The Hunger Games: An Overview

In a nutshell, this story follows a young woman by the name of Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a futuristic dystopia. Her home is District 12-- the poorest of the twelve districts that are under the rule of the Capitol. Katniss volunteers to save her younger sister from entering The Hunger Games-- a fight to the death that includes a male and female from each district. These Games serve a reminder of who is in charge-- the Capitol. Katniss and her "team member," Peeta Mellark, are sent to the Capitol to undergo training and preparation for the Games. After a few days, they are set off into an arena with the other 22 Tributes. After some time, Katniss and Peeta find each other in the arena and play up a "star-crossed lovers" act in order to survive-- which they both do, despite the general rule that only one victor may be crowned.
