Post #1: The Hunger Games

I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This is the first book in the Hunger Games series. Katniss Everdeen is a strong, stubborn, and caring citizen of District 12 in the country of Panem. She lives with her sister Primrose and her mother. At age eleven, Katniss' father died. Since then, she has been the leader of her family, and has taken care of her sister and her mother. Now she has trouble awaiting her. Primrose was drawn to be tribute of the Hunger Games tradition. The Hunger Games is an event in which two tributes, a boy and a girl, are chosen to represent their district in a battle against each other in the Capitol of Panem. Only one tribute out of all twenty-four tributes survive this challenge to fight for their lives. Will Katniss volunteer as a tribute so her younger sister, Primrose does not have to risk her life?
