"The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins is an adventurous and amazing book to read. It's about the ruins of North America which lies on Panem, the Capitol. Everyone is divided into twelve districts with very strict rules. The Capitol is very cruel and harsh to the people. They send one boy and one girl from each district between ages twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games on live. It is very torturous and depressing for participants to go through. People have to kill each other until only one person is alive. Overall, a major theme this book depicts is bravery. It is shown through out the book in many characters by their actions and thoughts. Without bravery no one would have survived the Hunger Games with audacity. The feeling of boldness takes over all the other emotions which was something many people had to do in this book. "The Hunger Games" also tells you a lot about love and attachment. It can teach you that giving up something for someone you love will always be worth it and that you will never regret it. Loving someone also means that you care for them and would do anything for their safety, which is something many characters do in this book even in the Games.
One example is that, during the reaping day sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen decides to volunteer for her sister Primrose in the Games. Although she shows her love and care for her sister she also shows her determination and bravery. The Games is a very scary place to be in and killing people also takes a lot of courage especially when you have to kill people with no experience. Knowing this, Katniss still let her bravery take over her fear and made a decision to be part of the Hunger Games. This can teach you that even if life gives you some obstacles to go through, putting an act of determination can always help you go through them. It would have been very hard for Katniss to see her young innocent sister in the Games and I understand that. Even so, through out the book she made it very clear that she would take her own life for her sister's. Furthermore, "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins is a book people can read and think about how brave they have been for their own family whenever they were in troubled times.
