Summary

I enjoyed this book & I am going to be sharing a little bit about this book. Enjoy :)

The story is about a place in North America called Panem. Neighboring Panem is 13 districts. The Capitol - the ones who own the 13 districts force the people of each district to send one female and one male 12-18 year old as a tribute to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. This happens every year, but District 13 was blown to bits because they were the face of the rebellion against the capitol before the Hunger Games was well-established. A young lady named Katniss Everdeen volunteered for her sister Primrose Everdeen when her name was called for her to go to the Hunger Games along with a young man named Peeta Mellark. What Katniss doesn’t know was that Peeta likes her, and he declares his love for her. Unfortunately, they were on death’s doorstep more than once during the games. When they win the games, the President of the Capitol, President Snow thinks that a rebellion may be starting.

Task 2 - Write your own poem about the Olympic Games. It should have at least 4 verses with 4 lines in each verse.

The Olympic Games

Countries with different names

Versing to reach their full potential

So be very gentle

Taking our time with fear

To make sure it’s all clear

Praying we win it

Just for a little bit

Having all those skills

With types of thrills

Finally we are first

Not on our worst

Making sure we’re done

Waiting for one

Winning that gold

Until we’re old

Task 3 - Solve this word problem

James decided to paint his bedroom. His bedroom walls are 5 metres long and 3 metres high.

1. If 6 litres of paint can cover 10 square metres of the wall, how much paint should James buy to paint all the walls of his bedroom.
2. If paint costs $12.00 per litre, how much will James pay for the paint.

Solution : I now know that one wall has the dimension of 5m x 3m or 15m2, if 6 litres of paint can cover 10m2, 1 litre can cover 10/6 L  or 3/5m2 .

For 1 wall James would use 9 Litres of paint, and I have imagined this would be like a square room. A square room has 4 walls, so that would mean I have to multiply my first answer (9 L) by 4. 9 x 4 = 36, 36 litres of paint had to be used for James to be able to paint his full bedroom.

1 Litre of paint costs : $12.00 ; there is 36 Litres of paint so that means 12 x 36 = ?

12 x 30 = 360 ; 12 x 6 = 72 ; 360 + 72 = $432.
