The Hunger Games

Authors Note

 I wrote about this book in particular because everybody is reading it and a majority of people are liking it as well. Also I thought it would make into a fabulous essay 

The Hunger games is the most wonderful book I really have ever read its one of the first books that I actually got into and couldn’t put down. It’s the type of story that I paid attention to every detail it is the first book I really gained interest in. I could tell you every event that happened with great detail. The Hunger Games   was truly amazing!

Why did Suzanne Collins write about The Hunger Games?  I am pretty sure Suzanne Collins wrote this because she felt the need to express an important subject, the most important subject what the world is coming to what will happen if the government doesn’t change. Obviously she was trying to prevent this (I mean who wants to see kids fight to the death.) I think she made to some good points in the book using the main characters of the story Peeta Gale, and Katniss. I mean I don’t think our world would boil down to that in this lifetime because obviously none of this generation teenagers are getting in the arena anytime soon.

I cannot not really relate to The Hunger Games as it is a harsh topic that I have never experienced nor witnessed. I can compare it to wars and other things for example according to Wikipedia Suzanne Collins part of the novel was based on the invasion in Iraq which was from March 19^th to May 1^st in 2003. And as she was channel surfing she flipped to a reality game show and that’s when the idea came to her.

 I guess that’s mainly what I can compare it to I compare it to the war because that must have been where the idea of killing each other basically came from, and it is a similar thing except with adults, and there not really fighting to the death and where one person is standing they just fight until one team is defeated. I see what she got out of the game show as well I believe that’s where she got the competing against each other to win a prize or something in that aspect and which is also similar because they are fighting against each other but not exactly to the death because I think that would be a very risky game show. Both subjects tied together gives you The Hunger Games the only thing I don’t completely understand is why there were kids involved instead of adults? although i guess that would make the story more exciting for readers and it would be a totally different story is it were with adults. I also believed that she tied in the story that she had lost her father in the Vietnam War which is what happened to Katniss when she was 11 in the story.       

The Hunger Games made me jump page after page by the rapid twists and turns it made your heart race and made your heart stop by how exciting it was this is why I liked wait, not liked, loved The Hunger Games it was an amazing course of action throughout the whole story there was not one dull point for me I loved every minute of it and was pretty much heartbroken when it was over, thank goodness there is two more books to follow.
