Book One Project


The book I read was The Hunger Games. I only read the book because people have been talking about it and saying how good it was, so I decided to see if it was as good as the people were saying. I think that the book was even better than I heard it was. It was the best book I have ever read.  At the beginning of the book it was kind of boring but when it hit part two it became a whole different book. The Hunger Games would keep you interested the whole time and make you want to keep reading.
I think that the hunger games should be turned into a video game. At the beginning of the game you will appear in training but you only can show one of your skills so you have to do something to impress the game makers like what Katniss “without think, I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it straight at the gamesmakers’s table. I hear shouts of alarm as people stumble back. The arrow skewers the apple in the pig’s mouth and pins it to the wall behind it” page 102. Also in the game you would be able to pick from any of the people that are in the games but you could also choose primrose and gale. Also you can choose which year of the hunger games you want to play and you can choose any of the battle fields they have played in. The players will have special moves if you get the weapon or the skill that the player you chose does the best with. Like Peeta and his camouflage. “Peeta? I whisper. Where are you? There’s no answer. Could I just have imagined? No, I’m certain it was real and really close at hand, too. I creep along the bank. Well, don’t step on me. I jump back; his voice was right under my feet.” Page 252.And going back to the game if you win the hunger games you get paid $20,000.00 and with the money you get from winning you can upgrade your character or even when you are in battle you can buy the weapon your character is good with and have it dropped down onto the playing field. I came up with getting money because it says in the book who ever wins moves into one of the huge house that were made for the winners of the games and also you win tons of money. But in the game the weapons are more advanced, there are all types of guns flame throwers and even grenades. But to get to these weapons you need to get a shovel that comes in one of the twenty-four bags and you need to find a special spot in the arena and dig deep down and then you will get to a locker and you have to use one of the knives you get in your pack and pick the lock. Also when you upgrade your player you can make it so he is good with every weapon so that no matter what weapon you get you will have a special move. But you can even design your own character our save a picture of yourself on your game system and it will even make you a character and you can play as yourself. I think that this idea would work because since the hunger game has been in the theaters it has made around 215 million dollars. Also it could help you understand the book a little better because you will know what all of the characters look like and you will also know what the area they are playing on looks like. Because when I was reading it I imagined it a lot different than it really was. This game will give the book more attention because most people love to play video games and if you are playing the game you will probably want to see what the book is like and you will read the first one and then get hooked to the rest of the hunger game books. Also the game will make a lot of money because all of the people who are hunger game fanatics will buy it and even people who like killing games will like it to.

  1. I like the specific aspects of the book you integrated to the game idea, like impressing the game makers. And your ideas for upgrading and extending the game are fun, too.

    Formatting things: The highlighted text makes it a little hard to read the quotations. A lot of names are not capitalized and book titles go in italics.
