The Hunger Games

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the district in line by forcing them all to send a boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Begins on theday of the reaping in District 12, Katniss Everdeen, 16-year-old sets out to meet her friend Gale so they can do some hunting and gathering before the reaping that afternoon. As Katniss makes her way from her home to the Meadow and, finally, to the woods, where people of District 12, also nicknamed the Seam, are forbidden to go.In there she thinks about her sister Prim, who is 12 year-old, and hermother, both of whom have depended upon Katniss for survival ever since Katniss father died in a mine explosion.
The reaping is a nervous time because it determines which boy and girl, ages 12 to 18, will serve as the district's tributes in the Hunger Games, and those tributes are sent to an arena where they fight until only one tribute remains alive. The victor gets to return home, and thevictor's district is reward with food.
Prim's name is selected at the reaping. Katniss volunteers to take the place of her younger sister and becomes District 12's girl tribute. Peeta Mellark, the son of the baker, is selected as the other tribute.
Before she leaves, Katniss says goodbye to her mother and Prim; to Madge, the mayor's daughter who gives her the mocking jay pin; to Peeta's father thebaker; and to Gale,
Katniss and Peeta ride the train to the Capitol. They both get to know Effie, their escort, and Haymitch Abernathy, their drunk mentor and the alone survivor Hunger Games winner from their district who, after seeing that Katniss and Peeta have some fight in them, promises he will get sober enough to help them survive the Hunger Games.
After they arrive at the TrainingCenter, Katniss and Peeta meet their stylists. Katniss is pleasantly surprised when she meets Cinna. Katniss and Peeta are presented as a pair during the opening ceremonies. They race through the Capitol in a chariot holding hands, their outfits blazing in fake flames, earning Katniss her nickname "girl who was on fire."
After the ceremonies, the tributes begin their training. Haymitch coachesKatniss and Peeta together, per their request, and instructs them to keep their strengths a secret from the other tributes. After many years of hunting game in the woods, her progress with the bow and arrow are unrivaled. The Gamemakers reward her skills, with a score of 11 out of 12 during her private session with them. Peeta's biggest asset is his strength. Haymitch tells them to remain together atall times, too. They are to appear inseparable, which, as the training goes on.
Then, just before their interviews, Peeta asks Haymitch to coach him separately. This angers Katniss, who feels betrayed, but decides that she and Peeta aren't friends. At the interview, however, Peeta professes his love for Katniss, and the audience believes they are star-crossed lovers, trapped in an arena where theirlove cannot survive. Katniss is furious with Peeta for making her look weak in front of the audience.
The 74th Hunger Games begin with the tributes rising up from below ground. They stand in a circle around the metal Cornucopia, a giant golden horn that holds supplies and weapons. Haymitch has instructed Katniss not to run toward the Cornucopia, but to run as far away as she can and find waterimmediately. Upon seeing a bow and quiver of arrows, however, Katniss questions Haymitch's advice and she get ready to retrieve them from the Cornucopia, but as she does so, she sees Peeta shaking his head at her, which distracts her long enough to make her miss the opening gong that releases the tributes. She runs in just far enough to retrieve a single backpack and then takes off into the...
