Originally there were 13 districts, but they rebelled and District 13 was destroyed as a lesson to the other 12. Ever since her father died in a coal mine accident, her mother has been unable to provide for Katniss and her younger sister Prim so Katniss hunts animals in the nearby forest and sells them on the black market. Every year in Panem, there is this event called the Hunger Games where children between the ages of 11 and 18 compete in an arena to the death. Two girls and two boys are chosen from each district.

For the book group, I read The Hunger Games. Most everyone in this class has already read it, but I'll go over the plot anyway.

Nice with the small reference of Peeta. I think Peeta is very weak and cannot defend himself. Nice review! :P
ReplyDeleteGood job! This review gives more background context than other reviews; I like that. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis describes the book simply, and much better than my blog. It is interesting to see everyone else's review of the book compared to mine, because it shows how differently everyone takes the book. I agree with Willa, the small reference of Peeta fits how much I care about him.
