In the first third of the book we were introduced by the character Katniss Everdeen. She is a teenager who hunts to put food on her families table. She lives with her mother and sister from district 12. Her father is dead. Her father was a really good hunter before he died and taught Katniss some tricks. Katniss hunts with another boy named Gale.
Every year there is an event called The Hunger Games. Where two “tributes” a girl and a boy are drafted to an arena where they fight until there is one person left and they are the winner. At the reaping Katniss’ little sister got drafted in. So she offered to take her place so she wouldn’t get killed. Also drafted from district 12 is Peeta Mellark. Peeta Mellark is the baker’s son who might like Katniss. After the reaping (the selection process.) Katniss and Peeta have to go away to the Capitol to prepare for the games.
During the opening ceremonies all of the “tributes” must show the judges their talent and get scored. Katniss showed the judges her archery skills and scored a high score of 11 out of 12. On the other hand her sister Peeta got a low score of 7. Now the games can begin.
