Fight if you want to Live, Die if you want to Love
In the book The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen has been chosen to play in the 74th annual Hunger Games. One man or women comes out of the arena alive out of twenty-three other girls and boys all from different districts of Panem. She must fight her way out of the games in order to take care of her family and save innocent people from being murdered with no reason but the past.
Katniss Everdeen is at the day of the reaping in the town square. Effie Trinket, the leader of district twelve reaping, walks over to the large glass bowl that is filled with all of the girls names of district twelve between the ages of twelve and eighteen. She has pulled out a slip of paper, but it is not Katniss, it is her sister. Katniss is in disbelief and does not no what to do. She finds herself in front of her sister trying to volunteer as a tribute, to take her place in the Hunger Games. This leaves Peeta Mellark, the boy tribute, and Katniss to fight to the death with twenty-two other tributes.
While they are in the arena, Katniss has found Peeta disguising himself as a rock. She made a truce with Peeta with a knowing that they both may get out alive since there has been a rule change. The rule change states that there may be two winners if the winners are both from the same district. There is already six tributes left in the arena including Katniss and Peeta. If they want to get sponsors to help them stay alive they must play a love game that Peeta started when he said he loved Katniss. Peeta has gotten a sword cut from Cato, the favorite to win from district one, and Peeta must get medicine before he can start moving again. Fortunatly the medicine comes, but not how they want.
The gamemakers have set up a feast that all six tributes are invited to at the cornicopia. The only thing that district twelve needs is the medicine for Peeta. They need to get it before someone steals it. The girl from district five has come out sprinting for her sack. She is in and out of the cornicopia in a flash and Katniss takes off for the next bag, but she is stopped in her tracks. The girl from district one has tackled her and is threatening to kill her. She has taken to long because the well-built boy from district eleven has taken the girl off of Katniss and snapped her neck. There is five more tributes to go and one team. Katniss has been left behind from the boy and she takes her sack back to Peeta. Luckily the medicine is in the bag. Within about a day Peeta can move again. They are on a manhunt now, a manhunt that will be short.
Peeta and Katniss wake up not knowing that another tribute has died. Sadly it is not Cato but it is the boy from district eleven. Now there is four tributes left and about to be three. Peeta is looking for plants as food while Katniss works for food with her bow. The cannon fires with a loud boom. Katniss comes looking feverishly for Peeta thinking that he has died. They find each other and look around for anyone dead around the area. They find Foxface with nightlock berries in her hand. One more to go. Now is where they need to get to the center to avoid getting mauled by some type of animal that the gamemakers always make when the last couple tributes are alive to bring them together.
Later that day when Katniss and Peeta are waiting for Cato he comes running out of the forest in horror with dogs chasing him. They climb the building in the center of the cornicopia so that the dogs can not reach them. They try to fight each other up on the roof of the building when Cato gets hold of Peeta and puts him in a headlock. Katniss cocks back her final arrow and shoots it. It hits Cato in the hand and he falls back into the hungry dogs. Now they think they have won and the dogs go away. And the announcer comes on, he says there can only be one winner. Peeta insists that he should be killed right away but Katniss has other plans. She pulls out the nightlock that killed Foxface. She gives some to Peeta and they put it in their mouth. Then the announcer comes back on and he is furious. Katniss and Peeta have won together but the struggles they are about to face with the president and gamemakers they can not fix and will be hard to bounce back for the next year. If Katniss would not have found Peeta by that rock, I doubt either of them would be alive. When they played the love game to get sponsors, when they had to battle the mutts and Cato. If Peeta died there is no hope and still Senaca Crane, but most importantly a sister for Katniss.
