    Society’s history is written by the actions of others. Those actions may not always be positive, and even worse, sometimes those actions did not happen the way it is remembered. Truth is a point of perspective. When it comes to government and those in power, truth can commonly be portrayed to favor a certain perspective. Suzanne Collins wrote the powerful best-seller, The Hunger Games, which has a great portrayal of how one group can be intentionally oblivious to the harm it is causing another group in the dystopian society of Panem. The Hunger Games can even bridge governmental relationships along with personal relationships when readers see protagonist Katniss staging a relationship with Peeta to appease the sponsors of the games.

    Everyone has heard the saying that winning is not everything. In Suzanne Collin’s bestseller, The Hunger Games, it redefines that saying. In the novel, North America has been through some apocalyptic disasters and is known as Panam with twelve districts that are ruled by the Capitol. Each year the Hunger Games are held as a reminder of the bleak past and that the Capitol is still in control of the citizens of Panam. One girl and one boy between the ages twelve and eighteen from each district are drafted to fight to death in the Hunger Games. The last one standing is the winner and will bring home the fame and fortune for their district. Each kid must attend “The Reaping”, which is the ceremony where the names are drawn for the person to be in the Hunger Games. Primrose Everdeen is only twelve years old and this is her first year attending “The Reaping”. Her sister, Katniss Everdeen, assures her that she’s not going to be picked because her name is only in the drawing once. Surprisingly, the odds were not in Primrose’s favor. Katniss cannot stand to see her little sister go and fend for herself in the Hunger Games, so she does the unthinkable and volunteers to take Primrose’s place as tribute, a person who competes in the Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark is the male tribute chosen to represent District 12 in the Hunger Games. Peeta has had an everlasting crush on Katniss since the day they met. Will Katniss have mutual feelings with Peeta during this crucial time of life or death or will the love be a distraction while it boils in the heart? Also, will the beloved characters perish or will they prevail in the Hunger Games? The Hunger Games is a compelling young adult novel that will surely appeal to many readers that admire action and adventure with a hint of romance.…
