1- What is the "big idea" (theme) in this book?
The Main idea in the book is that there should be live in peace, and that you should be happy with what u have, be happy to have a roof over your head

2-What were your thoughts, ideas and opinions about the "big idea" before beginning this novel?
At the beginning I thought that it was about surviving since the name of the book is " The Hunger Games". I also thought that is was about death since there was a bird catching an arrow on the front of the cover and also the cover was black which in my eyes represents sadness and death.

3-What do you think now?
Now that I have read the book, I think that the book was all about courage, sadness and death.

4-In the novel, the world is a better place because...
I personally I don’t think that the world was a better place in the novel because, there was allot of killing hungering and most of the time luck is needed to survive. You have to be lucky and hope that you aren’t the one who is going to be called out for the Games.

5-I could make the world a better place by...
The world would be a better place if there weren’t any Games in the Arena. Because the Games are a horrible thing. So many children get killed.

Katniss would not join the Vancouver Riots because she is a smart girl. She has a lot of problems of her own and I could not imagine her wanting to cause more problems to her family and herself. Katniss dad died and ever since she is the one that is feeding her sister and her depressed mom; therefor Katniss would be too worried trying to feed herself and her family that she would never think about being part of some useless trouble causing Riot. In conclusion Katniss would not join the riot; because she is a very smart girl also she has many other things to worry about.

This picture shows a little girl crying. I choose this picture, because in the novel the hunger games lots of innocent people suffer. They die from starvation ,and are treated badly. Being wiped for going over the fence that surrounds district 12 ,and killed for standing up to the captol. When Prim gets called for the hunger games, Katniss knows that her sister would die, therefore Katniss has decided to take her little sisters spot knowing that the chances of her surviving are low. Her family and friends suffer allot knowing that Katniss is facing people that have trained there whole life for the hunger games. But giving up is only a mistake, even though there are strict rules, and breaking one could cost your life.
