novel o choice

For my novel of choice I have decided to read the book the hunger games because the story of the novel series is in many aspects similar to the previous three novels we have read in class, and this is the only friggin book I found that qualifies as an assignment book that i think is going to be even in the slightest bit interesting. According to the summaries I’ve read the book is based in post apocalyptic America in a new nation called Panem. Panem is separated into the capital and 13 different districts, although district 13 has been completely obliterated in the capitals efforts to quell rebellion. As punishment for the rebellion the capital forces each district to send two children between the ages of 12 and 18 to the hunger games, which is a brutal and bloody fight to the death for the capitals entertainment and the torment of the families that sent “tributes” to the games. Two tributes from each district, one boy one girl, are sent to their publicized and brutalized demise as punishment and entertainment for the capital. The winner of the games goes home and for the next year their home district is showered with food and wealth from the capital while the other 11 districts are left to fend for themselves
