Book: The Hunger Games

Summary

The Hunger Games is set in a dystopian world where the Capitol, a wealthy and powerful city, controls the 12 districts of Panem. Every year, the Capitol hosts the Hunger Games, a televised event where one boy and one girl from each district are chosen to fight to the death in an arena until only one victor remains. The story follows Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from District 12, who volunteers to take her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games. Along with her fellow tribute, Peeta Mellark, Katniss must navigate the deadly arena and outsmart the other tributes to survive.

Themes

• Power and Control: The Capitol's control over the districts and the Hunger Games serves as a commentary on the dangers of authoritarianism and the abuse of power.

• Survival: The Hunger Games is a fight for survival, and the characters must make difficult decisions to stay alive.

• Love and Sacrifice: Katniss and Peeta's relationship develops throughout the story, and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for each other highlights the power of love and selflessness.

Motifs

• Mockingjay: The mockingjay, a hybrid bird created by the Capitol, becomes a symbol of rebellion and hope for the districts.

• Fire: Fire is a recurring motif throughout the story, representing both destruction and rebirth.

• Appearance vs. Reality: The Capitol's obsession with appearances and image contrasts with the harsh reality of the Hunger Games and the poverty of the districts.

1 is the first and smallest positive integer.

It is an odd number.

One is the identity element in many mathematical operations, meaning that any number multiplied by one yields itself.

In Roman numerals, 1 is represented by the letter "I."

One is a prime number, meaning it is only divisible by 1 and itself.

There is only one way to write the number one in English: "one."
