"well, is she going to stay with him all day? have i done all this waiting for nothing? " he muttered. george willard, the ohio village boy, was fast growing into manhood and new thoughts had been coming into his mind. all that day, amid the jam of people at the fair, he had gone about feeling lonely. he was about to leave winesburg to go away to some city where he hoped to get work on a city newspaper and he felt grown up. the mood that had taken possession of him was a thing known to men and unknown to boys. he felt old and a little tired. memories awoke in him. to his mind his new sense of maturity set him apart, made of him a half-tragic figure. he wanted someone to understand the feeling that had taken possession of him after his mother's death. source: anderson, sherwood.

Going to have to say 19

the answer would most likely be 19. it mentions how he is the village boy but not yet a man, still in progression and just on the verge of manhood. thirty is absurd, being that you are not on the verge of man hood however already there. 11 is a boy but an abnormal age to be considered " going into man hood" and forty five is clearly absurd also.

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!
