The Hunger Games By Katniss Everdeen

Social stratification is a concept used within sociology that explains the divisions and social inequalities of large groups of people within a particular society.

Boo was the one who saved us. I know Jem could feel me staring at him because after he lied to Atticus, he turned his face away from me. “I…” I began but Atticus quickly hushed me and left the room.
