HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!

Hunger Games is set in a future age, after the destruction of North America, there are a nation called Panem. Panem is formed of a rich capitol, called Capitol City, and 12 poor distrects. As a punishment for a rebellion, every year a boy and a girl from 12 to 18 years are casually prelevated (in a harvest) and forced to participat at Hunger Games, amortal combat transmitted on television where the participants or tributs, must fight to the death, in an arena until just one survives. The protagonist of this story is Katniss Everdeen, a girl from district 12 who offers volunteers to save her sister Primrose. Other tribut (from distrect 12) is Peeta Mellark, a boy who saved the life at Katniss and her family offering a piece of bread. So Katniss and Peeta are conducted to Capitol City, where they meet the other tributs and do the interviews. During an interview, conducted by Caesar Flickerman, Peeta reveals his sentiment about Katniss , that is a way to have more sponsors (the sponsors are really importants because if the tributs haven't food or medicine, they can procure it). So the Hunger Games start, in the firts day there are 11 dead of 24 tributs, while Katniss shows her ability to hurt. In the days following there are more death of tributs but Katniss and Peeta are still alive. After a week there is a new rule who says that: two tributs of the same distrect can win, so Katniss starts to find Peeta and when she found him, he's wonded and she assisted him. Katniss acts like a lover and conquest the public. When the couple stay alone in the game, the strategists decided to change again the rule: there will be just one winner. But the couple try the suicide and hope thet strategitsts change their ideas and so it was. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are the winners of the 74° Hunger Games.
