The first character introduced is katniss. She is hunting in another distrct for her family. It is really hard for them to get for because her father died and her mother never got a job. Alot of people in her district starve to death. They trade alot. Katniss has a friend named Gale who is two years older than her. They both help each other out with the food situation. Katniss also has a younger sister named Prim. She is very small.
There is a thing called a reaping that happens every year. Kids ages twelve through eighteen are entered into a drawling. One boy and one girl is chosen every year to participate in the hunger games. This year Prims name is drawn. However katniss volunteers for her little sister. Now she is on her way to fight for her life while her family and the rest of the districts whatch as entertainment.
This book is very interesting and exciting. I can see why so many people have read it already in the class. I don't really understand the whole district thing. I kind of picture like fenced in yards the way the book describes it. Aparently they are suppose to be in north america...but after it was ruined by a war then rebuilt again. Anyway, this is a really cool story line and it makes me never want to put down the book!
