Independent Reading- Theme and Summary

I read the book The Hunger Games. This book is about about a country with 12 districts. In this country, every year, they have a fight to death called the hunger games. Katniss Everdeen has a little sister named Prim. Prim gets chosen to be one of the tributes for the hunger games. Katniss volunteers to take her place. The book is about Katniss's battle to survive in the arena against the other tributes. The theme of this book would be Enjoy life no matter what its like because it can change for the worse in an instant. I think the theme is this because in the beginning of the book Katniss's life is not great. She lives in a poor part of the country and she has to work very hard just to get food and other basic items for her family. Katniss does not appreciate her life at this time. She only sees the bad things about her life. Once Katniss gets put into the hunger games she starts to feel differently about life. The reader can gather this information from her thoughts. Katniss is trying really hard to stay alive in the arena. Life is a constant battle in the arena. She misses her life back home in district 12. Although her life wasnt great at home, it was still alot better than it was in the arena. This shows the life lesson that Katniss learned;  Enjoy life no matter what its like because it can change in an instant.
