Haymitch Abernathy — Haymitch is Katniss' and Peeta's mentor. He is drunk at almost any given time, with a glass in one hand and a knife in the other. He drinks to forget the memories of the 50th Hunger Games, which he was crowned victor of. He won during the second Quarter Quell, when double the tributes were required to participate in this deadly game. He promised he would sober up long enough for Katniss and Peeta to play the Games and help them. He sends Katniss sponsor gifts throughout the Games to help her survive. Katniss believes that his gifts always seem to have good timing and there might be some kind of connection between them. Critical reception [ edit ] A cosplayer dressed as Katniss Everdeen during the Montreal Comiccon, July 2015 American University in Washington D.C. offered a class 2014-2016 that examined the themes in The Hunger Games world titled “The Hunger Games: Class, Politics, and Marketing”. The class was offered for the school's American Studies Program and covered topics of oppression, feminism, food deserts, rebellion, the publishing industry, and social media marketing. The course's professor, Stef Woods, believes that using the fictional world of Panem to discuss real word problems helps students better understand the issues in American society. [64] [65] See also The Hunger Games is a series of young adult dystopian novels written by American author Suzanne Collins.

Sejanus Plinth — The mentor for the District 2 male tribute. He is from District 2 himself and still sympathizes with those in the Districts. His father, Strabo Plinth, is a powerful war profiteer who bought his family a new life in the Capitol, but struggles against his son's rebellious ways. Collins also cites as a classical inspiration the Roman gladiator games. She feels three key elements create a good game: an all powerful and ruthless government, people forced to fight to the death, and the game's role as a source of popular entertainment. [13] Beetee Latier — The male tribute from District 3. He is very skilled with a wire, which planned to use to blow up the arena's forcefield, but Katniss shoots an arrow into it instead, and joins Katniss at the end on the way to District 13.Peeta confesses his longtime secret love for Katniss in a televised interview prior to the Games. This revelation stuns Katniss, who usually does not allow herself to think of romantic attraction due to her traumatic childhood and her fear of losing future children to the Hunger Games. However, she believes that Peeta is only feigning love for her as a tactic for the Games. Oh!" I say. "She was my mother's friend." The camera finds her in the crowd, clinging to two other girls. All blond. All definitely merchants' kids. Alma Coin — President of District 13. She was believed to have authorized the bombing of the Capitol's children, which killed Prim, Katniss' sister. Katniss assassinates her with an arrow during Snow's execution because she realizes Coin will be a horrible dictator as well. President Coin has gray hair which Katniss thinks may be a wig because it's uniform and there isn't a hair out of place. After all, Mayor Undersee is himself a part of the enigmatic President Snow and the Capitol’s oppressive regime, though a small part of it at that. Madge and her father enjoy privileges unknown to Katniss and her family, as well as the larger populous of District 12. In The Hunger Games film adaptation, one of these poorer District 12 citizens is seen giving Katniss her emblematic pin in lieu of Madge. Why make this change? Why would Suzanne Collins, author of the book series, opt for Madge to be the giver of this gift instead? I had a friend who went that year," says my mother quietly. "Maysilee Donner. Her parents owned the sweetshop. They gave me her songbird after. A canary."

Hunger Games' News: Chloe Moretz Would 'Absolutely Die' To Play Katniss". MTV.com. October 4, 2010 . Retrieved July 14, 2012. A prequel novel, titled The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, about the early days of the Hunger Games, featuring a young Coriolanus Snow as the protagonist, was released on May 19, 2020. [8] The prequel has been sold by Stimola Literary Studio into 35 territories to date. [9] SettingKatniss and the other tributes are, in their time before participating in their Hunger Games, compelled to compete for the hearts of sponsors who donate money that can be used to buy vital supplies for them when they are in the arena such as medicine, matches, food, and water. The concept of how the audiences carry nearly as much force as actual characters is based on how, in reality television and in the Roman games, the audience can both "respond with great enthusiasm or play a role in your elimination," as Collins said. [3] Name [ edit ] As Maysilee Donner bravely disengages herself and heads for the stage, I catch a glimpse of my mother at my age, and no one has exaggerated her beauty. Holding her hand and weeping is another girl who looks just like Maysilee. But a lot like someone else I know, too. Katniss' first name comes from the arrowhead plant, [4] which was known as katniss in the language of the Lenape. [5] The root of this plant can be eaten, as Katniss does in the book. Her father once said: "As long as you can find yourself, you'll never starve."
