In the novel The Hunger Games the Games are competition where 24 tributes two from each district are chosen to fight in an arena to the death and only one is allowed to leave making he or she the victor. The very first showing of the tributes is when their names are called in the reaping and they are to stand in front of their districts. In places such as District 12 The Hunger Games is a death sentence but, in DIstricts 1, 2, and 4 deciding who the tributes are can become complicated. Katniss explains to the reader that “ District 12 has not had a volunteer in decades and the protocol has become rusty. The rule is that once a tribute’s name has been pulled from the ball, another eligible boy, if a boys name has been read, or a girl if a girls name has been read, can step forward to take his or her place. In some districts, in which winning the reaping is such a great honor, people are eager to risk their lives, the volunteering is complicated.” (Collins 22).

There will be no blackouts tonight.” (Collins 124). Next is the more well known TV star, reality show host, and public face of the Capitol Caesar Flickerman. Caesar has been a part of the Games for about 40 years. Caesar is the average citizen of the Capitol very reliant on surgical enhancements to make him appear young and rejuvenated. Caesar role with the Hunger Games is to talk with the tributes similar to a reality TV show host and a contestant. He makes each tribute look appealing in their own way so that they get gifts from sponsors when in the arena. When in the arena every and anything could be a camera recording your movement so that all the viewers can see what their favorite or least favorite tribute is doing. At the end of the games the Victor would watch a “highlight reel” of all the things that led to them
