Hunger Games - The Facts
The Hunger Games: Tributes
*spoiler alert*
*only first book here*
Ok, by now you know that we are obsessed with the Hunger Games. I believe that is the best book in the world, Amelia not so much, but she still loves it.
Quick Summary of the book before we get started:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps up to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before, and survival for her is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender, but to win she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
Ok, so you got the part about sending one boy and one girl to fight to the death, right? Those are called 'tributes'. Katniss is participating in the 74th annual Hunger Games. These are tributes that are participating with her:
