SettingMost of the story takes place in a deadly

manmade arena with multiple different terrains in a country called Panem built on a land once called North America.

CharactersKatniss Everdeen is the main character who

hunts illegally to help her family. She is clever for killing two tributes with Tracker Jackers. Peeta Mellark is the male tribute from District 12. He is dedicated because he risked his life to save Katniss’s. Gale is Katniss’s hunting partner who doesn’t do much in the book, but remains in her thoughts. Prim is her younger sister who is very thoughtful and also haunts her thoughts.

Plot: ConflictThe problem is that Katniss is forced into an

arena where twenty-four different tributes must fight to the death in a free-for-all for glory. She took her sisters place in these deadly games and she is also struggling with her emotions about Peeta.

Plot: ResolutionThe resolution is that Katniss and Peeta

outsmart the gamemakers and both win the games.

My OpinionI think it was a great book because it had lots

of action. I like how the book displays Katniss’s every thought and leaves the reader begging for the next book when they get to the ending.
