During spring break, I continued to read “The Hunger Games” for my free reading. I am about half way through the book and I absolutely love it! On Easter, my sister and I were talking about our favorite parts of the book and comparing it to the movie. My parents had no clue what the series was about, so we began to explain. Right away my mom asked, “Why do y’all enjoyed reading a book and watching a movie about children killing each other?” My sister and I looked at each other. We weren’t really sure why the violence and deaths of “The Hunger Games” was so entertaining for us.
Usually, I cannot stand even hearing about violence. I don’t like watching any kind of gruesome movies, or reading, in detail, about a murder. Even though most of the stories are made up, it makes me sick to think about it. I guess since in “The Hunger Games” the government controls the people; it makes it less disturbing, because I know it wouldn’t happen today. But it is also based in the future, which means it actually could have a possibility of happening. Maybe it’s the love story hidden in the war throughout the story. The truth is, I am not exactly sure why I enjoy “The Hunger Games”. What do you think about it?
