Archery and the Hunger Games

Takahiro Kumagai

Today, archery is becoming a popular sport in the world because the Hunger Games movie has influenced everyone. I think the archery was not so popular nor a famous sport before. The Hunger Games that has girl main character, Katniss. She is very good at using a bow and arrow and brave. Many people are being inspired by her.  There are some reasons that archery is becoming popular.

 First, many people are longing to be Katniss in the movie of the Hunger Games, Katniss is beautiful and charismatic girl. The arrow she shoots looks beautiful and powerful. For instance, many people have become to play archery since the movie came up. Hunting departments have signed up for archers and girls. Also archery is good for people who are not so good at sports because the archery is a kind of non athletic sport and independent sport, compared with track and field, football, basketball, or something like that.

 Second, the Olympic season is coming up. The hunger Games movie and Olympics are similar a little, for example, the mood is Romanic. Archery is also concluded in the Olympic contest so I think the archery will be focused by many more people than before. There will be a lot of effects on the economy.

 In conclusion, the Hunger Games movie especially Katniss inspires a lot of people. The movie was a kind of a sad or violent movie, but that is makeing good effect.
