About The Hunger Games
风格服饰>九年级英语单词朗读 The Hunger Games is a book written by Suzanne Collins, one of the New York Times bestlling authors. I watched the movie first, and then I read the book. I have to say The H
unger Games is a book worth reading. I strongly recommend the book, becau it is an extraordinary one in its implied meanings, and also a good book for fun.
The event is t to be happened under this circumstance: “In penance of their uprising, each district shall offer up a male and female between the age of 12 and 18 at a public ‘reaping’. The tributes shall be delivered to the custody of the capital. And then transferred to a public arena where they will fight to death.” Henceforth and forever this pageant tribute parade shall be known as The Hunger Games.
At first, it shows the scene of Prim, the little sister of the heroine Katniss, horrified by the dream of been chon to be the tribute, which means death. After she woke up threatened by the nightmare, Katniss sang a beautiful song and let her younger sister fall into sleep again. She was living in a poor condition, in fact, almost all the villagers were. Luckily, she was a good shooter, she can exchange the animals for food, but not enough food to rai the whole family, after all, she was at a bad time. On the special day for choosing tributes, Prim was chon, and Katniss volunteered to be the female tribute inst
ead of her little sister. And the male tribute from her district is Peeta Mellark, the boy who once fed her when she fainted at the bakery yard. Then they were on their way to the parade.
The manager President Snow thought the hunger games was a way to heal wounds, it was a price people need to pay for the rebellion, and it would unite people together. But I don’t e it like that; maybe I’m just too stupid to e the meaning of the Game. He said “hope is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it’s contained.” His aim was to control people, from their action to mind. It’s cruel. He required his subordinates to do it, to give a little hope to the ordinary, and contain them. One of his subordinate was a mustache man, who liked Katniss, and helped her a lot during the hunger games when she was at the sideline between life and death. He changed the games rules veral times, from President Snow’s eyes, he betrayed his superior by helping Katniss survive, and at the end, Katniss survived with her partner Peeta, while the mustache man was forced to suicide by eating a dish of poisonous blue fruits. Here I want to say, at that time, a good man may not get r
eward all the time, instead, he will be regarded as a pest to the exits rules. It happened in the past, and sometimes it also happens even in the modern society. I wish it will not happen in the future.
Now I would like to talk about Peeta. He emed weaker than Katniss at the first sight, becau he looked so gentle, and harmless. He did not know how to shoot or kill somebody by sword or whatever. He was a nice guy who would have lived a happy life if he was in a more humanized world. But unfortunately, destiny cho him to be the male tribute of district 12. He ud to be a happy bakery, I mean that time he did not need to worry about surviving. After been told the cruelness of the hunger games, he wanted to survive after the ridiculous games. So he kept trying to find ways to succeed, during that period, he might had lost his nature, his personality by trying to figure out how to kill others and let himlf survive. But he was born to be a nice man, so he gave up harming people, instead he just concentrated on hiding himlf so no one can find him, leave alone harm him. That’s why he ran far away while others were busy at fighting with each other for supplies. But he did not have enough time to hide, so he was caught by a group
of men and women. He was threatened to tell them the location of Katniss, if he resists, they would kill him, but on the other hand, he loved Katniss, from the very first look at her in the school, it was Katniss who never noticed the boy and didn’t know that he is the one who saved her life when she was starving. Anyway, he would never betray her. So he showed them the wrong direction. Obviously, the group was not made of fools, he was taken with them. And Katniss was found; Peeta did all he can do for Kat, and been hurt by the group badly. He then decorated himlf as the appearance of moss. Kat knew and found him; they were into each other then, and joined together. Finally, they succeeded, but suddenly, the rule changed; only one of them was allowed to survive. Peeta wanted Kat to live, but Kat cho to die together. At the point of killing themlves, the mustache man changed the rule again, let them survive, him sacrifice for changing the rule and gave too much hope to people, which was not allowed by the President Snow.
I cannot tell whether the end is happy or sad, Kat and Peeta survived, but the mustache man died. The book makes me to think more than the plot. We will think about the system of that society and of the society we live in now. You will like the book once you read it. A
nd it will make you think things in a deep way.
