Text to Self-Hunger Games

     Have you ever been scared to do something, I know I have. In the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, a boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts gets picked from a jar to compete in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a brutal, barbaric fight to the death. These tributes have to go through a series of conferences and talk shows to try to earn sponsors, by doing this they better their chances of survival in the Games. The main characters are Katniss and Peeta two once average teens now having to fend for their own lives.
     Katniss doesn't remind me of anyone in particular, but when she steps up in place of her sister, I thought to myself would I do the same, the answer is yes. This character reminds me of me because I get scared in a lot of situations, for example before a huge wrestling match I sometimes get really nervous. Katniss going to the hunger games reminds me of a similar situation in mythology when Theseus was drafted to fight a Minotaur.
     While I was reading Hunger Games I began to think of what I would be thinking in this situation, I would be extremely scared and not able to think straight. I felt sad when I thought of how poor Katniss and her family was at the beginning of the story, because people really are poor like this in third world countries.
However I loved the way the author was able to demonstrate the love and connection between siblings. Over all so far I think this book is well written and well thought out i'm definitely excited to see how everything plays out.

    Good explanation, but try to pay attention to grammar and run-on sentences.

    This was a very well constructed blog and you did a good job at comparing it to yourself, but you did do text to text with the mythology.
