The poem I have selected goes with the story behind The Hunger Games perfectly. The poem is very short and straight to the point but it has away of taking what happened in the book and putting it into a few words. Katniss tried to stay away or above all the other tributes. Any little sound would wake her up because she was scared and wanted to stay on high alert. She gained scars from problems she faced while in the games. The times like when Katniss got burned and then again when she was fighting for the medicine for Peeta, she was cut by a knife above her eyebrow. Although when she got back to the capitol all her scars were removed even ones she didn’t get from being in the games, it was still important in the games because it showed what she went through. While Katniss was in the games there were only a handful of people that thought she was going to make it out. Coming from the poorest district, not being feed like some of the other tributes and the fact that district 12 hasn’t won the games in almost 30 years, it was unlikely that Katniss and Peeta would win. They made it out though, beat all the odds and made the capitol look like a fool in the process. Katniss was never really surrounded until the end when all the mutts were around the cornucopia. All the past tributes that had already passed were made into some kind of dogs trying to kill just another tribute, to make the games just a little more interesting for everyone watching. 275
