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.
