Hunger Games Resaerch Project

     This is a post on my Hunger games research project. One of my favorite topics in the book was how the characters were surviving in the wilderness Jungle. It had many different weather changes, and that really effected the tributes.
     The environment of the Hunger Games was a tropical rainforest. Tropical rainforest can be really hot or really cold. They could have little or alot of food growth. That comes naturally which makes the forest in the Hunger Games unnatural. In the Hunger Games people called the gamemakers make the forest heat up or cool down. It could also change the weather to pouring rain to a heat blaze.
     If you were lost in the woods then here is some steps you could use like the tributes probably used in the arena:
  1. Be prepared. Make sure someone knows where you are going every time you go into  the wilderness, and how long you intend to be gone. Katniss would let Peeta know when she was getting ready to go to hunt for food.
  2.  Don't Panic. Stay in one place, and you decrease your chances of being found. Katniss and Peeta were taught in the training center to camouflage themselves.
     You could also compare the Hunger Games with Survivor. CBS's Survivor has become one of the most watched television shows in America.  One of the reasons for this show's success is that there is an adventurer in all  of us and since we all cannot be in a survival situation we like to live  vicariously through the people on the show, just like people live through the characters in the Hunger Games with the emotion, romance, and the fighting.
     That is why I chose Wilderness Survival for my research project because I wanted a challenge like the tributes in the Hunger Games had a challenge to stay alive.
