Hunger Games and Battle strategies

The Hunger Games project Avery 12/6/11
     The Hunger Games is this series of tests where everyone has to survive in the wild and face one another. In the games there are twelve districts which each contribute two kids ages twelve-eighteen to fight. During the games people make an alliance to try and live which almost never works out because they either kill each other or they get killed. One alliance is Katniss and Rue, Katniss is a good hunter, also the main character, and is from district twelve. Rue is a little girl that is from district eleven and the smallest kid in the games. In the games the two tributes from district twelve have a little "love story" in the games. At the   end of the games the tributes that won were Peeta and Katniss.

     Some good advantages while using a bow and arrow are the cheapness of how much it costs. ("Medieval Bow and Arrow"). The reason why is because it is hard to get thing where Katniss lives so it is good to have cheap things. Some great hunting tactics are go up as high in a tree as you can then go a little higher. ("Deer Hunting Strategies and Tactics"). Some other good tactics are using camouflage. The cool thing about it is if you can get enough good cover in it you can pretty much be invisible even to the most trained eye. ("Battle Strategies and Tactics"). Amazing sniper tricks that I found are like do not create a base camp because you need to pop up out of no where. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper"). Some other great tactics that I found are, to lie like a stone and merely observe aim to be invisible even to the trained eye. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper.") My last tactic is to work closely to other people because they can be good decoys and provide intelligence about the enemy. ("10 Sniper Tactics from the Red Sniper.")

Katniss
     Some ways that I see that they are connected are that working with others as a decoy reminds me of when Rue was distracting the careers, that was like her being a decoy and helping Katniss destroy the food. Another similarity that I have is when Katniss found Peeta in the woods she could not see him because he was very well covered in camouflage. A good thing that I found that the Hunger Games and battle strategies have in common is that when you are hunting in a tree you go up as high as you can then go a little higher, this is like the time Katniss and Rue hid in trees from the careers. My last connection that I am going to make is that you don't create a base camp because you need to pop up from no where in the Hunger Games, which is like when Katniss and Rue kept moving and hiding in the woods and popped up and killed the enemies.
