So far, the theme of The Hunger Games is to be there for others. Katniss and Peeta are there for each other even up until the Hunger Games start. The Hunger Games have just begun and they are already telling each other to be careful. Before the Hungers Games started they told each other they wouldnt be the first to kill each other. So therefore, the theme of this story is to always be there for others.

Katniss and Peeta just got done with their interviews. They both did great! Katniss got the audience and sponsers to love her. During Peetas interview, he announced that he was in love with Katniss. Peeta claims he only announced this because he wanted to make the Hunger Games more interesting but what I think is that he really does love Katniss. Katniss got very angry at Peeta for saying that he loves her because she knows she doesnt love him back and she doesnt want to hurt his feelings. Now the Hunger Games is about to begin and the tributes are getting ready to fight. The Hunger Games will begin early tomorrow morning.

The character I choose to explain characterization with is Katniss Everdeen. Katniss is a very nice and kind girl that loves her family. She would do anything for her family for example when Primrose, her little sister, was chosen to fight in the Hunger Games Katniss volunteered so that Prim wouldn't have to fight. Katniss is also very loving to her family. She brings them food, water, and everything else they need to stay alive in their district. Katniss is a very great person.

The Hunger Games is so far a great book! As of right now, the 24 tributes are getting ready to go on a talk show. They are all going to talk about themselves, the games, and their lifestyles back home. Katniss and Peeta are working with some people to get ready for the interview. They are being trained to bring out their true selves and the truth about themselves. They are also going to work on their posture and the best ways to connect with the audience. Katniss is very nervous for the interview. Peeta is getting very excited and he cant wait for the interveiw. Hopefully the interveiws go well!

The conflict in the book The Hunger Games is that 24 tributes, 12 girls 12 boys, are fighting to the death. The goal is to win the hunger games by killing the other tributes and the last one alive is the winner of the hunger games. Most of the tributes are not as well trained as some of the other tributes so this could get interesting. Right now, Katniss is hoping to win the hunger games. She feels trained and ready but also very nervous. She just can't wait for it all to be over and hopefully become the winner.

I am now on chapter 8 of The Hunger Games. This book just keeps getting better and better. As of right now, Katniss and Peeta are getting used to having all the great food and enjoying, what they think, their last couple of days of being alive. They are eating lots of food and enjoying having a nice, comfy bed to sleep in. Katniss and Peeta are also getting ready to meet and train with the other 22 people that will also being fighting against each other during the hunger games. All 24 tributes will train together and work hard to win the hunger games.

Right now I am reading The Hunger Games. This book is really great! What has happened so far is that Katniss Everdeen was picked at the reaping to go to the hunger games, along with Peeta Mellark.  Right now Katniss and Peeta are getting all cleaned and ready for the hunger games that will be happening very soon. They are training and working hard so that they are ready to fight during the hunger games. I can't wait to see what happens next.

The book I will be reading is called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I decided to read this book because i heard from many people that it was a great book. I am about two chapters into the book. What has happened during the first two chapters is that the reaping is about to begin. The reaping is when one boy and one girl, from district 12, are picked to fight against 11 other girls and 11 other guys from the ages 12-18 to the death. This  book so far is great! I predict that the character telling the story, Katniss Everdeen, will be picked for the reaping. What I don't understand is why someone would create The Hunger Games. Why would someone want to watch 24 kids fight to the death? The setting of this book is in the future so hopefully this will never happen. I personally don't have any connections with this book so far but maybe later in the book I might find some type of connection.
