KEY ex 1
The Hunger Games is set in our world, but in a post-apocalyptic time. The Capitol is the cruel Government of the twelve districts of
Panem, which was once North America. As punishment for a revolution in the past, the Capitol created the Hunger Games. One boy and
one girl (aged twelve to eighteen) are chosen from each district to fight on live television until only one child remains.
Our main character is Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers in the place of her younger sister Primrose for District Twelve. The male tribute
for the district is Peeta Mellark, the son of a baker, who is in love with Katniss. During the Games, Katniss uses his love to her advantage,
so that the wealthy audience can send her food and medicine.
All the citizens from districts four to twelve hate the Capitol because of the oppression, poverty and violence that they suffer. Katniss
angers the Capitol during the Games when her new friend Rue from District Eleven is killed, and she shows compassion by laying flowers
on her body. Furthermore, at the end of the Games, only Peeta and Katniss remain, so each refuses to kill the other. Instead, they agree
to eat poisoned berries together so that there is no winner for the Capitol. In response, rather than being humiliated in front of the
districts, the Capitol allow the couple to win together. The other districts watching the Games have now witnessed an act of rebellion, and
they want more. Thus, a second revolution is about to be born
