Hunger+Games

The Hunger Games is about a girl named Katniss who lives in Panem (North America in the future). She lives there with her mother and her younger sister, Prim. She is forced to be the man of her family since her father dies in a mining explosion She hunts and gathers food for her family and goes hunting with her friend **Gale**. In the story the land is split up into 13 districts and Katniss lives in district 12. Every year there is an event called the Hunger Games where one boy and one girl are chosen from each district to fight in an arena to the death. Katniss' little sister is chosen as the girl for her tribe to go to the Hunger Games but Katniss takes her place in the Games to save her life. Katniss hunts for her family illegally in the woods for food. She and her 12-year old sister Prim are both elligible for the hunger games this year. Prim has her name entered only once, as she is twelve. Katniss has her name entered multiple times, because the more often your name is entered, you and your family get increased rations. Out of sheer "luck", Prim is chosen to represent the girls. Katniss quickly volunteers for her position, knowing it is a death sentence. The hunger games remind the people of the districts about a rebellion that was put down years ago. Her father died in a mining accident, which is why she must make up for her family as man of the house.
