For this final MIRR I made the Hunger Games book by: Suzanne Collins. This book is set in the future in a place called Panem. Panem was born from the remnants of North America and consists of a wealthier capital surrounded by 12 other poor districts that are under the capital's strict supervision. Every year as punishment for the rebellion against the capital, an event called the Hunger Games takes place which aims to suppress anyone who fights against the capital and causes a revolution. The Hunger Games involve kids ages 12 to 19, and you can enter your name more than once to earn food and money. The way they choose the people to participate in the Hunger Games is called the reaping; this takes a girl and a boy from each district 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 a person who won the last Hunger Games and his job is to train the tributes about the Hunger Games. Before the Hunger Games starts you have some time to prepare, this includes training, impressing the game's creators and the capital, and making some friends. You can receive donations when you are in the arena and to receive donations you need to have many supporters, that's why you need to impress the capital. Once inside 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 alone for several years. This shows responsibility because it is very difficult to raise a 12 year old girl (Prim's sister) alone at the age of 16. Katniss feeds Prim, her mother and...... middle of paper...... but rather it's real life. This book presents such a broad range of issues that almost anyone could read it. There is nothing I didn't like and I would recommend it to 12 year olds-Metacognitive: The reading strategy I used the most while reading this book is visualization. The reason this was the most used reading strategy was because of the way the book is structured. 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 adventurous because it allows you to put yourself in the character's perspective. For example, when (SPOILER ALERT) they finally ran away from these huge dogs and reached the cornucopia, I could imagine what it was like for them to run and I could see the cornucopia even though there are no pictures.
