Oh how I
love this series. The reading and the book itself amazes me. Not only in the
way its written, but the way its formed to the readers mind as well. Suzanne
Collins “The Hunger Game” series has a phenomenal way to grasp the reader’s
attention and by putting it into first person, you’re able to see and feel what
the character is at the same time. Katniss Everdeen is the winner the 74th
annual Hunger Games, an event held every year by the capital and all of the
districts. It is a reminder of how the capital is in charge of all the
districts and to make sure no rebellions can take place among the districts. Usually,
2 people, one male and one female, are chosen out of every district to fight to
the death in the areas. Katniss wanted to survive in this fight for her life,
but not alone at least. She made this fake relationship with Peeta so she would
have this one slim chance of winning the games without killing anyone herself. Oddly
enough, the plan had succeeded and now she and Peeta are the winners of the
Hunger Games. But at what cost? Now Katniss is in this unfortunate love
triangle with Gale, her best friend she has known for years, and Peeta, her
fake star crossed lover. What shall she do? We will never find out! Tune in
next week for the next episode of a Classic Teen Novel!
Ok so
the last part was me trolling cause of the fact that the whole lovers theme is
in every YA Novel I have read so far. It’s not a necessarily bad thing, but
come on make the girl not fall in love. Let her show that she is independent
and don’t need no man in her life!! WOMEN POWER!!!
Ok sorry
off track. Other than that, I love the beginning of this novel. The first 75
pages are not only a back story, but a tease of what will happen next. No
wonder I’ve read this series twice already and I still am amazed on the way it’s
written. Even the part where president snow comes in and scares her in her own
house really gets me going. He is the ultimate badass, demanding and receiving
what he wants. Now Katniss need to keep this fake relationship with Peeta and
lose her feelings for Gale, since he is her “Cousin” now. I’m sorry but
really??? Now there cousins cause some guy had the bright idea of saying “They
are too close. Make them family Members!”
Ugh if you want to make it useful, take him out completely. Anyways, the book
so far is excellent and I don’t mind reading it once again.

I'm glad we both did something similar in our first 75 pages response, in the way we both talked about what the general idea of the story is so we have some context to expand upon. I wouldn't conceder your opening off track,but just a long introduction. But just me mine was much longer, those more of track. Anyways you mentioned some of the conflict Gale and Peeta had. Maybe this is a nice window to expand upon there relationships. There is bound to be some conflict and i cant wait to see them fight to the death for their part of the triangle. I feel like this could be a good paper topic, talking about their relationship and how they deal with each other all though they might not like each other. Similar to like divorced couples that have to communicating because of a common goal of wanting their child to succeed.I also enjoyed how you questioned how Peeta even thought for a second that those to could be cousins. I'm not sure about you but i dont think i have ever been that close with a cousin before. Also i enjoyed your use of quotation marks when referring to what the author might have been thinking while writing that part of the book. But anyways that might be a little bit of stretch. I enjoyed your writing and how similar it was to mine :D.
