Hunger Games: The Reaping

Hunger Games is well- known series movie and a book series. In this series, there are twelve districts and each year there is an event that is called, “The Reaping.” At this event, there are two people that are chosen out of a bowl from each district, one boy and one girl. The individual that is picked out of the bowl then goes into an arena to fight for their life. During their time in the arena, they need to find their own food and shelter, while also trying to stay alive and not get killed by the other individuals in the arena. Only one of the twenty- four individuals will be left standing and become a victor. When you are reading the book series, it is told in the first person point of view.

In my opinion, they should have aimed this series at a particular age group. For example, older teens. If they aimed it at that particular age group, they could have allowed more scenes to be shown.

There is killing, fighting, and there are some scenes that could have escalated into something
