The Hunger Games

Surbhi, I have exciting news. I have another reason why The Hunger Games should be banned! It puts people's self confidence down. The capitol's society is based on beauty, and without it you are considered an outcast. To be beautiful, you pretty much have to dye yourself green and put your hair in spikes with tatoos around your eyes. That's not good for the young people reading the books. It tells them that they can't be pretty without their makeup. Also, the book also having a deciving nature. A quote in the book says, "Peeta opens his mouth for the first bite without hesitation. He swallows, then frowns slightly. "They're very sweet.""Yes they're sugar berries. My mother makes jam from them. Haven't you've ever had them before?" I say, poking the next spoonful in his mouth."No," he says, almost puzzled. "But they taste familiar. Sugar berries?""Well, you can't get them in the market much, they only grow wild," I say. Another mouthful goes down. Just one more to go."They're sweet as syrup," he says, taking the last spoonful. "Syrup." His eyes widen as he realizes the truth. I clamp my hand over his mouth and nose hard, forcing him to swallow instead of spit. He tries to make himself vomit the stuff up, but it's too late, he's already losing consciousness. Even as he fades away, I can see in his eyes what I've done is unforgiveable.I sit back on my heels and look at him with a mixture of sadness and satisfaction. A stray berry stains his chin and I wipe it away. "Who can't lie, Peeta?" I say, even though he can't hear me." This quote makes it ok to lie, which it almost never is. Since Katniss is so influencal, this could be a pretty big problem.
But I have reasons why they shouldn't be banned. The books are genuine. They show that the small things matter, and how to have fun in almost every situation. One of these situations is Peeta when he is with Katniss in the Hunger Games. He says “Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.” It shows having a good attidude, especially since Katniss got a laugh out of it. And when Rue died, that really touched my heart. That scene was a great example of love and friendship. a quote from there says, “Deep in the meadow, under the willowa bed of grass, a soft green pillow lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyesand when again they open, the sun will rise.Hear it's safe, here it's warm hear the daisies guard you from every harm hear your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true hear is the place where i love you.Deep in the meadow, hidden far away a clock of leaves, a moonbeam rayforget your woes and let your troubles lay and when again it's morning, they'll wash away.Hear it's safe, hears its' warm hear the daises guard you from every harm Hear your dreams are sweet and tomorrow bring them true hear is the place where I love you.”
