Hunger Games

For the first blog I would like to talk about the Hunger Games and what I thought about the book, what I thought was interesting and the book in general. First off I actually really enjoyed the book. I did not want to watch the movie nor read the book when it first came out because I thought it was going to be some stupid crap that everyone was so obsessed about and I did not want to be one of those people. Well know that I read it I want to read the next two right now! I am not sure if I want to watch the movie or not yet until they all come out so then I do not have to be waiting in anticipation to see them all right away.

Even though I had to read this book for class I still really enjoyed it, I thought a lot about this book was interesting for instance how "masculine" Katniss was which to some extent irritated me a little bit because I feel as though the author was making a big deal about her and her appearance when in all reality there are a lot of women in the world like Katniss she is not the first to know how to hunt or that is tough. I did like how Peeta was more the "feminine" kind and how he is the "bread maker" even though it seemed to do him some good knowing the different types of bread. Another thing I thought was interesting is how Rue and Katniss got along and teamed up with one another, I mean sure Rue probably reminded Katniss some what of Prim, but I also think Katniss was happy to have someone on her side and also to have someone to be with and to talk too. Katniss did not have a single friend not even Peeta because she did not consider him a friend for most of the book. 

Now for the book in general. Over all I really liked this book and I cannot wait to read the next two. Though I was very disappointed that I do not know what is going to happen with Peeta and Katniss I am kind of hoping she ends up in a relationship with Gale. As I am saying this I feel so bad for either one of them who ever she ends up being with is going to be a good choice but both Peeta and Gale seem like really nice guys and I do not even know if I could choose who to be with, Katniss has a lot of thinking to do regarding that situation. Most of me did not like Katniss at all, I did not like how she would put on a show for the game makers. She clammed she did not care what they thought of her, but as soon as she was in their presence she put on many different acts. I guess if being put in her situation though you never know what your going to do till you do it.
