The games have started, and many have died, but not Katniss Everdeen. She is barely surviving on roots, raw fish and water. Soon after becoming allies with a girl named Rue, a boy from district one comes and kills her. Now she is all alone again until she finds Peeta the boy tribute from her district, he is hurt, sick and hiding in a cave. She cleans up his wounds and finds a huge gash on his leg it hasn’t gotten any better for days. The Gamemakers are changing the rules to: if both tributes from one district are still alive at the end, they win. Of course Katniss wants to win with only five kids left. Will she win?
Katniss was horrified before the games had started and now she is a confident, brave girl who is willing to give everything to win. Including her hearing, she tried to steal food from the careers, and bombs went off which made her deaf in one ear. She realizes this is her life and she isn’t going to die in the arena. She is going to win.
The Hunger Games is a very unique book. There is no magic, vampires or Greek Gods. But this book has the amount of action as The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. They are book two exciting cliffhanger books. You never know what will happen next!
Katniss as come across some internal conflicts like: Will she die today? Is Peeta going to survive? Do they have enough food? Are her sister and mom okay? Can she win? She has little external conflict: Does Peeta really love her or is it an act? Should she play along with the lovebird story?
