The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins pg. 1-24

     This week I started reading The Huger Games, by Suzanne Collins. In the chapter Collins described what the life in district 12 is like. Their town was very poor and dull. Everyone had to hunt to eat, trade to get goods, and live under the capitals rules. Katniss only has a mom and Collins didn't mention what happened to her dad. Katniss is very close with her sister Prim and her friend Gale.
     In the reading, when Collins described Katniss's mother as a quiet and cautious woman. I don't think she acts like a mother should. Katniss acts like more of a mother than Prim's actual mother. She provides the food and helps to keep their lives together. I don't like how Collins did not explain how their father died. It leaves you wanting to keep reading to find out.
