The houses aren't like the neighborhoods we have now also that’s where coal miners live and work. There is also the Hob, the black market. District 12 is surrounded by a sometimes-electrified fence from the woodlands. The Capitol is described as a shinny of wealth city. The Capitol is located where the Rockies used to be.

But then he died in a mine accident. They gave her mom sometime to find work, but she was too depressed.

I thought this was the greatest book ever! It pretty much has Action, adventure, and romance with Peeta and Katniss <3. At first it makes you question their personalities. But you Start to find out. I love how, at the beginning katniss is Sure she doesn’t like Peeta,but her opinion about him Changes.In all its great!
