Hunger games..
If you heard this.. What is the first thing came to your minds?
Fighting..
Vampires?.. Carnivores?
Well, the fighting is right but Vampires and Carnivores are not..
The hunger games is about fighting for their lives..
Winning means fame and fortune
Losing means certain
death.. that is the main cue in the hunger games..
My friend,
Naomi, told me about this book. She is from America. Naomi and I are classmates until I think grade 3, then she migrated to America specifically California :D
She is really a book addict and she is the one who is telling me about some major bestselling books in her country.
One is the hunger games.
This is the book cover of Hunger games in most of the countries.
And this is the book cover in UK.
This is a short Introduction about Hunger Games..
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death in live TV.
16 years old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
The themes are suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance.
This one of the entries in a contest online and this represents Katniss as a girl on fire.. Which is named to her since her costume is on fire 'cause her district which is district 12 is known to be a mining or coal miners.
This is when Katniss and Gale hide at the back of the tree while seeing the red avox girl and her boyfriend being carried away.
Katniss in the arena.. The one who is controlling the game.. put out fire to add to the excitement of each chosen girl and boy from each districts.
This is when Katniss went to the arena to the forest. She is all alone competing with other tributes. She is wearing a pin that someone gave. That's why the cover of the Hunger games is a pin with an arrow and a mockingbird :]
This is Katniss Everdeen, While making a pose with bow and arrow which she is really good at :]
This is when Peeta and Katniss has a parade or something while going to the place near the arena. As you can see they are holding hands, in such that Peeta told Katniss not to let go, cause if she would, he would fall. They have an identical costume by the way(BTW)
This is the 2nd book of the Hunger games.. I will definitely buy this as soon as I'm done reading The Hunger games. I mean really hooked in this book...! Suzanne Collins is such a great author..
