1 Book By: Suzanne Colins Presentation By: Logan Scott The Hunger Games

2 S etting The Hunger Games takes place in a dystopian, future America. The wealthy live in a city called the capitol. The capitol rules twelve other small civilizations called “Districts”. Each one specially produces a specific product or service. These districts are poor and many struggle to survive. The book specifically takes place in District 12, a coal producing district, where a 16-year old girl named Katniss Everdeen lives. The district is the poorest of all of the nation.

3 The Hunger Games Every year, in this society the capitol picks two children from each district to battle each other in a brutal death match. Every child’s name is added to a raffle once per year from ages 12 to 18. To make things even more interesting, children can place there names in again to receive a meager years supply of bread and oil. The bread itself bakes down into a mushy grain, therefore it is not very good. S

4 The Arena This is where the 24 children (also called “Tributes”) face-off. They are thrown into a wilderness area that can range anywhere from a burning desert, to a glacier. There are supplies in the area where all 24 tributes are lifted into the arena. There is almost always a bloody battle for supplies. Anything you can find or do to survive is completely legal. During the game, a specific group of capitol residents called gamemakers, are allowed to interfere with the tributes. They can offer supplies that are delivered via airdrop and cause battles, or cause nasty disasters, some of which are natural, some are not. S

This foreshadows the fact that they will be back together soon

15 Plot

16 P Rising Action Katniss hunts in the woods with Gale Katniss and family attend the reaping Prim gets pick, Katniss volunteers for her Peeta’s love for Katniss is revealed Katniss fights mixed feelings about Peeta due to the fact that she might have to kill him The hunger games begin Picture from: TheHungerGamesWiki.comTheHungerGamesWiki.com

17 P Climax Katniss lives by herself during the games Gets caught by group of enemies while in a tree. Katniss drops a hornets nest on them Katniss allies with Rue Rue is killed Katniss is told that two tributes can survive if they are from the same district Katniss finds Peeta, badly wounded Katniss diagnoses him with blood poisoning

18 P Climax The gamemakers offer “The one thing that all the tributes need” Katniss uses medicine, obtained from a sponser, to put Peeta to sleep and retrieve medicine Katniss fights for the medicine and obtains it Katniss and a healthier Peeta go hunting A pack of wild dogs chases them pack to the starting area, there they find the 3 rd and final remaining tribute. He is killed. The gamemakers admit that two tributes cannot win the games

19 P Resolution Katniss and Peeta attempt a double suicide by eating poisonous plants At the last minute, the gamemakers announce that they can both win The capitol shows anger towards Katniss for defying them. Peeta and Katniss return home Falling Action

20 Conflcit

21 C Man Vs. SocietyMan Vs. Nature This type of conflict occurs in multiple ways throughout the book. The first example is Katniss’ attempt to survive the Hunger Games while the capitol attempts to kill her due to her defiance. This occurs during the Hunger Games as Katniss attempts to survive the animal attacks and harsh weather in the arena.

22 Theme and Resoulution

23 T&R ThemeResolution I think the theme in this book is “In the face of adversity, do what you know is right” I think this because of what Peeta said, that he wanted to die as himself and not a piece in their games, and because Katniss defies the captiol to save Peeta The outcome of this booked is sort of a mixed bag. On one hand Katniss returns home famous and rich, away from the struggles of the poor, but a new conflict starts as she attempts to save herself from the capitol.
