What if YOU were in the Hunger Games?
What would you bring to the arena?
One of my favourite television shows when I was a teen was Survivor, a program which revolutionized reality television and began the trend of giving average joes staring roles in prime time television. After over 20 seasons now, I'm a tiny bit embarassed to admit that I still tune in every week to see the drama unfold when ordinary people are thrust into a situation where they must harness their available resources to survive, while using their minds to propel them to the top of a game designed to have a sole victor.
To keep it intriguing, the show has re-invented itself over the years with both minor and radical alterations. In the very beginning contestants were permitted to bring one luxury item from home. Items were selected for a variety of reasons including personal comfort, sentimentality and of course, survival.
While Survivor is probably not as 'cool' as it once was, The Hunger Games which is based on a largely similar concept is one of the most popular books in recent memory (oh ya, and the movie did pretty good too…). In the Hunger Games tributes from various districts are pitted against each other in a ferocious free for all with only one winner. Like Survivor contestants, they must withstand the elements of nature and find a way to survive and thrive in the wilderness to ensure they remain in the game.
So, I ask you all…imagine YOU were thrust into the Hunger Games and YOU could bring just one item to help you survive the forces of nature and/or the competition….what would you choose to bring and why?

I would bring an emergency survival kit, its a kit so it is one item as a whole. I would bring this because this kit, which I will get from my home, or a store, this kit obviously has food, water, medical supplies, and obviously emergency items. All this stuff is in one kit so could be considered as one item.
But, also, aside from my first choice, I could bring a phone, and talk to my family tell them news, and they could give me tips on survival, so I get reminders every time.
As a result I prefer the emergency kit.
My courage.
LOL
I would bring a turtle costume to the Hunger Games! Why? Cause Turtle’s rock. Their shells are also hard like rocks too! No one’s going to mess with a turtle, not even a Career tribute! Why? Cause turtle’s are cool. They take cool to a whole new level. A level, which in France they call ‘froid’. Yes it’s that cool. Also no one will suspect it is me in the the turtle costume. Why? Cause turtles aren’t suspicious things! Turtle’s are awesome things! And when I don’t feel like being a turtle. I’ll just dwell in my shell. And finally, who is going to mess with a 5 foot turtle? That’s right, no one! Not even Haymitch or Finnick or Eiffie! Turtle’s are boss. They have class. Turtle’s are just amazing. Turtles are turles!
I’d bring alcohol, the spray kind. Its flammable and kills bacteria.
