In this article it talks about food and how important it is for our lives. In The Hunger Games Katniss talks a lot about how she was always on the hunt for food. I mean literally on the hunt. Her family didn’t have the money to go and buy food all the time. Katniss would hunt for things for her family to eat or sometimes they would trade the animals she killed. Like when she killed a squirrel she would trade it with the baker for some bread. There was also a time in Katniss’s life where her and her family were starving. She didn’t want to go hunting because her and her father would do that together and he had just passed, so it was hard for her to do it without him. Petta who is her partner in the games had burned some bread at his fathers bakery and tossed it out too Katniss. She believes that without Petta doing that her and her family wouldn’t be alive to see even be in the drawing for the games. Katniss and Petta were also low on food during the games. They soon learned were to find the best berries and Katniss got a bow so she could go hunting instead of trying to trap the animals. Once Katniss blew up the stash of all the food that some of the tributes had made it seems as if they were having trouble finding food also. In their districts they never had to hunt for food or lean about what was safe to eat because it was always just given to them.  271
