Lauren Lee- //The Hunger Games// The book starts out slow at first, telling about Katniss's life of having to grow up quickly and learn to protect and provide for her mother and younger sister in a society of poverty and hunger, because her father was killed in an explosion when she was 12. This devastated her mother to the point where she was on the edge of insanity, leaving her uncapable of taking care of the family. Things start to get intense, though, as Katniss's little sister, Prim, is drawn out to participate in the Hunger Games; games where there can only be one survivor. Katniss volunteer's to take Prim's place and just when things couldn't get worse; Peeta, the boy that saved her from giving up all hope and dying of starvation when her father died, was drawn out to attend the games with her. They go to The Capitol together, to train and prepare. The whole time Katniss had planned not to become attatched to Peeta, because she knew she would just end up killing him anyways, but their mentor Haymitch has an entirely different plan for them. He wants them to be close friends with each other. Soon Katniss starts to get attatched to Peeta, and the night before the games he confesses his undying love for her that he has had ever since they met. This causes all the people in The Capitol to become attatched to Peeta and Katniss, the "star crossed lovers". She doesn't know what to think, so she goes into the games baffled and confused trying to prolong or even avoid having to kill him, until she sees him allying himself with the "Careers", who are considered the "bad guys" in the games. She takes back ever caring about him and actually attempts to kill both him and the "Careers". He ends up saving her life after she tried killing him, which makes her once again question her feelings for him. Katniss realizes she must ally with someone, and so she makes an alliance with a 12 year old girl from another district, that reminds her of Prim. It is short lived because soon the little girl, Rue, is killed. Katniss, who ended up becoming attatched to her tries to give her a "proper" burial in a bed of flowers, which could have been interpreted as defiance towards The Capitol. The remaining contestants are then informed that there may actually be 2 winners from the same district. So Katniss searches out Peeta in the arena and finds him on death's door. She does everything in her power to save him, and even starts falling in love with him. She risks her life in order to save his, and when they think they have won The Capitol throws in another twist, they will no longer accept 2 winners of the games. So, they both willingly try to saccrafice their lives for each other when Katniss comes up with a brilliant idea, that may be her last chance to defy The Capitol... or end up saving both of their lives.
