The hunger games

Yesterday I finished the hunger games. It's by Suzanne Collins. The hunger games is where 12 girls and 12 boys fight to death on live T.V. It's about a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers for her 12 year old sister Primrose Everdeen. There are 13 districts and district 13 got burned down and the capitol who owns all the district makes the districts to pick one girl and one boy between the ages of 12 and 18. I don't know all the kids but I'll tell you the ones I know. Rue and Thresh from district 11. Peeta and Katniss from district 12. Clove and Cato from district 2. Last but not least Glimmer fro m district 1. Peeta actually had a crush on Katniss since they were 5 when Peeta's dad said' see that little girl over there I wanted to marry her mother but she ran in a coal mine when I told her that". Heres the page copy.

She recognizes the bird too, some wild thing called a grossling in her district. She says some times a flock will wander in her orchid and get a decent lunch that day. For a while our conversation stop as we fill our stomach. The grossing has delicious meat that's so fatty, the grease drips down your face when you bite into it. Oh says Rue with a sigh. I've never had a whole leg to myself before. I'll bet she hasn't. I'll bet meat hardly ever comes her way. Take the other I say. Really? she asks. Take whatever you want. Now that I've got a bows and arrows, I can get more. Plus I've got snares. I can show you how to set them," I say. Rue looks uncertainly at the leg. Oh take it I say putting the drumstick in her hands. It will only keep a few days anyway, and we've got the whole bird plus the rabbit. Once she's got hold of it, Her appetite wins out and she takes a huge mouthful. I'd have thought in district 11 have a bit more to eat then us. You know since you grow the food I say. Rue's eyes widen. Oh no were not allowed to eat the crops. They arrest you are something. They wip you and make everyone else watch says Rue. The mayors very strict about it. I can tell by her expression it's not that uncommon. A public whipping is very rare in district 12. Occasionally one occurs. Technically Gale and I could be wipped for daily poaching in the woods

  1. Well done on finishing the Hunger Games. I hope Dad reads it before the movie. I think that he would enjoy it. I am looking forward to the movie, only 23 more days left till we can go.

    I like your new background. it looks like the cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare

  2. I think it is the Cliffs of Moher or else Dún Aengus on Inis Mór.

    You see even in that story the poor birds are being killed. Not fair.

  3. the capitol doesn't even care about the tributes health so Kattniss has to kill birds to use as food.
