Suzanne Collins Said: "One night, I was lying in bed, and I was channel surfing between reality TV programs and actual war coverage. On one channel, there’s a group of young people competing for I don’t even know; and on the next, there’s a group of young people fighting in an actual war. I was really tired, and the lines between these stories started to blur in a very unsettling way. That’s the moment when Katniss’s story came to me."

 * What We Learn From //The Hunger Games// The Hunger Game it’s a very good novel. In this book there is man vs. society, man vs. nature, and man vs. himself we saw this three conflict. The hunger game thought us so many things one of the great thing that we learned from this book is sacrifice. In the very beginning of the story Catnisis she sacrifice herself when the game begin her younger sister got picked, but Catnisis she volunteer and herself and joined the hunger game she save her younger sister and sacrifice herself. From this book we learned one very important thing which is sacrifice and I think it’s very important for us and for a family. || By Mohammed ||
