What if you spent every day of your life

hungry?

What if you were forced to fight to the death with innocent

people that you don’t know?

Katniss Everdeen is forced to do this in…

The Hunger Games

By Suzanne Collins

Katniss Everdeen is a 16 year old girl

that lives in district 12 of Panem

With her twelve year old sister prim,

Her mother,

And her best friend Gale

Every year the capitol of

Panem has the hunger games

In the Hunger Games, 24 tributes ages 12-18 are out

into an arena to fight to the death

Katniss younger sister Prim was

chosen to compete

Katniss volunteers to

take her sisters spot

Peeta Mellark is chosen as the

tribute boy

Katniss and Peeta take a train to the capitol to prepare

for the hunger games

As soon as katniss and Peeta get to the capitol they have to

get ready for the tribute parade

Their stylist pick costumes that represent their

districts

The next day the tributes begin

training

After a few days of training each tribute performs their best skill and get a score

from 1-12

Peeta gets a score of 7, and Katniss gets a

score of 11

The next day they enter the hunger

games arena

Once they enter the arena, Katniss

runs into the forest as fast as she can

Katniss decides to spend the night in a

tree so other tributes wouldn’t be

able to see her as easily

In the morning Katniss wakes up to

a fire

She jumps out of the tree and tries to run

away

A branch falls and Katniss gets a

burn on her leg

Katniss finds a stream and decides to stop and try to

clean out her burn and get some water

Out of no where a group of

tributes appear and chase Katniss

into the woods

Katniss climbs a tree to stay

away from them

But they decide to wait to kill her

until she comes down

Katniss looks down and

notices Peeta with the other

tributes

She couldn’t believe that he

was trying to kill her

Peeta

Katniss looks up and sees a 12

year old tribute rue

She notices rue pointing up

She was pointing to a tracker jacker

nest

The next morning Katniss climbs up

and cuts down the nest and it falls on the other tributes

When the nest falls one of the tributes

dies

Katniss decides to team up with rue

Katniss and rue decide to blow up the other tributes

food

When Katniss blows up the food she

hears rue scream and she was caught

in a net

When she gets rue out of the net a tribute throws a

spear, Katniss kills him but…

It was to late

And rue dies

But Katniss has to move on

Later the game makers make an

announcement, there can now be 2 winners if they are from they

same district

Katniss rushes to find Peeta

When katniss finds him he's

hurt

The game makers make another

announcement, they have something that

peeta needs

Katniss goes to get what peeta needs

but when she goes, another tribute, clove, tries to kill

her

Then out of no where thresh,

another tribute, saves Katniss

The next day Katniss and Peeta go to find

food , when they come across

poisonous berries Katniss decides to

save them

Later that day there are dog like animals

released into the arena

Katniss and Peeta are chased back to the cornucopia where they find the last

tribute Cato

Katniss wants to shoot Cato but if she

shoots him, Peeta goes down with him

Peeta draws an X on Cato’s hand in

blood

And Katniss knows exactly what he wants her to do

She shoots his hand and when

he falls the animals kill him

Then there's an announcement, there can now

only be one winner of the hunger games

Katniss pulls out the poisonous berries

and tells Peeta to eat them on the count of

three

Once the berries enter their mouths they hear

a another announcement the capitol tells them to

stop

And they both win the hunger games!
