The Hunger Games

              The Everdeen girls are in a drawing called the reaping.The reaping is a drawing of one male and one female to participate in the Hunger Games, which is a "tournament" to the death. There are twelve different districts and each child from the ages twelve to eighteen are place into the drawing for the Hunger Games. Katniss is the main character in the story. She has her name put in the reaping bowl 20 times because of tesserae which is added reaping entries in exchange for grain and oil. Katniss' sister Prim has her name in only once. At the reaping Prim, who has a one and one thousand chance of being chosen, actually gets picked. Katniss as a protective sister volunteers for Prim. The male who was picked was Peeta Mallark. So Katniss and Peeta along with twenty other tributes will battle to the death at the Hunger Games.
               As Katniss and Peeta go on the train to Panem and once at Panem they get a treated like royalty. They have lavish meals along with flamboyant dresses. At the introduction of the tributes Katniss had a special dress that looked like it was on fire. After the introduction Katniss and Peeta have a few arguments. But they then get along better and treat each other with respect.  The tributes then go to an arena where they are taught different skills and also show there skills off. When Katniss was showing her skills off to the Gamemakers she felt they were not watching here so she shoots an arrow through an apple in a pig's mouth. This event showed that she was the real deal.
               So far this book is very action packed and I am looking forward to the climax of the fight at the Hunger Games.
