Hunger Games

      I recently just finished the Hunger Games. I enjoyed this book very much, this is like the 3rd time that I'm re-reading it. The themes in this book really pop out, and are really clear. One of the main themes in this book is "power". If anyone read the book we know that the government (a.k.a "capitol") has power over everything, including who lives or dies. And for the government to have that much power and be able to decide who can keep their lives or not is really "wow factorish" (feel mee ?). lol anyways....
     Another theme in this book is strength and skills. One of the main characters in this book named Katniss was a hunter/gatherer and to be 13 and be able to do that is something to be proud of.  When she is put in the Hunger games; which is a "game" in an arena where you have to fight for food, shelter, and for life, strength and skills decide who wins the hunger games.
     Last theme that I think stands out is sacrifice. Katniss's little sister got chosen to be a part of the hunger games, but since she is small and weak katniss is sacrificing her own life and taking her sisters place, what a nice sister! lol. There are so many other themes in this book, but I kinda need to do my other hw, but i'll elaborate on this another day!
