Could you imagine America turning into an authoritarian-totalitarian dictatorship country where you are collected with people from the same social class and put into an area/state (not all areas are peaches and cream either), all while your kid(s), 18 and under, are getting drawn through a lottery and sent out in an arena with 23 other kids to fight till one victor is left standing?

Plot is the main events of a play, novel, movie, or similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence. In this novel, Katniss Everdeen and her colleague Peeta Mellark become targets when Katniss 's big act in the 74th Hunger Games (attempting for her and Peeta to commit suicide so there will be no victor; which goes against the rules of the Games) becomes hope for all the other districts and suddenly an uprising starts to emerge.

He does, and makes a small, gracious bow. And suddenly I am so afraid for him. What had he done? Something terribly dangerous. An act of rebellion in itself.
