Quote From Jay R. Chase from Houston, Texas................. on reading Hunger Games "I found the book to be well written with a fantastic pacing. Their is violence in there, but not so over the top as to be distracting. Intimate scenes are sparingly written so as not to be too embarassing (something I greatly appreciated as a dad!!) The rage against the system theme is prevalent enough to notice."

We as a group would like to read the book __The Hunger Games__ written by Suzanne Collins.

The book is set in a post apocalyptic place where kids ages 12 to 18 are to fight in a battle where only one comes out alive. The book is written in first person and viewed from the eyes of a 16 year old girl who lives in this world. While reading this book we can really relate to the main character because she too is a teenager. Being teenagers we will be able to understand what problems she goes through during this book. All the other kids in the book are aged also around our age making it very easy to relate to the character and try to understand decisions and things that they do in the book. When people connect with the characters in the book better they tend to like the book more because they know and understand what the characters are going through.

Another theme in the book is the competition. All of us being athletes will make us able to relate to the competitiveness that these kids are going through. Obviously the competition that these kids are going through is way more competitive and serious because their life depends on it, but we can still understand the desire to win and to put everything you have into something. Many people have never experienced a situation where they are competing for their life; this situation will also make the book more exciting and keep you thinking what is going to happen and decisions that they characters may make.

In this book it will show what people will do to live. The will to live is a nature of the mind that makes humans, human. This book will teach us a few things as well as have a couple of life lessons. Throughout the book it will show the teens survival in this world. It will also show us morals throughout the book. Moral question will arise like, is it wrong to kill someone even though you will die if you don't kill them. It will keep you thinking through the entire book whats right and what is wrong. Everyone has different morals, which means everyone has different opinions on the subject making it more open to discussions and asking questions.

(Counter Argument) After reading some of the reviews on __The Hunger Games__ some of them say that the book is brutal and putting people up to fight other people is morally wrong. That though is what makes the book interesting and exciting. It brings so many different factors into play like human morals, will to survive, and others. The plot of this book although some may find brutal, will keep us wanting to keep reading the book and try to figure out what will happen next in the story.
