The Hunger Games Fever

Why is archery popular today in the US?  There are three reasons why the archery boom came.  First of all, The Hunger Games influenced girls who admire to be like the heroine in the movie, Katniss.  She is good at archery, and she hunts animals in the forest by herself.  She is brave, and therefore children of young ages want to be like Katniss and want to be cool.  Second, the archery boom is good for fathers of young children.  As many fathers are busy, fathers try to spend their holiday wisely to communicate with their children by doing archery with them, which is why the archery boom came.  Third, archery appeals to children who are too shy to play normal team sports, such as soccer, tennis, and baseball.  They do archery because archery is independent and cool.  This is another reason the archery boom came.  These three reasons are influenced by The Hunger Games.
