• Suzanne Collins, (born August 10, 1962), American author and screenwriter, best known
for the immensely popular Hunger Games series of young-adult novels.
• Collins was the youngest of four children. Because her father was a career officer in
the U.S. Air Force, the family moved frequently. And because of this she had a lot of
inspiration and ideas for stories.
• Brutal combat and its consequences were also central concerns of The Hunger
Games (2008), a dystopian tale in which two dozen adolescents are compelled by a
futuristic authoritarian state to fight to the death in a televised competition. Inspired
equally by reality television and Classical mythology, the novel, aimed at teenage
readers, attracted intense interest in the plight of its headstrong 16-year-old heroine,
Katniss Everdeen. As Collins extended the narrative with Catching Fire (2009)
and Mockingjay (2010), the series became a mainstay on best-seller lists, especially in
the United States.

The Hunger Games is a novel about Katniss Everdeen, who’s forced to fight
other children in an arena. The book takes place in Panem. In order to keep the
citizens under control, the government separates them into districts and
reinforces class differences. However, their strongest tool for discouraging
rebellion is the annual Hunger Games: a televised event where two tributes from
each district must fight each other to death.

Katniss lives in District 12, the poorest of all the districts. Her father died, and she
has been providing for her family by hunting illegally in the woods outside of their
district with her friend Gale. On reaping day, Prim is selected as a tribute to
represent District 12. Katniss volunteers to take her place and is allowed to be a
part of The Hunger Games alongside Peeta Mellark from District 12.

The rest of the novel follows Katniss and Peeta as they are trained for the games
and groomed to portray a certain image. The relationship between them
becomes more difficult when Peeta admits that he has feelings for her during an
interview, which makes it hard for both of them to focus on winning. Haymitch
suggests that they present themselves as friends who have each other’s backs in
order to get sponsorships from others.

The Games are held in a forest. Katniss is able to use her hunting skills and
knowledge of the woods to develop a strategy for survival. She sleeps in trees
and hunts game at night while avoiding the other tributes who have trained their
whole lives for these games. Each night, she watches as faces of the dead are
broadcast into the sky after every night.

In order to win the games, Katniss and Peeta spend days in a cave together
getting closer. In the process, she learns that he has an infection which will kill
him if not treated soon. The Gamemakers announce that there is going to be a
feast where tributes can get supplies from sponsors. She figures out how to trick
Peeta into thinking she’s staying behind while she goes and gets medicine for his
wound. At the feast, however, one of her opponents almost kills her but another
tribute saves her life because they heard about what Katniss did for Rue during
training time when no one else would help her.

The medicine that Katniss gave Peeta worked, and they were able to spend
more time together in the cave. However, when their water supply ran out, they
had to get ready for the Gamemakers’ next challenge. It turned out not to be
Cato but a group of wolf-like creatures that came from dead tributes’ bodies.
Katniss and Peeta escaped by climbing up higher ground while another tribute
fell and was killed by the creatures. After the last tribute fell, the gamemakers
announced that the rule that let them win if they were from the same district was
no more and that they had to kill each other, but Catniss picked up poisonous
blueberries and showed this blueberries to the gamemakers and told them that if
they wouldn’t let both of them out they both would kill themselves, gamemakers
didn’t like that but they still let out the winners. The fear of disobeying
gamemakers made catniss paranoid, for the good reason. That’s how the first
book ends.

Twelve months after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner
Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour, wherein they visit all the
districts, but before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss
defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peeta. With both
Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. He tells Katniss that
while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she
cares about will be in danger.

The novel opens with Katniss wandering through the ashes of her decimated district,
District 12. It’s been a month since Katniss was rescued from the Quarter Quell arena
after shooting an arrow at the force field, the same time her district was bombed by the
Capitol. During that month, Katniss lived safely underground in the highly regimented
District 13, where the heart of the revolution resides, powered by President Coin, whom
Katniss doesn’t completely trust. Katniss is trying to make sense of this new world
amidst a rebellion and is still quite unstable as she recovers from the physical and
emotional trauma she underwent in the arena.

Katniss’ coming to District 12 was her own idea. She wanted to see her home and
mourn for those who were killed. She feels great guilt for everyone who died. Gale her
best friend heroically led as many people as he could, including Katniss’ mother and
sister, Prim, to the Meadow and into safety. Now, the District 12 refugees have been
welcomed into District 13, whose population is waning because of a pox epidemic that
killed many of the district’s citizens and left a great number of them infertile. Gale waits
for Katniss overhead in a hoverplane. Katniss is still trying to make sense of her feelings
for Gale, and it is especially hard now as she worries constantly about Peeta, who was
captured by the Capitol, wondering if he is alive or dead.

The City Circle is filled with a roaring crowd, ready to see Snow die. When Katniss takes
her place and faces Snow with her bow and arrow, ready to execute him, she searches
his eyes for signs of remorse or anger or fear. All she sees is amusement. Then she
remembers their earlier agreement, that they promised not to lie to each other, and she
shoots Coin with her arrow instead, killing the new president of Panem .
As they head back to District 12, Plutarch describes how Snow was killed in the chaos that
followed Coin’s assassination. Commander Paylor has been voted in as president. Katniss learns
about her trial and how Dr. Aurelius, Katniss’ “head doctor,” came to her aid by stating that she
is highly disturbed and shell-shocked, so they are sending Katniss back to District 12 where
Haymitch will watch over her.
Katniss spends months alone in her house, neither showering nor changing her clothes.
She mourns for Prim and becomes an empty vessel of despair. Greasy Sae comes to
cook for Katniss. Katniss has lost all will to live. Spring arrives and Greasy Sae
encourages Katniss to go outside, maybe do some hunting. Peeta comes and plants
primroses around the house. She throws Snow’s rose in the fire, as well as her old
clothes. She rids her house of his smell. Slowly, she comes back to life. She starts a
book, collecting memories of all those who died. Peeta and Haymitch both make
contributions to the book. Eventually the rate of entries slows. Katniss hunts. Peeta
bakes. They grow back together, and Katniss knows this is right. She would have
chosen Peeta all along. While Gale possesses the same intense fire that Katniss has,
she needs someone who sees hope in the future, someone who makes her believe that
the world will be good again: Peeta.

• The most memorable moment was that when Katniss Everdeen shot the
field in the 75th hunger games arena with electric arrow causing the field to
destroy

Slide 7
Haymitch Abernathy was District 12's second and only living Hunger Games victor for 24
years, having won the Second Quarter Quell, before Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won
the 74th Hunger Games under his mentorship. He worked secretly in tandem with District
13 and other victors in order to incite the Second Rebellion, and was the main drive behind
the rebel plot during the 75th Hunger Games. He and Katniss are on the same "wavelength" for
most of the books, as he can "communicate" with Katniss by unconventional means, such as
the timely deliverance of a sponsor's gift. After the war is over, Haymitch is sent to District 12 to
look after Katniss, but for a long period after arriving he does not visit her, opting to stay in his
house and drink. It is indicated that his relationship with Katniss and Peeta is somewhat
repaired as time goes on.
