Kolman Ruvein:
As I walk home from what may be my last day of school, I pass the stage where the reaping will be held tomorrow. I can see all the crying parents and the scared kids as their names get drawn from the glass bowl. I have survived the reaping twice, but luck is never on your side in the reaping. For 12 boys and 12 girls, tomorrow will most probably be their last glimpse of district life. They are immediately sucked into the fake world of the Capitol. After that, they enter the arena. The arena that has killed over 1000 lives of children. The odds of surviving are 1 in 24. The saying is "may the odds ever be in your favor." That saying is only going to be true for one lucky survivor. I start to run the rest of the way home so I can spend y time with the ones I love. About half way there, I run into a boy who is about my age. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry. Are you ok?"
