Many people \u00a0have already seen the number one movie in the world \u201cHunger Games.\u201d Hunger Games was a book that was made into a movie.<\/p>\n

A survey was done to see how many people in Wayland Middle school were planning on seeing the movie. It turns out that more than \u00be of the people were planning on seeing it and a lot of them had bought their tickets in advance. The movie broke the record for most online purchases before the opening weekend, surpassing the previous record holder\u00a0 Twilight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Many people found that the movie was very hard to understand, and follow if you had not read the book. They would say, \u201cI did not understand that her dad had died until someone told me, they did not make that clear enough.”<\/p>\n

Many people have heard about what I am about to talk about, The Hunger Games.<\/em> This thrilling series by Suzanne Collins is a read that many teens are reading.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard of this book, here is a short summary; Katniss Everdeen lives in the U.S.A after the capitol has taken over and, what we know today as the northeast, has been made into 12 different districts. District 12, where the Everdeen\u2019s live, is known for coal mining.<\/p>\n

Katniss\u2019 dad died in the mines and ever since, her mom hasn\u2019t been present in Katniss\u2019 life. Katniss, to keep her family alive, goes hunting every Sunday with her best friend Gale, out of district limits where trespassing is not allowed. Every year, as a reminder for what would happen if the districts stepped out of line again, a boy and a girl, tributes, from each district are sent, at random, to an arena to fight to the death until only one remains.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The picking of the tributes is called the reaping. The ages of tributes ranges between 12 and 18. On the day of the reaping Effie Trinket, the woman from the capitol sent to call the names of the tributes, announces Primrose Everdeen, Katniss\u2019 12 year old sister. Katniss volunteers to take her sister\u2019s place in the games. The boy tribute is a boy Katniss\u2019 age, Peeta Mellark. Peeta is a baker and Katniss often has memories of him throwing her the burnt bread when she didn\u2019t have enough food to feed her family.<\/p>\n

The rest of the book is full of excitement and action as Katniss and Peeta make their way through training and onto the games. Throughout the book, not only does action take place but romance too when Peeta announces his undying love for Katniss and everyone, especially Katniss, is shaken up.<\/p>\n
