I had finished the hunger games and it was a good book.  Every time someone had died a cannon would go off. So far 29 shots had been fired and the president Mr. Snow has real dog like animals to kill all of them because Peeta and Katniss have teamed up and hid while the last man was hunting them. They make it back to the center of the arena and are hiding on top of the shelter where all the weapons came from in the beginning. As they are hiding there the other guy comes up and threatens to kill them. Katniss draws her bow and fires as the man is running at them full speed with a razor sharp sword. The arrow goes right through his heart and kills him instantly. Now they have to fight against each other but they didn’t. They said that no one should have a winner and that they will both kill each other so no one wins. Before they’re about to they stop them and say that they both won instead of just the one of them.

                To me the genre of the story is a science fiction with a little bit of action and adventure. It’s science fiction because it takes place in the future. The fashion is different and everything the upper-class owns is all futuristic, like hover cars and glowing clothes. They also have a battlefield dome that’s design for people to play by the rules of Mr. Snow. He can Control the weather and terrestria of the fields in which they lay in. People are also put into different districts to contain the people and give them a job to do. I also think its action and adventure because it’s an all out brawl between 32 people, 16 districts and a boy and girl from each district. They are running hiding and hunting with or for each other. That people are dying and running around in a new environment with other dangerous object like deadly bugs and flowers. The goal is to eliminate people from the world. What genre would you rank this book at?

                The most important character in the story is Katniss. She was also looked at by everyone as a threat but I couldn’t see why. Yea she was good with a bow but that was it. I had no idea how good of a survivor she was or she could kill anyone. That people from the upper classed looked up to her to but why? Why were the upper class looking at a lower class person as to if she was someone special .its confusing. Maybe she will have the reason in the second book Catching Fire which is the next book in the series. I will be doing a blog on that book next. I’m hoping it’s as good as this book.
