About The Author
The book that I am reading for the silent reading assignment is Catching Fire by: Suzzanne Collins. The author has made a large number of books usually related to adventure like the series of books The Hunger Games, and Catching Fire, also she made a series of books called Gregor The Overlander. She was born in the year 1964, and started her career at 1991 writing children's television shows.
Plot
My book is the sequel to The Hunger Games, and is about a girl named Katiniss Everdeen, she was the winner of The Hunger Games last year but you are only allowed one winner for The Hunger Games but she did not want Petta to die so they ate berries and pretended they were both dead. But all the districts still wanted a winner so they were both crowned the winners. But now the president has forced them to fall in love or look like it. She is forced back into The Hunger Games for the second year with Petta at her side. We will see what they get themselves into this year.
The Setting/Atmosphere
The setting of this book would be in the present or future because of they have all of the modern things like trains, and stores, and homes. The only thing that doesn't seem like it is because of they do not use guns, they use bow and arrows, and knifes it is tricky to find out what the time period is. They are living in these villages surrounded by fences, so no animal or beast will come in, and it is illegal to go out there. But some people still do it because of it is the only way to get meat. It is a very thrilling atmosphere from all of the adventures and situations they get into on the way of winning and fooling president Snow.
Traits of the Protagonist
Katniss Evergreen is the character that I have picked. She demonstrates both leadership, and intelligence. She is a leader because of she knows and tells everybody what to do perfectly and they have nothing to say back of how bad it is. She is very intelligent because of she can hide everything from the president and make it look like nothing is going on, also you need to be smart and a quick thinker to stay in The Hunger Games because you do not know what or who is out there and if anyone is planning on killing you out there.
Book Review
I would give this book a 5/5 because it is a perfect book, I do not read that many books and like them but this book would be one of my most favorite. It is both suspenseful, and adventurous, and I love adventure books. I would recommend this book to anyone that has read either The Lightning Thief because it has sort of the same adventure as it, or The Five Ancestors, because of the adventure and also it is the same because of they are hiding from the head chief and running all around the world following him but also hiding.
