Can You Handle the Games?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has proven to be an amazing book. It is intense and thrilling. The main character, Katniss Everdeen, is in peril. "The Games" have started and I can't help but wonder what I would do if I were Katniss. Starving, unable to trust anyone and trying to stay alive would be more than I could handle. What about you? How would you feel? How would you act and react in the Arena?

If I were placed in Katniss's situation I would be overwhelmed by the task at hand but not give up and to try to stay alive. If I was in the arena I would keep a level held and stay calm. It might be hard to stay calm but i would try my best. By the way The Hunger Games was an awsome book.
Honestly, I don't think I would survive one minute in the arena. I definately would be the one to get killed right away. But if i were Katniss and had the skills and grew up with the Hunger Games I still would feel extremely anxious. I read the book, and once it is dark and she goes to sleep in a tree. I don't think I could ever fall asleep knowing there are others out there waiting to attack and prepared to kill me. I would try and wait until most are killed off before I started taking matters into my own hands. When the last few people were alive I think I would take my chances. If someone was attacking me I probably would not have the time to think about what I was going to do. But thankfully I don't have to worry about it! :)
I have also read the book. I don't think I would last as long as Katniss did. She has more skills to use then i would. She could shoot and kill things with her arrows to eat. I wouldn't have anyway of catching food to survive. I think I would be scared,alone and starving. I could run away from people but i sure wouldn't have the heart to kill. I wouldn't be able to survive alone in the area unless I had someone by my side helping me. I would probably just hide from people hoping that no one would find me and if they did I would be dead. I would be scared to turn any corner just waiting for some one to pop out at me. My opponents would be glad that I was such an easy target. When I leave for the games that would be the last they saw of me.
OMG!!!! I'm reading The Hunger Games, too! Its such a good book,but i didn't finish it yet. I agree that it must be hard for Katniss. I couldn't handle being in a fight for life. If you make one false move, your life could be over. I would feel intimidated, and probably very hungry. I wouldn't even be able to trust the other fighter from my district( in this case Peeta). What if i was against my best friend, or somebody i know very well? I would freak out!!!! I could only imagine what Katniss is going through.
i would be scared. That would be really scary for me. Because i dont like sharp objects and swords.
I would be very scared. Katniss was so brave. she stood up for herself and fought. i probably would not do very well in the arena. i wouldn't react or handle anything well.
The Hunger Games, i think, are only for the capitol's amusement. the hunger games aren't needed for any of the districts. if i were in the games; they would feel so overwelming, i know i wouldn't be able to last enough time to win because survivial isn't the only thing you need. you need to be able to trust other people/players. my reaction to the games wouldn't be the same as everyone else's because since i read the book, i think the capitol made the games for their amusement as i said before and all the players in the game are just pawns to show the disticts what the capitol can do. just in case one the districts try to do something.
If I were put in Katniss' position in the Games, I would probably find one singular person, most likely the other from my district, that I could trust and stick with them. Obviously, this would cause the problem that ONE of us has to die in the end. Before this time came, I would hope that one of us ( prefferably the other person) is killed by somebody else in the Games ( most likely one of the Careers) before I was put into the position that I would have to kill my ally to live myself. HOWEVER, if there was nobody in the Games that I couls trust to begin with, I would try as hard as i could not to develop many strong bonds with other players so that it won't be as damaging to my concience when they are killed. ( not that killing wouldn't damage my concience no matter what...) I think that that would be the most difficult part of the games; killing and watching others kill the people that you have grown close to. That is how I would react and act in the games.
I would feel like I would have to be able to trust sombody and i would probably resort to a life of crime because i would never be able to get enough food for my family. in the arena however, i would try to escape it and run away to hide in secrecy.
If she is striving and cant trust any1 she should try to eat 1 of the other players so she survives
I haven't actually read this book yet...but from the sound of it, I'd hide and curl up in a corner. Its sounds horrifying. I would be totally freaked out.
In Katniss's position, i would have taken my brothers spot in the reaping and would have reacted similar to Katniss in the arena, i wouldn't have trusted anyone, i wouldn't have pulled the stunt with Peta, i would have kiled him and gotten it overwith, i also wouldn't have made an aliance with rue, i would have sat in a tree, waiting for some one to come bye and have put an arrow through theit heads.
I think that I would be great in the arena. mabey not.....Besides the whole kill or be killed I wouldn't really mind it. So I would die pretty quick. Also katniss knows how to hunt and knows what to eat as in plants, so if I was her I wouldn't mind the games but I'm not her so I don't think I could handle the games and murder is something i could not do. To answer your question I would feel scared until I died wich would be short after the games started
If Iwere Katniss I would be overwelmed but excited. You can win a lifeof fame and fourtionejust by killing. Come to think of it al you need is a cleaver hiding spot to sit the games out in and just wait. That should have een her stratagy
If I was in the Hunger Games I would definetly feel like I could never sleep! I mean seriously would you get even an hour of rest if you knew that 20 other people were out to kill you? NO!
So maybe the first thing I would do is get as many weapons and back packs as possible to stay alive. Then I would find the perfect hide away where I could set up camp and be hidden from everyone else. I would have to make it portable though, so if needed I could move. I would also hope that the others would kill each other and leave me little work. Honestly its really hard to think what I would do since I'm not in that situation but, those are some ideas...By the way the Hunger Games was the BEST BOOK EVER!!!!
if i was Katniss I ' m sure i would be killed in just seconds. I would never survive, I would be very nervous because like i said i know I wouldn't be able to survive as long as Kitniss did.
i honestly have to say i would probably be dead in 1 or 2 days!
i would hopefully survive more than a week. I camp and hunt all the time so i might get away with surviving for 5 days before someone were to kill me.
