Only To Stop the Hunger

Author’s Note: This piece is about the theme of family found in the book Hunger Games.  Look for the girl that is fighting for her district, her family and her life.

Just see that girl, scared to death in the middle of a battle field running for her life;  alone in a dark forest where many crazed animals and humans that sneak up behind you. As in the book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, in the main character’s heart, she is thinking about back home, and her folks, and of how she volunteered for her sister and her mother. Readers will learn that anyone would do some amazingly dangerous things just for their family.

In the area that Katniss likes in at this moment is very poor; after her father passed away the Everdeen family started to lose a lot of their money, the family's' house just was becoming more run down. The house it is very calm with only her mother and her little sister Primrose. Katniss’s life is protecting and providing for her family,  sneaking out into the woods just for a kill to eat.

Getting ready to pick for the Hunger Games. First girl picked is Primrose Everdeen, the younger sister of the girl who was the first ever to volunteer, now Katniss is in the spotlight, that feels like a caged like an animal, scared as a deer in headlights, her heart racing like a horse, with no way of turning back, no way of walking out of this. As she is getting ready for the battle, the countdown begins, 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 they’re off. Everyone in this battle never knew which way to choose. Any direction you choose can just be a death sentence for you.

All this pain mad Katniss think that sticking up for your family shows her that doing anything for your family can make a big change in her life. As you see she is putting her life in risk to save her relatives from starvation. Everything had changed after the games had ended, most family’s were heartbroken but only two family’s remain pleased. These times are very heartbreaking however, all of these people tried to survive for their families health.
