The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins tells a story about a girl whose bravery changed the way people thought about their world. The three grueling challenges that the main character, Katniss Everdeen, had faced show what I believe to be challenging. The first challenge that I have chosen was when Katniss had to provide for her family by hunting in the woods for food. My second challenge that I have chosen was when Katniss and Rue began to form a bond during the games. My third challenge that I have chosen was when Katniss offered the Nightlock berries to Peeta. I have chosen each of these challenges because they all show the reader how the characters struggle to make decisions and how they have overcome the obstacles during these times.

I have passion in my life Mr. Rainsford, and it is to hunt.” (Connell 221-222) Then the reason why rainsford stayed was because he probably wanted to hear what he said about his book or just because he read it which was not smart that rainsford was not thinking and he didn 't know anything about him or what he does besides hunt he probably thinks that General Zaroff is a very good and handsome man.
