The Silver Chair

Pages 243

C. S. Lewis

          Plunging down from a cliff over the clouds, ready to meet death, but then they were caught by a gush of breath.  The Silver Chair has a series of adventures like all of the other Narnia books, only it's a totally different kind of adventure.  Eustace and Jill arrive in Narnia hoping to get away from their horrid school (as they have stated).  Having met Aslan, Jill has been given signs to overlook on their quest of finding the lost Prince, Rillian.  With a new companion named Puddlegum, they go on their task filled with Giants, Earthmen, and an Evil Queen/Witch from the "underworld."  Upon finding Prince Rillian, the team discovers that he had an enchantment that the Witch had put on him.  It would be horrifing to be a "slave" of the witch and be enchanted forever!

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

374 Pages

          Imagine having to be in a death arena where one may starve, drown, or simply be killed by other competitors in the arena. That's what it's like in The Hunger Games of Suzanne Collin's novel about a girl named Katniss who was caught in this situation of competing in The Hunger Games.  There are twelve districts with a boy and girl elected for competing in the games.  In the end, there is only one survivor of the twenty-four contestants in the huge arena.  Katniss goes through many obstacles including dehydration, death of a companion, and love.  Of all the drama and death in The Hunger Games, there is a big role of friendship (apart from love).  Even though The Hunger Games is entertaining with the limited supplies and death in the hunger games, I would not like to play a part in it.
