The Hunger The Hunger GamesGames trilogy is
written by Suzanne Collins. She began
writing for children’s
television shows before writing her first novel. She is also the author of
The Underland The Underland ChroniclesChronicles.
She was inspired to write The The Hunger GamesHunger Games after she had been channel surfing between watching live coverage of the Iraq war and a reality TV show .
She was also influenced by
mythologymythology, especially the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
Roman gladiator Roman gladiator battlesbattles as entertainment for the masses contributed as well.
The SettingThe SettingThe story is set many, many years in
the futurefuture. The country (in which Katniss lives) is located in the former North America after natural disasters and the oceans swallowed up much of
the land.
This new country is called PanemPanem.

human misery, oppression, disease, and overcrowding. The government is usually
totalitariantotalitarian: one that exercises control over the
freedoms of others.
UtopiaUtopia is an imaginary place that is ideally perfect:
free from poverty and suffering.
As punishment for the
rebellion against the Capitol, the
district citizens are forced into
a life of poverty, poverty,
starvation,starvation, and hard hard laborlabor…
…while the Capitol citizens enjoy a life of luxuryluxury and

The mountain range provided natural protection
for the Capitol from the district rebels (who could
only fight on foot), making it impossible to overthrow the
repressive government.
The Capitol City is located
in the Rocky Rocky MountainsMountains.
Each district has its own industryindustry that it provides for the people who live in
the Capitol.
The 13th district13th district was “obliterated” 74 years ago when the district citizens tried to
rebel against the Capitol.

District 12’s industry is
coal coal productionproduction
- for the Capitol,
of course.
To further repress the district citizens, the Capitol required all all
children aged 12-18children aged 12-18 to enter their names into a lottery or reapingreaping to see who will compete in the annual Hunger GamesHunger Games competition.
Each year in the Hunger Hunger Games,Games,
twenty-fourtwenty-four district children enter the
arena to fight to the deathdeath.
Only oneone will survive and be crowned the
victorvictor.
The Capitol forces all citizens to watch the Hunger GamesHunger Games
competition on live TV. It was created by the Capitol to remind the district citizens of their past
wrongs.
Watching their children diedie is the district citizens’
repentancerepentance for the rebellion.
Every district child aged 12 to 18 MUSTMUST
enter their name into the
reaping.
If, however, they wanted food for themselves and their
families, they could sign up for tesseraetesserae
(which provided grain and oil for one person for a year).
The catch?The catch?
Their names would be entered into the reaping multiple multiple
timestimes for each family member who needs food.
Therefore, the poorest and hungriest children are most likely to have their names
called.
But not always…But not always…
And that is where the story begins…

The Gamemakers Second Rule
Change
Even though her first instinct is to kill
Peeta, Katniss realizes that the Capitol needs a
victor.
They have all these events (the victory tour) that will entertain the viewers until
the next Hunger Games.
What would they do without a victor?
They need entertainment to keep the viewers happy.
Because if the Capitol people aren’t happy and decide to
turn on the government, who is left to defend the Capitol?
No one.No one.
Once Katniss realizes this, she realizes that if she and Peeta both fake their own suicides, the Gamemakers (or government) will allow both to live because they
need to keep those Capitol citizens happy and on the
government’s side.
