![• The Hunger Games takes place in a nation known as Panem, established in North America after the
destruction of the continent's civilization by an unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of
the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control.
District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as
Appalachia.[4]
• As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed,
one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual
lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants (or "tributes") must
fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains.
The story is narrated by 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for
the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. The male tribute chosen
from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a former schoolmate of Katniss who once gave her bread from
his family's bakery when her family was starving.
• Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy,
victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and determine the strengths and
weaknesses of the other tributes. "Stylists" are employed to make each tribute look his or her best;
Katniss's stylist, Cinna, is the only person at the Capitol with whom she feels a degree of
understanding. The tributes are publicly displayed to the Capitol audience in an interview with
television host Caesar Flickerman, and have to attempt to appeal to the television audience in order
to obtain "sponsors". During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his longtime unrequited love for
Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain sponsors, who can be critical to survival because
of their ability to send gifts such as food, medicine, and tools to favored tributes during the Games.
• While nearly half the tributes are killed in the first day of the Games, Katniss relies on her well-
practiced hunting and survival skills to remain unharmed and concealed from the other tributes. A
few days into the games, Katniss develops an alliance with Rue, a 12-year-old girl from the
agricultural District 11 who reminds Katniss of her own sister.
