BEWARE: THE NEW HARRY POTTER
As of right now, The Hunger Games are my favorite trilogy of books. But in this review I am only writing about the first one. The Hunger Games takes place in a distopian future in the ruins of a place know as North America. The U.S. Is split up into 12 districts revolving around a capitol city which is located in the Rocky Mountains. Each district revolves on each other for the things they produce, such as, coal, lumber, agriculture, electronics. Each year, every district sends a boy and a girl to participate in The Hunger Games. The twenty four contestants, get dropped into a 100 acre arena and have a fight to the death. The winner is the one that is the last one living, and he or she (the winner) gets treated like royalty while the rest of the citizens are trying to not starve. It's very well written, and it make s you feel the emotions of the characters.
YOYOYO!
ReplyDeleteThis series looks really fun bro. I'm curious, is there much backstory given; does Collins explain why North America is in ruins? It's interesting that the different factions of people in North America fight over the little food that is available. Why do you think the people did not create a more cooperative agricultural lifestyle? I think that kind of social structure would have allowed for more food to available to more people.

The only backstory given is that in the dark days, the capitol "destrtoyed" District 13. They don't really fight over food, they just have to get their own. District 12, has "The Hob" which is an illegal market. think of it as a black market, but not for drugs, for food.
