For this latest MIRR, I created the book The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins. This book is set in the future in a place called Panem. Panem arose from the remnants of North America and consists of a wealthier capital surrounded by 12 poorer districts that are under the heavy supervision of the capital. Every year, as punishment for rebellion against the capital, an event called the Hunger Games takes place, intended to prevent anyone from fighting against the capital and causing a revolution. The Hunger Games welcomes children ages 12 to 19, and you can enter your name multiple times to win food and money. The way they chose who will participate in the Hunger Games is called harvesting; it takes a girl and a man from every neighborhood and forces them to fight for their lives. The two people who chose where, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They must be trained by their mentor. A mentor is someone who won the last Hunger Games, and their job is to train the Hunger Games tributes. Before the Hunger Games begin, you have some time to prepare, this includes training, impressing the game's creators and the capital, and making friends. You can receive donations inside the arena, and to get donations you need to have a lot of supporters, that's why you need to impress the capital. Once in the arena, anything goes, there are no rules. The last person standing will win and be the mentor next year. Character Analysis: Katniss Everdeen: Katniss is very responsible; I know this because she took care of her entire family single-handedly for several years. This shows responsibility because it is very difficult to raise a 12 year old child (primarily the sister) alone at the age of 16. Katniss feeds prim, her mother and...... middle of paper ...... but rather her real life. This book has so many problems that almost anyone could read it. There was nothing I didn't enjoy and would recommend it to 12 year olds. Metacognitive: The reading strategy I used the most while reading this book is visualization. The reason this reading strategy was used the most was because of the way the book is presented. The detail allows the reader to immerse themselves in the book and in the lives of the characters. Another reason I used visualization is because for me it makes the book more exciting and more adventurous because it allows you to put yourself in the character's perspective. For example, when they (SPOILER ALERT) were running away from those huge dogs at the end and they reached the cornucopia, I could imagine what it was like for them to run and I could see the cornucopia even s there were no photos..
