Reading Notes 2014 6th: The Hunger Games

I have never read a complete English novel before. I have added an English novel to my goal this year, but I have not decided which one to read in the first four months. I accidentally saw Mockingjay in Sun's QQ space, saying it was a good English novel. It seems to be the third part. I Googled and found that the first novel was the Hunger Games. The movie with the same name has been released for a long time. After a brief introduction, 24 people will be killed to only 1 person, it is determined that this book will be completed first this year.

It was quite difficult to read this book at the beginning. Although I had accumulated a certain vocabulary before, I encountered many new words in the first chapter. Fortunately, I can check the dictionary at any time on the Kindle, in this way, I slowly licked two chapters. At this time, I was attracted by the plot in the book. Some of them couldn't help it. I began to look for movies with the same name on the Internet. The movies were actually stories concentrated and then concentrated, many complex psychological descriptions in the book are hard to express in movies. In a few minutes, the film has completed the second chapter of the book. When we see that Katniss started the training scenario before Hunger Games, we had to pause the film for further reading. Otherwise, after knowing the final result in advance, the book would become tasteless and unable to read any more.

The book starts from the early morning of Katniss's Reaping Day (that is, trigger the lottery). After reading these two chapters, I will never forget the meaning of trigger, one male and one female should be selected for Hunger Games as a tribute in each district. Although she is only 16 years old, she has been living on illegal hunting in the jungle next to Area 12 and then changing food or necessities in the black market (Hob) to feed her family: her mother and her beloved sister (the father had been blown up in a mine event ). Her boyfriend Gale, two years older than her, is in a similar situation. She also relies on illegal hunting to support his younger brother and sisters.

The lottery ceremony began at two o'clock P.M.. It turns out that there was a serious riot in history. to punish the lottery, 12 to 12 times a year from each district ~ Among the 18-year-olds, a man and a woman were selected, and a total of 24 people attended the Hunger Games. The rule was simple. They threw them into a designated place and killed each other until there was only one person left.

The first trigger was extracted. It turned out to be Katniss's sister Prim!

Katniss did not want her beloved sister to die in vain. She acted as a volunteer (I volunteer) to replace her sister. Peeta Mellark is also the trigger of every two Trigrams. He is a savior of Katniss. His parents run bakery, a roast bakery. She was about to starve to death when Katniss was 11 years old, peeta threw her a loaf of bread to survive.

When leaving, I don't remember who gave her a Mockingjay brooch in Area 12. Mockingjay is a magical bird that can repeat human conversations before, later, he could only imitate the voice of a person, which is much better than a parrot. It is also appropriate to translate the story into a "" in the movie. The cover of the book is also the brooch.

After leaving, they got on a very luxurious train. Their Mentor (the winner in the last 12-Zone competition, don't worry about eating, don't worry, don't get drunk all day) slowly gave them some guidance, they also learned about tributes in other areas on TV.

Then there was an admission reality show, a training session, and an interview with the live broadcast. A rich man watched the killing of the neighborhood and the real man game was about to begin ......

The story is full of suspense, which makes people want to stop.
