Archery

      Archery is so popular today in the U.S. because the Hunger Games is so popular in the U.S.  There are some other reasons.  First, young girls long for Katniss because she is cool, role model, female heroin, independent, beautiful, strong, powerful, and natural.  They think that want to be like Katniss.  Second, there is archery event in the Olympics.  Therefore, the Olympics shown all over the world.  Almost people like to watch the Olympics.  Third, archery is an independent sport.  You can play anytime and anywhere because archery plays only one person.  However, team sports can’t play alone.  They need a lot of people.  For example, basketball can’t play alone.  Finally, archery can play everyone.  For instant, father can communicate with daughter.  And more, if you aren’t good at playing sport, you can play archery since archery doesn’t need physical strength.  For example, if you play basketball, you might need physical strength.  For these four reasons, I think that archery is so popular today in the U.S.  In Japan, we can see the Hunger Games soon, so archery is also much popular.
