I cannot believe that the Capitol makes children participate in a fight to the death in The Hunger Games. This year my younger sister, Prim, was one of the 24 tributes chosen to fight in The Hunger Games. I knew that she would not stand a chance against the older tributes so I volunteered in fight in her place. This was a decision that I hoped I would never have to make.
I have just put my life in danger by volunteering to participate in this bloodbath. I have to think about leaving my Mother and Prim. I do not know if I will ever see them again. I am not supposed to have to think about that at my age. I am only 16 years old.
I am very scared to fight in the Hunger Games. Will I be able to protect myself and have a chance to survive? I do not want my younger sister and my Mother to see me die fighting in the games. This fear makes me angry because I should be having fun with my life; not worrying if I will survive in the Hunger Games.
It is outrageous that the people of the Capitol find the games entertaining. They are all heartless jerks because no child be forced to fight for their life.
The decision to go to the games has changed my life in a way that I never imagined. I have seen the games many times on television, but I cannot imagine what it will be like to participate. Now it is all up to me, I can stay fearful or fight with confidence.
