First off, the novel takes place in Penem, a make-believe future where the Capital is surrounded by districts. The Districts are like slaves to the Capital, give away resources to the Capital and only keep some resources to themselves; so you can imagine that the districts are very poor. The Capital also forces the districts to give up one boy and girl to go to annual Hunger Games, so to prevent War. Katniss, the main character in the book, ends up being part of the hunger games alongside with Peeta. Katniss then has to fight for her life because there may only be one victor.

When Katniss little sister, Prim, is chosen to be the representative for District twelve, Katniss volunteers to take her place and fight along her male counterpart, Peeta. The reason I choose this book for my book report is because Katniss is not your typical 16 year old girl. Not only is she her family’s provider but she’s also skillful, strong, rebellious, and unsentimental heroine. These are characteristics that society would mostly link to a 16 year old boy rather than a girl.

Most people have heard of the Hunger Games, but don’t know the true meaning. People say it’s a book (or movie) about innocent people getting slaughtered. It may look like that but there is so much more depth. When authors write books, they add their perspective and beliefs. It could be about government, religion and many more controversial topics. In the Hunger Games, the author Suzanne Collins shows what she thinks about government. She does this by relating the Hunger Games to the gladiators and Ancient Roman times. Even the names of characters relate. Hunger Games may not be a sweet and innocent book, but there is a good lesson behind all the violence.

Based on the best-selling young-adult novel by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games tells the gloomy tale of a girl named Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence. In the movie, she volunteers to battle in a lethal tournament in which 24 tributes from ages 12 through 18 fight to their death for the amusement of the Capitol. In the future, North America, as a country, no longer exists. In its place has risen Panem, a nation divided into 12 districts. After randomly choosing a boy and a girl from each of the districts, a shady fixed government arena subjects them to a kill-or-be-killed hunt from which only one winner can arise. Every year, each district selects tributes to test their mental, physical, and emotional strength in a competition known as the Hunger Games. The Capitol’s purpose is to broadcast the tournament as entertainment and to reinforce the government's total power. When Katniss’s younger sister, Prim, is chosen as one of District 12's tribute, Katniss volunteers to take her spot. She trains under an always-inebriated former Hunger Games champion Haymitch Abernathy, played by Woody Harrelson, to hone her killer instincts. Now, in order to remain alive the tournament and be crowned the Hunger Games victor, this young warrior must put all of her ability to the ultimate test.

The Hunger Games is a series of adventure novels written by Suzanne Collins. The novels are the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. However, the movie of Mockingjay was split into two parts. In 2015, Mockingjay’s second part came out. As for me, I prefer to watch the first one.

Torture still happens in some societies around us. With different levels of torture, it is being passed on from generation to generation. It reflects a lot on the connection between people in the community and how a person’s personality is shaped. Between The Hunger Games, “The Lottery,” and “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” the three authors all want to argue about how society uses torture to rule the community.

The tradition of where they were born has formed their characteristics since they were raised along with it. Without understanding thoroughly about the tradition, they tend to keep passing on the tradition, which is why people in the community do not care about others nor bother to help them.

The history of Panem as we know it from Katniss’s view is a bleak one. The citizens of the twelve districts of Panem are being oppressed by the authoritarian Capitol because of the last uprising that occurred. Originally the nation of Panem consisted of a Capitol that was surrounded by thirteen districts. Then the “Dark Days” happened, which is when the districts began an uprising against the Capitol. Twelve of the districts were defeated, while the thirteenth one was obliterated. Due to this event, “The Treaty of Treason” was created which gave them new laws, as well as the Hunger Games to serve as a yearly reminder that the Dark Days should not be repeated.
