Catching Fire

The book I just recently read is called Catching Fire by, Suzanne Collins is the second book in the series of  "The Hunger Games Trilogy". This book is about Katniss, the main character who's time is set in the future where they have a whole whole new world. They have a central government who rules capitol them harshly. Every year the capital hosts The Hunger Games, where from each district (city) has to bring forth 2 tributes (a boy and a girl both under the age of 17) to fight to death in an arena for the entertainment of the people of the capitol. Katniss had been in the drawing of being in the Hunger Games once already and had won, alongside her "lover" Peeta. They get reelected back into The Hunger Games and this whole book is about the experience that this journey came with. 

I think that Katniss is very brave. Since the book is told from her point of view (first person), you don't get the sense that she's THAT brave, until almost the end of the first book and leading onto he second book. You don't realize it because she's such a selfless person that she never sees herself but somebody helping others. I think that the moral of this book is that even if your in a game for yourself, you should always look around you, and ask yourself if being so selfish is really necessary. Katniss performs this deed by helping the other tributes in the arena. Also other tributes helped her in return. I think all in all that being fair and being aware is a key life lesson you have to learn.
