  1. 1) I think its either her having to be in the hunger games for her sister, or her playing with peetas mind throughout the games.
    2) I liked Rue, she seemed so cute and she was smart and its just sad that they would put a 12 year old in something like this.
    3) I actually loved the book, I think it was so good and I got really into it. the fist part was a little slow but after that it was really god and more stuff started to happen. It was one of those books that you couldn't put down because you wanted to find out what would happen next.
    4)The ending! I would want to find out what happens when they leave the hunger games and when they get home, and see if the romance continued with peeta or gale.
    5)I think the ending should of been them going home, and Gale didnt was happy for her and still was bestfriends with her but she continued the relationship with Peeta, And i would of liked to see Rue survive and maybe still keep in contact with Peeta and Katniss.
    6) I want to see the movie, I think it would be so good! I give it 4 stars!

  2. 1. I think the moral dilemma in the novel was the fact that Katniss had to be involved in the Hunger Games. This novel has a hero cycle which I learned about with Mr. Luthin.

    2.Hamitch because, he is always drunk and it funny as hell. :D

    3.I don't really enjoy books but this is one of the better books I have read. It is easy to follow and I like that its in the future but the different districts seem like they are in a completely different era.

    4.I don't think that I would change anything about the book.

    5.I haven't finished the book.

    6.I will watch the movie. I haven't finished the book yet but, I would rate it at a B-

  3. A. The moral dilemma, in my opinion, is the decision to either kill your fellow people, who are in so many ways like yourself, in a competition merely for survival, or to be killed ruthlessly.

    B Im not Sure if I had a favorite, but the baker seemed very noble, and big hearted. Maybe the most generous person in the story, so far.

    C Absolutely. It is sespencful and interesting, as well as emotionally involving. Its definitely not boring.

    D ...?

    E ( ) Ill get back to you when I get to the ending.

    F I would LOVE to see this as a movie. I personally didnt care for the way the story was writen, in the narator sense, but as a film i think it will/would be MUCH more involving and exciting.

  4. a) The moral dilemma of the novel was the actual Hunger Games. The fact that humanity in the future is so devolved that we put children in a fight to the death it just horrendous.
    b) I don't have a favorite character because all of them were very well done and had depth.
    c) I found the book to be very enjoyable. It was actually original which hard to do, because most everything has already been written.
    d) I wouldn't change anything in the story, because all of the events connected in the end, and made the story very well done.
    e) The only problem I had with the ending was that they didn't show them going to their parents and seeing them for the first time since the Games. Even in the second book, they skip it and fast forward to six months after they get home.
    f) I am DYING to see the movie! I like the actors they chose, and am really excited to see how they do the makeup for the Capitol people. I give this book a 5 out of 5!

  5. A) The moral dilmma expressed in the "Hunger Games" is survival and having heros that make a change in your life.

    B) The little girl (forgot her name). She was such a strong little girl whom dealt with a lot that she shouldn't of had to deal with for her age. She was kind hearted which I thought that was adorable.

    C) I'm not much of a reader, nor did I finish the book completely but what I read it was quit interesting and very emotional at times.

    D) Well first off, I don't have a license to shcgne anything, nor would I get one. Two I wouldn't change anything because it's not my writing and because the scenes fit perfectly together. The author of this book probably had it the way it is to there point across themselves the way that ment the most to them.

    E) Every book should have a happy ending I feel. The authors should always put every little detail as well as they can in dept so the reader can picture it as reading the story.

    F) Sure, I will if it's required. Overall rating I give is a B.
