Story:
• The Capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games where
two "tributes" – a boy and a girl – are drafted from each of the twelve
districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the death.
• Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss
volunteers to take her place. Also selected is Peeta Mellark.
• They are then rushed to the Capitol, where they undergoes intense
training, before being thrust into the arena to fight to become the victor
of the 74th annual Hunger Games.
• Katniss teams up with Rue, a tiny girl from District 11 who reminds her
of her sister Prim.
• Rue is killed around this time by one of the Career Tributes. Katniss
honours her body by covering it in flowers.
