The Two important events
The first important event is the reaping. This event entitles the rest of the novel because now
it is Katniss who will take part in the Hunger games instead of her younger sister Primrose. If
Primrose was the one who would be a tribute, the book would be completely different.
Besides, Peeta is the other chosen one. Because she owes her life to him, there is an
immediate conflict because she is too grateful to kill him. The other important event is the
victory. During the game the game maker Seneca Crane decides that not only one tribute
can win. There can be two winners, if they are from the same district. This was all set up by
Haymitch, their mentor. The moment they have killed Cato, the last survivor, the rules
change. Suddenly only one tribute can win. Katniss is so angry she decides to swallow the
red poisonous berries to kill themselves, and at that moment Seneca screams: Stop! The
winners are Peeta and Katniss. Katniss doesn’t know that with this action, she rebels against
the Capito
The setting
The story is set in the United States. This is getting told in the book 1 time. When they are
trying to explain where the games are and how the players are chosen. This is at the start of
the book so you know it is in the US. This is very nice because I kinda have an imagination
of what it looks like. The story takes place in an unspecified future time. But you know it's
from the future when you see the capital! This looks just like very tall and high tech buildings
with super fast magnetic trains.
After North America collapsed the government created the panem. This is where the games
are, there are 12 regions with every region 2 players that can participate in the hunger
games. These are called the two tributes ‘’We will choose the first tributes’’ one boy and one
girl.
When the game starts it's a forest with super long and mossy trees everywhere.
The setting It is really important for the book because there is a clear division between the
rich districts and the poor ones.
