Spring Assessment

Are you Hungry for the Games?

On a frigid and terrible weathered day, Katniss is fighting to stay alive and hunting human-beings down to be allowed to live in the more rich part of District 12.  Katniss is trying to keep the promise that she made with her little sister, Prim.  People think District 12 can’t win because they are the poorest district.  The district 12 tributes can’t wait to show the other tributes to count them in the Games because they have the same chance to win as the others. The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins teaches you multiple lessons about survival and sacrificing something important for the people that you adore.

Although, you think food will never run out, you are wrong.  If no more food is made or found people will starve and die.  In district 12 that is the case.  Most of the deaths there are from starvation. Katniss’s family was poor and didn’t have much to eat.  When Katniss was getting ready to prepare for the Hunger Games they had piles of terrific food.  Katniss was just eating like crazy until she was almost about to barf. She performed the lesson to take advantage to what is in front of you because it won’t always be there.

Even though you want to look nice in front of people, most people don’t like you because of looks.  Most people and the people worth to have in your life only care about what is in the inside and not what is on the outside. This is an important lesson in life because you don’t want to be friends with people who are beautiful on the outside, but not on the inside.  Friendships start when two people like the way people act and care about each other a lot. That won’t happen if their inside isn’t beautiful.


Whenever watching sports or activities that you are interested in, usually the smart person wins over the strong person.  It would be awesome to be smart and strong, but sometimes you can only be one. People when watching sports and other activities think right away that the stronger person will win over the smart person or a weak opponent.  Experience and smartness is way more important than strength. The main lesson to learn here is that smartness is as or more important than muscle.

Being smart is very important; because it will help you live in the long run.  Also taking advantage to what is in front of you is another great lesson, too. The important thing to grab and learn out of this essay is that you can learn new key information from books, which you never would have thought of. No matter how strong you are, the smarter and more experienced person will always win or succeed the fight.
