Into the book
“No, Katniss! No! You can’t go!”
“Prim, let go of this.”
I speak with a rough tone on purpose.
I feel like I'm going to faint, but I don't want to cry.
Because if I'm shown crying when they rebroadcast the district raffle on TV tonight, I'll be labeled as a pushover, a weakling.
I will never give that satisfaction to anyone.
“Let go of this!”
I feel someone pulling Prim.
I look back and see Gail holding Prim.
Prim is thrashing wildly in Gail's arms.
“Go up, Katniss.”
Gail tries to keep her voice calm and leads Prim towards her mother.
I steel myself and climb the stairs.
“Bravo! This is the spirit of the Hunger Games!”
Epi Trinket's voice pops out.
He seems happy that something fun is finally happening in his area.
“What is your name?”
I swallow hard and answer.
“This is Katniss Everdeen.”
“I guess the person who was chosen was my younger brother.
You didn't want your younger brother to steal the glory, did you? Now, everyone! Let's give our new tribute a big round of applause!"
Epi Trinket chirps.
Not a single person applauds.
It will be an eternal honor for the residents of District 12.
Even those who bet money on the game, and those who no longer care about the Hunger Games, are not applauding.
Maybe it's because they all met me at Hob, or knew my dad, or met Prim, my sister Prim, whom no one could help but love.
While everyone else is protesting with silence, the most daring expression of dissent within the realm of impunity, I stand motionless on the stage.
A silence that cries out that we cannot agree.
A silence that cries out that we cannot forgive.
A silence that screams that all this is wrong.

Publisher's Review
This is the first book in the 'Hunger Games' series, which rewrote the history of action fantasy novels, and has been highly praised by Bill Gates and Stephen King.
It was a New York Times bestseller for 260 consecutive weeks and has been translated into 54 languages worldwide.
Panem, a future dictatorship.
It consists of the Capital, where wealth and technology are concentrated, and twelve districts where wealth and technology are not concentrated.
When the residents of the surrounding twelve districts, unable to bear the poverty and inequality, revolt, the ruling class of the Capitol crushes them more thoroughly and carries out an even more severe reign of terror.
The Hunger Games, a survival game for twenty-four teenage boys and girls, is one of them.
Then, as the 74th game progresses, something unexpected happens… .
The publication of Suzanne Collins' captivating novel, set in a dystopian future, sparked a brief boom in teenage dystopian fiction.
The popularity of these novels led to the production of five films, including a trilogy and a prequel.
