The Hunger Games
May the odds be ever in your favor.
The rules of the Hunger Games are simple...
Dystopian Fiction
Dystopian novels often serve as a warning of what could potentially happen to our society if the government infringes upon the rights of the people they supposedly serve.
Katniss Everdeen
The girl on fire. Katniss Everdeen is the main character and the narrator of the Hunger Games trilogy. After her younger sister, Primrose, was chosen to participate in the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunteered to take her place as the female tribute from District 12. Her acts of defiance against the Capitol in the arena led the people of Panem to view her as the face of the rebellion.
The reaping
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
The star-crossed lovers from District 12
The new Romeo and Juliet. Will they survive their unfortunate fate?
