I wrote this book to describe events in the 1800s. I wanted to explore the time when settlers came to live west of the Mississippi River. You may know of people such as Daniel Boone, but there are other important figures. European explorers and conquistadors also played important roles in creating what became the United States. For example, have you head of Alexander Mackenzie or Francisco Vazquez de Coronado?

Explanation:

From this passage we can infer the author's purpose for writting this book.

First, he wants to explore the time when settlers came, which means he's attempting to explain the history of the region.

Then, he informs the readers about the role conquistadors had, in that way informing us that foreigners also settled in this region. These explorers are less known to the broad audience, so the author attempts to show and explain their contribution as well, beside the role some more famous people had.

HOPE IT HELPS

this would be in the imperative mood. it is a category of verb forms that are used to express orders,instructions,commands or requests.

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
