The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games was a good adventurous and compelling book! It involved a lot of action and wildness! Young Katniss is sent from District 12 to the Hunger Games. Unfortunately it was by choice..because Katniss sister was suppose to be the tribute, and Katniss did not want that. Inside the games get rough. Katniss is faced with some pretty tough struggles. Katniss makes it through to the end only to be pulled up by the helicopter. Katnisss kills the wild dogs and then gets coped up from the Capital. The finally of the book ends with Katniss concludes from the Games and makes it alive (:

Protagonist Letter

Dear Anne from the novel: The Boxes

                I think that you shouldn’t have disobeyed your uncle in the first place. Because you had no reason to disobey him. You wouldn’t have gone through that whole fiasco. You were lucky the situation didn’t create a disaster. Next you should’ve stood up to your aunt in the first place and told her flat that you didn’t like the way she treated you. If she wouldn’t listen talk with your uncle about it on one of his visits. Now put in the position of opening the boxes and seeing what you saw you should’ve reported it to the police immediately. Like I said you were lucky no disaster was caused. Now when you were under crutchley’s hand you were right to run since you and Henry were afraid for your life. In conclusion I think in your life you did have a few slip up. Most of the time you made the right decision.

Yours truly,

Nancy Kington,
