SETTING
It takes place in a nation called Panem established in North America. Most of the book takes place in district 13. The nation of Panem is split into 13 districts. District 13 is completely underground and hidden from other civilizations. It takes place in the future of our society.

Every year they have something called “The Hunger Games” which is where one person from each District in Panem is chosen to fight to the death as a form of entertainment.

Katniss Everden is a girl from District 12 who survived the games with a boy from the same district, Petta. They survived by being willing to both die instead of having one victor. The Capitol did not like this because it was a sign of rebellion which may cause the districts to rebel. So, in order to get rid of them they attempt to kill them by putting them in another Hunger Games which does not work because Katniss is taken to be kept safe when there is a disturbance in the game.

When Peeta was taken by Snow, it was all Katniss could think about. Even when Peeta tried to kill her she still loved him and cared for him, not giving up on him. In the end their love is shown through their simple life and how they help each other get through the difficulties they face.
PERSONAL RELEVANCE
I personally thought that the theme of the book was strong and very moving. It was very emotional for me to even read the book because it felt so real. I think that the author did a great job and that it had a strong storyline and plot and ended very well. It was so good that I wish it had not ended.
