Hunger Games Quote Essay

The Hunger Games is a great book with many emotions and lots of action. On page 21 it says “One time, when I was in a blind in a tree, waiting motionless for game to wander by, I dozed off and fell ten feet to the ground, landing on my back. It was as if the impact had knocked every wisp of air from my lungs, and I lay there struggling to inhale, to exhale, to do anything”. I like this passage because it is a flash back. The chance of her sister being drawn in the reaping is only a fraction of a percent and even though it was obvious she would be a part of the Hunger Games, I did not guess that this is how Katniss would end up in them. Another part I liked is when she has private sessions with the Game Makers. I like this part because it is one of the few funny parts in this book. I think this book was intended to be a serious book. If I were in her place I would not have been courageous enough to mess with the people who were planning my death. The years of illegal hunting have made her good at shooting and her shooting the arrow at the apple in the roast pig’s mouth shows this. It also shows how impatient she can be with other people even though when she hunts she can be very patient. The third part I liked about this book is that Katniss makes friends that are not from district 12. Rue, I think is the best ally she could have. She may not be a Career but she still is fast and she accepts that at some point one of them will have to die. An example of this is on page 213 when Katniss goes to destroy the Career’s supplies. Rue gives her a hug as if Katniss was someone she had known for a long time. Katniss hesitates before returning the hug because she does not want to get too attached to her since this will make it harder for her to let her go if she dies. One more part I liked is that the book has extremely exciting parts and some really sad parts about it.
