Childhood Reading

As a kid, I did not really have a favorite book. When I got into the 10^th grade is when I found my favorite book and it was The Hunger Games. I did not want to read this book at all because I have never really wanted to read. When we started reading it, it started off great and it caught my attention. This book was extraordinary good. It was about this country, who was divided into districts. The main character was Katniss and Peta. They were both chosen to fight for their district in the Hunger Games. I say they were both chosen, but Katniss volunteered for her sister because she got chosen, and Katniss did not want her sister to go. Katniss goes into the Hunger Games only knowing how to shoot a bow, and Peta is going in only knowing how to camoflaudge himself, and he is very strong. They go into the games as partners, they work together to stay alive. They put on a show for the whole country acting like they are in love with each other, but Peta becomes emotionally attached to Katniss while she has a fling going on with a guy back in district 11. They start fighting and what not, and Katniss becomes friends with this very small black girl from another district. Fast forwarding, the small black girl gets killed and Katniss holds up 3 fingers for “peace” and it starts a lot of chaos. Later in the book, it comes down to Katniss and Peta to win. They both do not want to kill each other, so they both decide that they were going to commit suicide until they stop the game and say they both win. This started a whole new complication. This book really motivated me to read more books. It also told me to judge a book by its cover, even If I do not want to read it. This is my favorite book that I have ever read, from kindergarten through out my middle and high school stages of my life. I highly recommend this book.
