      Suzanne Collins’

      The Hunger Games – Book One

      By BookCaps Study Guides

      Historical Context

      Suzanne Collins was born in Connecticut in 1962. In the 1990’s, Collins wrote for some children’s television shows on the Nickelodeon network. While working on a kids’ show called Generation O! she met writer James Proimos who inspired her to begin writing children’s novels. Her first novel, Gregor the Overlander was the first in a series of critically acclaimed books known as the Underland Chronicles and was inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The Underland Chronicles were published between 2003 and 2007 and earned Collins notoriety in the literary world.

      In 2008 The Hunger Games was published as the first book in a trilogy that was followed up by Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010); the trilogy has been wildly successful.

      Collins’ idea for the books of the Hunger Games series came from watching reality television, reading war coverage, and influencing from the times of gladiator battles. The world of Panem, where the novels take place, is a dystopian society in the future where all of the districts in which people are dictated by the President who lives in the Capitol; a place far different from the poor districts which exist solely to provide goods for those who live in the Capitol. Every year the Capitol takes two teenagers from each district as tributes to compete in the Hunger Games, a gladiator-type reality show where only one tribute comes back alive. Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of the series, begins a battle against the Capitol that propels itself to a catastrophic degree in an effort to live a life of freedom.

      Plot

      Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen year old girl who lives in District 12, the coal mining district, of Panem.Katniss and her best friend, Gale Hawthorne, are skilled hunters, which comes in handy in District 12, because, although hunting is illegal, it is the only way to ensure that their families will eat.

      The Districts are controlled by the Capitol and each year the Capitol hosts a drawing in each district, calling the Reaping, that will choose two teenagers, one male and one female, to participate in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are basically a reality television show which is a fight to the death in an arena that is full of surprises, and there will only be one winner. When Katniss’ younger sister, Prim, is chosen Katniss steps in without hesitation to take her place. Katniss and the male tribute from 12, Peeta Mellark, head to the Capitol to prepare for the Games.

      Katniss and Peeta act as a team and convince the entire world they are in love with one another as a strategy for getting through the games, and earning as many sponsors as possible to send them gifts while in the arena; though for Peeta, it is not an act, he
