The Hunger Games Review, Sypnosis & Impressions by Bluedust

SYPNOSIS OF THE HUNGERGAMES

The Hunger Games is about Katniss Everdeen, a beautiful teenager that is skilled at archery and edible plants from District 12 in Panem. She is forced to hunt for her family, outside the district electric fence with her hunting partner Gale Hawthorne, after both her and Gale's dads died in a horrid coal mining incident. She lives with her mother and little sister, Primrose (nicknamed Prim). Prim has 2 pets, a cat named Buttercup and a goat named Lady.

Every year 1 female and 1 male tribe from each district (1-12) must fight to the death on national tv, with only 1 tribute surviving. On the day of the 74th Hunger Games reaping for District 12, Prim is chosen and Katniss hysterically volunteers to take her place. The other tribute chosen is Peeta Mellark, a boy that saved Katniss and her family's life. 

They meet a lot of new people including their district adviser, Effie Trinket, their only living district winner, Haymitch Albernathy and their stylists, Cinna and Octavia.

Once Katniss is placed into the arena, she is left to fend and kill for her own survival. Who will win the horrid 74th Hunger Games? Will Katniss be able to survive?

TOLD BY DIFFERENT TRIBUTE VIEWS by Tengaged magazine member

Emily- District 8

I stood on my platform anxiously as the announcer for the games, Paul Rugsby started his usual blabbing about the games. Once he had announced it was time for the games to begin, I tensed up and prepared myself to run for the backpack straight ahead of me. This stadium was very strange, because it was the only indoor stadium in history. The other tributes and I seemed to be standing in a huge ballroom of whatever kind of indoor stadium we're in. I knew it was almost time to run. When the gong went off, that's exactly what I did.

Jack- District 5

As soon as the gong sounds, I immediately flee from the Cornucopia. I don't want to be involved in the bloodbath. It's very strange being in an indoor stadium, and I'm being thrown for a loop. I spent nearly all of my time in training studying berries, snares, traps, and tons of other outdoor survival skills. Luck is already not on my side. Since there is so much time left in the games, who knows how bad this is going to get for me?

Trenton- District 3

I may not be a career, but that doesn't mean I didn't train like one. All my life, I have been preparing for this moment. I hear the gong sound and instantly run straight for the Cornucopia. I'm the first one there, thanks to my 14 years of track. I'm 17, and that's plenty of time to get to know everything about survival.

I instantly grab some arrows, and just start throwing them at people. I have enough brute force and accuracy to send 6 of them through other tribute's skulls. "That means there's only 18 more to go." I think to myself. This is going to be a cakewalk. I then grab a 3 whips, because whips are my best weapons, and grab my favorite one, which has solid gold on the tip. This will give the whip more of a sting to victims. Then I knock 4 tributes over and head to a door that has a spear stuck in it.

Once I'm in the hallway, I run until I come to some stairs and an elevator that has just closed. I know I'm right behind a victim, and so I sprint up the stairs without stopping for even a second to breathe, and pause on floor 3 because I hear a high pitched ding. I see someone emerge, and it's the boy from District 5.
