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.

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.
