HUNGER GAMES
BE CAREFUL : Paulette loves English has got a piece of advice : you must be 13 years old or more to read these books!
Let me talk about Hunger games, a trilogy.
I’ve chosen this subject because I am fond of it and because I would like to share it with other people.
First, “Hunger games” are 3 books written by Suzanne Collins. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in Panem, the new name of the USA in the books. After a nuclear war, the USA are ravaged. Panem is divided into 12 parts called “districts” and Snow, the President, is at the head of the country. The heroine is Katniss, a girl who is 16 years old at the beginning of the story. She lives in the 12th district with her family.Every year, some games are organized: the Hunger Games.
The contestants are drawn lots. Then, they are in a big arena in the nature. Here, they must survive and stay alive the longest time as possible and the latest.
But one day, Prim, Katniss’s sister is drawing lots. But Katniss, who loves her sister so much, says: “
I’ll substitute to my sister!”Then, Hunger Games is meeting with success in France and in the USA.
Finally, a movie adapted from the books will be on the screens on the 21st of March in France.
