New Book: The Hunger Games

      Currently I am reading the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In this book the main character Katniss Everdeen faces an extremely difficult conflict: risking her life or her sisters.
     This all began at Katniss's districts reaping. At the reaping a boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen as tribute in The Hunger Games, which are, (An arena is a large, enclosed, outdoor area where the Hunger Games are held each year. Arenas are designed by the Gamemakers and a new one is built every year. It could be a dense forest or a freezing wasteland. The Gamemakers plant traps and cunning ideas into the arena, to entertain the people of Panem. All arenas have a Cornucopia, where the tributes launch into the arena to begin the Games. Also all the arenas have force fields around the arenas that bounce back anything that hits it. Over the years a few tributes have used it as a weapon. The arenas were considered important historical landmarks, and were preserved after the conclusion of the Games. The arenas were also a popular tourist destination for many Capitol citizens, who would spend months' vacation visiting the arena from their favorite games, where they would be able to rewatch the Games, visit the sites of the deaths and even take part in reenactments. After the end of the war, all the arenas were destroyed, and memorials to the hundreds of teenagers killed within their confines were constructed in their place.) After her sister sister is chosen as tribute Katniss faces the decision of risking her life for her sisters. Faced with the decision, Katniss volunteers as tribute in place of her sister and is rushed off to the train to take her to the capital city, Panem.
