ok by making sure she eats when they have food. Also when she tries to figure out if Peeta is being nice to her or just trying to get in her head that tells me she's smart. And lastly Peeta is nice because Katniss remembers how one time he gave her bread even though he was beat because her dropped the bread.

This is probably the best story I have read. It’s so good. I think that Katnes is a very interesting character. She seems stuck up and really whiney. She complains all the time but she does have some good qualities. She can snare traps, hunt with a knife and a bow and aero, and she is really fast. She’s probably going to use the bow an aero allot in the hunger games. She doesn’t seem like a likeable person; besides Cinaa and Gale not many other people like her. She injured Peeta before the games started and she pretty much went off on Haymitch. I dont realy like her because of her flaus and disrespectfulness, but i do respecter because of her abilties to do good in the games.

The main characters in the hunger games are katniss, gale,and peeta. Katniss is the main character who is a 16 year old girl who volenteered to take her sisters place in the hunger games. she seems to be brave and no very emotional because she never cries or shows emotion when she is being shipped off to the capital knowing she might die. Gale is an 18 year old boy who is preety much Katniss's best friend. Gale and Katniss would always hunt together and provide each other with food. Peeta is the other person who has been chosen to go to the games. He has a lot of emotions and seems to be fine one moment and sad/mad the next. Peeta is a strong kid who is the same age as Katniss. Katniss seems to be emotionally stronger than Peeta because when they were being shipped off he was crying for a while and Katniss didn't show any sadness.

The main characters in The Hunger Games are Katniss and Peeta. Katniss is never completely described, as she is telling the story. However, you know that she is a smaller build because she always climbs up in trees and moves around with ease. Also, we know she is independent, and can get along on her own, because for the first half of the games, she is on her own and does fine. Peeta is described as a bulkier guy, as he is the son of the district baker. Right now the story shows him as being a bad guy, and a traitor, because he decides to travel with the career pack in the games.

The characters in The Hunger Games are characterized in many ways; directly and indirectly. The main, Katniss , is never clearly described because it is from her point of view. Most of her characterization is indirect. We know she is very independent because Katniss was forced to take care of her whole family at a young age when her father was killed. I think this independence will be invaluable during the Hunger Games. Another character is Peeta. Peeta is the other tribute from district twelve. He is directly characterized as big and strong. This will be helpful in the Hunger Games but I don’t think it will be enough to win. He also states that he loves Katniss which is direct characterization.

The hunger games takes place in a post apocalyptic nation called Panem, were north America used to be. The Nation is split into the “Capitol” and 13 lesser districts, in which the 13th district was destroyed in a rebellion. The story started focusing on district 12, which which is in the Appalachian region is an important part of the story, because it is where the main character, Katniss, lives and where the story unfolds. The setting gives you a picture of how life is in the post-apocalyptic city is. I think the novel is amazing. I usually hate reading and books, but I can’t seem to put this one down! It’s suspenseful, and full of twists. I predict that in the actual hunger games, Katniss will have to kill her fellow tribute, Peeta. Or maybe they’ll start another rebellion, in act of defying the corrupt government. Right now its kinda dull, but I know it will get better.

The story is very suspenseful . the two main characters in the story at the moment are, Rue and Katniss. Rue, is a 12 year old tribute from district 8. She is very agile, can swing around trees and is hard to catch. She is very shy and quiet. Katniss is very truthful, careful and suspecting. In the end, they trust each other enough to sleep in the same sleeping bag. They are both smart and can live off the land, which keeps both of them from starving in the hunger games.

There are a lot of characters in this book. Most of them are indirectly characterized but there is some direct characterization too. One Main character is Katniss. She is the most important character to the story. She is an adventuress, caring girl who is a skilled hunter. I know this because she cares for her mom and sister. When her sister got drafted to the hunger games, she volunteered to take her place. I know she is a skilled hunter because her friend gale says it in the story. She also kills a variety of animals in the story. Another main character is Peeta. He was also drafted into the hunger games. He is big, strong, and sweet. I know this because in the story katniss holds him because he is big and sturdy. I know he is sweet because katniss says it in the story. He also gives her a loaf of bread when she is starving. Gale is also a main character. He is katniss’ best friend. He is also a skilled hunter and is caring. I know this because he helps katniss hunt and says he will take care of katniss’ mom and sister when she is away.

Haymitch is rich and cocky but is a good leader and a very good hunter. peeta is just trying to get by and goes hunting and gathering with katniss and prim, but sometimes feels he has to prove himself to Haymitch because he has competition issues’.

Katniss has long brown hair and is very skinny due to being underfed. Katniss is a rebel and supports her family by illegally hunting and providing food to her family and selling off her hunts to others in her district who then trade money/ items for them.
Peeta is the 2nd main character and is the boy tribute for district 12. Peeta is a part of a family of bakers. He’s very well built and is the same age as katniss. Peeta excels in camouflage, Lifting.

The main character in The Hunger Games is Katniss a girl whose sister was pulled from the real world into The Hunger Games, but instead of her sister going into a world of life or death, Katniss takes her place. Directly, I think Katniss actions in the story are misleading to other characters in this story because when she is paired with someone who she might haft to kill just to stay alive, Katniss will get riley close to them making the other character who she is paired with not willing to kill her, but Katniss knows in the back of her mind that she will haft to kill them instead. Indirectly, I think Katniss sounds like a girl who at some times knows and doesn’t know what to do in a life or death situation. She can plan a death stealthy, but can she riley kill someone?

a internal conflict for this book is how peeta loves katniss but katniss thinks its fake and plays along with him cause the crowd thinks there star crossed lovers. Katniss plays along so that haymitch could send gifts to them during the games. Peeta believes they are in love. Katniss just wants to put on a show for the capital. This is an internal conflict cause katniss just plays along with it and doesn’t believe they are in love but peeta actually thinks they are. They were acting like they liked each other in the games. They had to find each other in the games cause there was a rule change I the hunger games.

I agree with Amir S. I can understand how Katniss would feel because we are about the exact same age. I can imagine how I would feel if I had to say goodbye to my family and possibly never see them again. And I can imagine how hard and confusing it would be if me and a boy were suppossed to act like friends but know we are going to have to kill each other. It must be awful for Katniss having to go throught all that by herself with no help from friends or family.

There are many internal conflicts in the Hunger Games. One of the most noticeable conflicts is the love affair between Katniss and Peeta. Peeta reveals early in the book that he likes Katniss. However Katniss doesn’t feel the same way. On the other hand, this is what the audience wants so if she goes along with it all there is a possibility they could both receive more presents from sponsors. I predict that Katniss will go along with this to get the sponsor prizes but actually end up liking Peeta. The mood of this seems to be a change from the action in the rest of the book. It feels soothing to know there is ther stuff happening

An external conflict in the story is Katniss trying to find water. She is in the middle of the hunger games far from anyone else and wondering around in some huge forest. She didn’t go to this area where people start off to get supplies, she was smart and went the other way so she wouldn’t be killed the only problem is she didn’t pick up any thing with water in it. She soon begins to feel dehydrated and sick she knows what the problem is but cant do anything about but to keep walking. When she just about gave up hope and was ready to die she feel down and felt mud with her fingertips and knew their was water and her external problem was solved.

One of the external conflicts in this story is katniss is picked to participate in the hungar which is a world wide battle that consists of two kids from all 12 districs these kids are called tributes. Katniss hunts for food for her family but she is scared about participating in the hungar games. An internal conflict the character faces is her family is really poor and they don’t have enough food soo katniss has to risk her life to go hunt food for her family .

Katniss, the main character, is struggling with poverty. Every day she goes to a forbidden forest and hunts animals, and collect fruits and vegetables. Her father died when she was only twelve years old, and since then she is taking care of her mother and her sister. But because she volunteered to go to the Hunger Games instead of her little sister, I believe all of her poverty will end. If she wins the Hunger Games, which I predict she will, she will be rich and won’t be struggling with money anymore. The tone that the author created I think is depressed in the begging of the book, because it talked about all of Katniss’ struggles and how the place she lives in is poor and everybody is struggling with starvation.

Katniss fights to make sure her family is safe and she does not trust anybody from the Capitol.

Katniss struggles with her emotions toward another male in the Hunger Games. She finds him attractive and caring and has developed strong feeling for him. She must be caution with her sensitivity toward him because she realizes he could be luring her into a trap. If she allows her emotion to get the best of her, one wrong turn and she is dead. I think her reaction to her inter conflict should be focused on what is in her best interest. Katniss should consider turning the table on him to protect herself at all cost. I believe this will be the outcome of Katniss' decision.
Internal conflict about this book is about Peeta loving Katniss.When Peeta declared his love to her she went ballistic but i knew she didnt mean to because she tought Peeta was just acting.As it got farther in the book Peeta and Katniss started getting closer together embracing each other and kissing.When the hunger games ended all that was just a kind of act so they would both be out alive. I think that Katniss and Peeta should be together. Katniss should Watch out tho just incase Peeta is trying to pull a trap on her.This is the best book i have read all year long and suggest reading the 2nd and 3rd book.

Katniss really is struggling againts her emotions with Peeta because Katniss wants to feel safe around Peeta but doesnt know if she should let her guard down.But i also have to disagree with Jonathan S.

Her father died when she was only twelve years old, and since she’s taking care of her mom and her sister.
I think the tone author created is kind of upset, but it is very interesting when you reading it.
@ FelipeM
Your external conflict for the character is really good, actually everyone can understand that how the character Katniss is, but also you need to give more details about her. I like that Felipe, but I am not sure what is going to end of the book. I hope she is the winner one in the hunger games.
@ Jagjot K.
Jagjot I like that you talk about Katniss and Peeta’s relationship, because it is important and basically no one’s did talk about that. And I agree about the mood with you, the author wants you to keep reading and get to that point, beside kind of the tone is sad. I think you need to talk more about Katniss and how she likes Peeta also. At all I like your comment Jagjot.

The Hunger Games is a suspense filled adventure, with twists to almost every page. If you enjoy reading books with death, love, and friendship, you will definitely enjoy this book. I haven't even finished the book, and already I love it. When Peeta tells that he is in love with Katniss, I was shocked. I thought that something might happen between them, but I never expected it to happen like that. My favorite part so far was when The Hunger Games actually started. Katniss had to fight a boy for a pack, and someone stabbed him in the back. When Katniss was running away, a girl threw a knife at her. Lucky for Katniss, she didn’t get stabbed, but instead got a free knife to use. I can’t wait to finish the book and find out who wins (even though it’s pretty obvious). I also can’t wait to read Catching Fire!

The book hunger games is a good book for people that like action drama and romance. I believe that this book is good because it has a good plot and setting and it gets very intense throughout the book. In this book katniss everdeen is the main character in this book. She lived in the seam where all the poor people lived and she went out into the woods to get food for her sister prim and for her mother. Every year there are the hunger games that the capital holds and one boy and one girl from each district is chosen to fight to the death. When they picked the girls name, prim katniss sister was chosen to be in the hunger games but katniss wouldn’t let that happen to her sister so she volunteered. During the games katniss was doing good and passed the first day and she didn’t want to let people know her defense yet which is a bow and arrow. The boy that was picked from her district was peeta. During the games there was a rule change that u can have two victors. The victors of the games were district 12. This book got me to read the second one.

I agree with u on this book cause I like all the action and drama and whatever this book gives you. My favorite part of this book is when peeta and katniss can be allies and that two victors can be chosen for the games.

I agree with you like I did to jagjot that this book does get intense and exciting. Katniss doesn’t like peeta so she can just play along with the romance thing for the capital and all of panem. Peeta thought that she liked him and he didn’t know that it was just for show.

I thought this book was so good. The action and how suspenseful it was is what kept me interested in reading it the whole time. I just finished the book and now I just want to read the second book to figure out what happens. My favorite part was when Katniss had to act romantic toward Peeta to stay alive. She said that she didn’t want to think about her real feelings for Peeta until after the Hunger Games but even after they won she didn’t want to talk about it. I can’t decide if I want her to end up with Peeta or Gale. I don’t think we know enough about Gale to know who would be right for her. The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was how they had to kill people. There was a bit too much detail about how exactly they would hunt and kill humans and it kind of freaks me out. Another one of my favorite parts is in the very beginning when Katniss takes Prim’s part in the Hunger Games. It showed me how much Katniss loves her little sister and that kind of stuff makes me happy. I didn’t like how the book just ended. I got to the end and was confused but still I think this book amazing. I would recommend this book to everyone. If you like a book with action, love, and/or suspense then this book is totally for you.

I really enjoyed this book. It is by far the best book I’ve read in a long time. I’m usually not a big reader, but I loved this book enough to read the second one in the series, Catching fire, which I also highly recommend. This book is full of intense twists and turns making me look forward to the hour of reading I got to do most days. I like how Katniss cares and puts on a false love for Peeta just to keep the both of them alive. The author did a great job of describing every scene so that I could picture I was there. I really don’t have any complaints of the book. It is perfectly paced always keeps me interested. I highly recommend this book to anyone, even if they aren’t really in to reading. So far the second one is just as good and I can’t wait for the third.

ReplyDeleteKatniss Everdeen is a teenage girl who lives in District 12, an impoverished coal-mining region in the country of Panem. She's a volunteer tribute in Panem's annual Hunger Games, having taken the place of her younger sister in an act of heroic self-sacrifice.
Peeta Mellark is selected as the tribute for District 12, all we really know about him is that he's a baker's son, a little bit emotional and that Katniss really wishes he hadn't been the one chosen as her co-tribute. Over the course of the novel, though, we learn that he played a large part in helping Katniss's family survive after her father's death. For this, Katniss feels deeply indebted to him. Peeta is also totally and completely in love with Katniss Everdeen.
Gale is Katniss's hunting partner and closest friend from District 12. As Katniss tells us, he's "good-looking, he's strong enough to handle the work in the mines, and he can hunt”. The two characters have a good deal in common, from their backgrounds, to their family situations, to their shared harsh opinions on Panem's government. There's also some romantic tension simmering beneath the surface, but for now it has yet to come to a full boil.
Prim is Katniss's twelve-year-old sister, of whom she is fiercely protective. As Katniss says, "I protect Prim in every way I can, but I'm powerless against the reaping". This turns out to be not entirely true. Prim was originally chosen as District 12's tribute during the annual reapings, but Katniss made the ultimate sacrifice for her family and volunteered to take her sister's place.
Katniss's Mom is a skilled healer, though she suffered from severe depression after Katniss's father died. For this, Katniss greatly resents her. Katniss's mother is not the survivor that her daughter is. We also learn that Katniss's mother gave up a life with her well-off parents to marry Katniss's father, a poor coal miner. Peeta's father was also in love with Katniss's mother

I completely finished the book and wow I loved it. The book had so many unexpected turns and the way it turned out I was not expecting at all. This was such a good book I really don’t know what was and wasn’t my favorite part. I would say my least favorite would be the situation with Rue being killed by the boy from district 1 (hopefully I didn’t give anything away) because that was something I wasn’t expecting and I thought rue would last a little longer throughout the book. But once again that’s what made the book good. You weren’t expecting it. If I had to recommend this book to a certain person I would honestly recommend it to everyone. I’m not a big fan of reading at all but this book is an exception. I would say read this book because right from the beginning it’s interesting and hooks you in.

Mario E I disagree with you. I think Katniss didn’t really like Peeta in the beginning but now I think she is in love with him. Even though it just seems like she’s only acting that way to stay alive but I really think deep down she really does care for him a lot. She just is having a hard time with it because she isn’t sure about Gale. I think once she talks to him then her feelings about Peeta will be clear.

I still have not finished this book yet but it is by far one of the best books I’ve read. It has action, adventure, and suspense. You never really know what is going to happen next or who is going to die. This book in the beginning is kind of boring by as you get further into it it gets a lot better. The beginning is basically Katniss telling you about her life and how she hunts with her friend Gale. As you get further into the book more action and adventure comes in and then when the hunger games begin the book gets more suspenseful. Hopefully when I have free time in class I will be able to finish this book and find out what happens in the end and if Katniss lives to win the games or dies. This is a great book and if you like books with a lot of action this is a good book to read.

“The Hunger Games” is more than just an action novel waiting to be turned into a PG-13 movie. There are a bunch of big ideas driving the book, from the injustice of a few people living in comfort while the rest of the world goes hungry to the priority placed on entertainment in a society where many do without necessities.

I think with Katniss struggling with poverty will help her in the hunger games. She will be used to being hungry when the other tributes like the careers won’t be used to it.

I think the thing with peeta “loving” Katniss is actually real. In the games he saves her life from Cato killing her and basically takes a beating to save her.

I really liked the book The Hunger Games. It was interesting all the way through till the end. And when the end hit it just stopped. Most people I think would be mad at how it ended but I was happy it ended that way because it made me want to read the other book. The whole idea of the book is amazing, how it has Katniss and Petaa who go to the Hunger Games and end up joining together to help one another win. This book did have a lot of flaws, like when Petaa stayed by himself for around two days before Katniss found him he would not have lived because his wound was way too bad. The most exciting part of the book I think was rite as the Hunger Games start. As soon as it did about five people died. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.

My final thoughts about The Hunger Games are that it was excellent. It was one of the best books I have read. I really want to continue reading the series in hopes that it will be just as good as the first one. The next book is Catching Fire, which also includes Katniss and Peeta as the main characters. However, now that the games are over I have no clue what this one will be about. All I can do is guess until I start reading, which will hopefully be soon. My favorite thing about the book was about how intense and suspenseful it was while Katniss was in the games. It always kept me reading on and not wanting to put it down. While I was reading, I actually enjoyed coming to English class and reading the whole time. In conclusion, this book was fantastic, and I recommend that everyone should read it.

The Hunger Games is one of my favorite books I have ever read before. One of my favorite parts in this book was when Katniss dropped the tracker jacker nest on the career tributes. I thought this was a very smart and cunning plan to escape the careers and possibly kill a few in the process I used to read a lot in elementary school but I kind of stopped reading, unless I had to, in middle school. Now after reading this book, I want to continue reading the rest of the series. This book had so much suspense and kept me reading till the bell rang. For the first time I actually looked forward to coming to English class. I am really looking forward to the next book, Catching Fire. However, now that the games are over I have no idea what the next books could possibly be about. In conclusion, I think everyone should read this book.

The hungar games is a great book . I like the book for many reasons. First I liked the book because it was very intense. The book had a lot of fighting and it wasn’t hard to follow. I think if more people were to read this book they would like it because there is a lot of fighting and it has a lot of detail. I would recommend this book to a lot of high school kids because I think they would enjoy this book , I know I did. Basicly this book takes place in north America after a the world was destroyed with wars the main character is a girl named prime. She and her friend go hunting for her family to survive. There is this drawing to see who goes to the hungar games and primes little sister gets chosen but she takes her place because she doesn’t want her to get hurt. Over all I liked this book.

There are so many twists that keep you wondering and wanting to read on. I am going to read the next two books to see what will happen.

I feel that hunger games was a fairly good book after all, when I first started reading it I had thought that it was going to suck but once I got to the part where they were in the games it started to get interesting. If you like action or fiction books I would recommend this for you. What I have to say about the book is that it is VERY boring in the beginning. But if you stick through the beginning and get to the part where there in the games themselves then you will get hooked very soon after that. I really liked the hunger games because it combined fiction with action. Another thing about the hunger games is that it has a genre that I particularly dislike, romance. I would personally recommend this book for both girls and boys who like action, fiction, and romance.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The beginning of the book is a little slow, but as the hunger games starts and all the action begin, the book becomes really interesting. Unfortunately I could not finish the whole book, but with the amount I read about it I could see it was a really good book. In this book, kids are chosen to fight in the Hunger Games, and the selection is random according to each of the 12 districts. When the hunger games start and the struggle to survive in it begins, it becomes a very good read, I couldn’t stop reading.

I agree with you, in this book there are both external and internal conflicts, and I think both types are going to be crucial to the outcome of the Hunger Games.
