Reading The Hunger Games, we learn quickly that Katniss is a hunter and provider. Katniss and Gale, hunt outside District 12; which gives them the opportunity to provide for others. Hunting is an outlet for Katniss, as it gives her hope and safety during the Games (where there is a limit of food supply). The story describes to us, the reader, that hunting a human is more of a challenge than hunting an animal; Katniss struggles with this. As someone who does not hunt, I don't know how anyone could ever have to complete this challenging task.

When I first learned that we would be reading The Hunger Games, I was surprised that reading the book was apart of my college course. To my surprise, the book has hit on multiple similar points, we have talked about as apart of our class.
Now that I have read the book, I hope to read the other books in the series; as well as watch the movies.
I really enjoyed this book as well...this was my first time reading it and I couldn't put it down.I'm eager to read more in the series!
ReplyDeleteI thought that the most interesting part in the book was towards the end, how she feared her identity as a hunter and even as a human being would be gone if she were to win the games. She felt like she wouldn't have time for anything and become exactly like Haymitch in being an alcoholic. I laughed at that part but it still made since.
