The Hunger Games is a futuristic film that shows how society accepts diverse norms which are in no way fair or moral.

On to the actual Games themselves. Twenty-four tributes (strangers at that), two from each district, released onto a battlefield for a televised fight to the death for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Capitol. These Games went on for weeks, with several tributes dying each day. From the beginning alliances were made to kill off the remaining participants and have the rest of the Games to themselves, and sadly Katniss was one of the targets. Yet she was determined to stay alive and to keep Peeta alive, even though he aligned himself with the majority group for a short while. As the Games progressed, even before the Games began, a story developed between Katniss and Peeta: a love story. A love story that spread across Panem like wildfire, so much that the two were dubbed “star-crossed lovers.” This had everyone rooting for Katniss and Peeta, for one of them to be the winner of the Hunger Games. Whether it was real or fake for Katniss, she was not sure at the time; she just wanted to make it out alive and take Peeta with her.

The Hunger Games takes place in the future where the nation is divided into 12 districts. Every year two young individuals are chosen from each distract to fight in the hunger games which was made up because many years ago the districts had a rebellion against the capital and lost so they set up the hunger games to show that they have control. The tributes are chosen by a raffle, one boy and one girl. This year Peeta, a baker’s son and 16 years old Katniss Everdeen’s younger sister, Prim, are both chosen. The games are set up so everyone in each district can watch all the tributes fight to their deaths. For the first time ever seen, Katniss volunteers to take Prim’s place in the games.

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive.

There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

The Gamemakers make a rule change and say that two tributes from the same district can win together so Katniss finds Peeta and helps him because he has been injured. After they are the only two people left the Gamemakers change the rule back to force Katniss and Peeta to fight each other, rather than fight, Katniss takes some poisonous berries, called Nightlock, she found in the arena and gives half of

The Hunger Games are literally a fight to the death in which each of the 12 districts sends too tributes, one male and one female. Being entered into the Games means either fortune and fame or unavoidable death. Katniss Everdeen volunteered for her little sister Prim when she got chosen.
