The Hunger Games


           The novel that I have read is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This book is rich in moral values that we can use as an example in our daily lives and challenges.

           One of the main moral values in this story tells us that it doesn't matter where you come from to determine your outcome. Katniss Everdeen comes from the neglected and poverty stricken District 12. Katniss shows us that through determination and will power, we can overcome the odds and change our fate.
         
            Besides that, The Hunger Games also teaches us to always think of the ones dear to us during desperate times. In the Games, every contestant is given the chance to bring one token to remind them of home. Katniss' friend, Madge gave her a Mockingjay pin before she had left for the Capitol and it has been her calling card ever since.

            Finally, The Hunger Games also teaches us to never forget where we came from. Katniss had worked hard her entire life to evade starvation. Therefore, she never took the unlimited supply of food and drinks in the Capitol during her time there.

           The Hunger Games is truly a book I admire and I highly recommend it to all readers who are looking for a good book to just sit down and read. This book has taught me several lessons and I will take them as examples in my life's journey.
