My name is Sam and I am from district 12, and we are coalminers. I live with my dad and my younger brother in a small house in the woods. I also have two pigs and one goat. The pigs are for food and the goat is for milk and cheese. I trade cheese for food so my family will survive, but I also have a lizard named Tyrone.
We want freedom. But the capital forces us to compete in the Hunger games. This year I have a bad feeling that I am going to get picked, and I am really scared. My family and I are planning to escape the country and maybe move to Australia and start a brand-new life. But we don’t have a plan for how or when we can move. If the capital finds out that we are escaping, they are sending us to prison or they kill us.
Me and my dad are planning to escape tonight, but we have to wait until it gets dark. Me and my dad are discussing a plan about the escape, but then all of a sudden, my brother Mojo heard that we are planning to move. He got really angry and sad at the same time, but he wanted to join us. But he can't, he is to Young.
Later that night the Capital stormed in my house and arrested my dad, because someone snitched to the Capital about our plan. I and my brother got send to an orphanage.
