The Hunger Games
I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the book The Hunger Games. This book is about a competition that takes place every year where the main character (Katniss) is from. This competition is referred to as the Hunger Games. Every year each districts (which are kind of like states) have to send one girl and one boy to fight to the death against all of the others. There is a total of 24 kids that are sent in to fight. This book was made into a movie, and all of my workmates say I look like Katniss. This has led them to calling me Katniss as a nickname, which got me thinking about how I would do in the Hunger Games.
After pondering this, I have decided I would die within the first two days. First of all, I don't think that I could ever kill someone. This leaves me two choices: run or hide. The thing is, neither of these things are my strong suit. First of all, I don't think I could run more than 50 yards without stopping. Also, I'm not very fast...at all. So, this leaves me with hiding. Like I said, not my strong suit. When I played hide'n'seek as a kid I always got way too anxious and nervous that I was going to be found. This, most of the time, caused me to just give up. I think if I had to hide and I knew that of someone found me I would die, I would probably worry until I went insane. This insanity would drive me to either kill myself or come out of hiding, where someone would then kill me. Hopefully I'm never in the Hunger Games!
