Book review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games...... In the eyes of the people like Katniss are stupid, but not very many people are like Katniss. She has been doing what ever she could to survive all the rest of the days in District 12. While her and Gale, who is the only person she has ever been open too, hunt to keep their families alive, they also have to worry about who is going to get chosen to play. The chaos starts when Prim is picked. Now Katniss must do every thing in her power to make sure her sister doesnt go through the pain, even if that means Katniss herself takes her place. Not only that but Peete is picked for the boy champion. Peeta, the boy who years before burned a loaf of bread so that she could have it, Peeta, who has always been better feed because his father owns the bakery. She feels that she still owes Peeta.

Things get even more complicated when Peeta loves her. How is she suppost to kill him now. To add to that all the district think that she loves him as well. Is this Peeta plan to get to her so that when the time comes it will be easier for him to kill her. Then she meets a small girl that reminds her of Prim. Could she stand the thought of killing a little girl that is so much like her little sister, the only person in the world she nows for sure she loves.

She then finds out that she is consitered a ditzy little girl that must be watched carefully because of her score. She is dangerous because that is who she is. Her father taught her everything she knows before he died, and now she uses these skills to survive. Surviving the games is hard enough but what about love?

Henry vs. Forrest

Henry Fleming and Forrest Gump are two different people. One way is that Henry is scared of running away from the fight. Forrest Gump is not afraid to fight but he does run away but ends up coming back to save everybody he can so that he can get Bubba. Henry becomes a hero by carring the flag in the battle. Forrest is a hero because he saves everybody in his troop and only gets a single wound but doesnt care about it until he has his best friend. The stories might have to do with war but the characters are very different.
