The next post

A question about the text that I want to know is how come there isn’t much cussing? Normally, people of a lower class have a foul language and people of the much higher class will have them too. They say that it is a lack of knowledge or vocabulary and that is why people will cuss. If District 12 is so poor then you would assume that they wouldn’t have very good schooling program and wouldn’t be very knowledgeable. The higher classes also seem to have foul mouths. I do not really know why that is. My guess would be that they feel like they have power or are putting someone down by using it. Either way there are poor people and rich people in this book and I am just curious why there isn’t any cussing. I also would like to know if it really benefits with all the detail in the book. I love the detail because it makes you really feel like you are there but there really isn’t that much going on and the train ride to the capitol takes forever. Is it supposed to be that way so that it makes you feel like you’re on the train I’m guessing or is it drug on way to much? I haven’t read too much so I don’t really know if this is more off a good thing or if later I’ll think that this book just elaborates way too much. Those are some questions about the text that I would like to know!

New free writing

A big question that I would like to know is why do they have the games? The book might have said it but I did not catch it if it did. Why is this capitol such a big deal? I do not understand it. It seems like everyone thinks that they have to give back to it. Another question that i have is why do they treat these people in the games like gods? They give them everything they want. Most of the people in the games did not want to be there they were chosen to be so why are they treated special? Also why do these people have to die? I know that everyone wants to see blood but why wouldn’t they just watch TV? I have not gotten to the actual games yet so I have a lot of questions about that but I am assuming that those questions will be answered. I am very surprised that they allow girls into the arena. Things like this are just normally things that men do but I guess that would make it fair. This book was a very clever idea and I am so anxious to finish it and start the next one. I have a lot of questions about what could possibly be in the second book too much it would probably help answer some if I finish the first one first. I also do not understand why these places are so poor. How can there be no one that is considered rich in this town? If everyone is so poor there why wouldn’t the people leave and move to a richer town?

Hunger Games guided response 2

The title goes so well with this story. The games are so intense and, to me, make you hungry for more. The more you read the more you want to read. All the detail and everything about the games makes you want to know what happens next. I couldn’t imagine being on the train on the way to the games. That would be so nerve racking. I think the title is a very curious title as well. If you just read the title alone and know nothing about the book, you can get all sorts of ideas. Once you start to read the book though it gets you really excited to learn about these games. The whole beginning gets your mind wondering because everything that is said seems to revolve around these games and for it to be called “Hunger” games it just makes you think who or what is hungry and what for. Are there huge animals that come from hiding somewhere and not only do you have to fight other people you have to kill starving animals? Or is it the crowd that is hungry for death so whether or not you win the battle they will kill you anyways so people can see death? After starting the book I really want to know what or who is the hungry one. I am so excited to keep reading and I have no idea what to expect. All I can think about at the moment is Hunger Games and how Katnis, the girl, is going to stay alive.
