They would rather die together than lose one another to
win the 74th Hunger Games

Plot:
a)Exposition:
Every year the Capitol of Panem hosts an event
called the Hunger Games where two tributes a boy
and a girl are taken from each of the twelve
districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the
death. Only one person can win. This is to remind
the country not to rebel and for entertainment, of
course. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little
sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss

volunteers to take her place. Also selected is Peeta

Mellark, the baker's son, who maybe likes Katniss.
After the reaping, Katniss and Peeta are sent to the
Capitol to prepare for the Games. We meet their
support team, which is primarily Haymitch, Effie,
Cinna and Portia. During the opening ceremonies,
Cinna and Portia dress Katniss and Peeta in flames
and they draw much attention to themselves.
During training, Katniss reveals her archery skills to
the Gamemakers and scores an amazing 11 out of
12. Peeta gets a lower score and asks to be coached
separately. Peeta also announces in an interview
that he really likes Katniss.
b)Rising Action:
All 24 of the tributes are transported to the arena to
fight it out. Katniss is on her own at first, but then
she discovers that Peeta has teamed up with the
Career Tributes the strong kids from the rich
districts in Panem who actually want to go to the
Hunger Games. They eventually corner her in a
tree, but she drops a tracker jacker nest on them
and scores a bow and arrow in the process. After
this, Katniss pairs up with Rue, a little girl from
District 11 who reminds her of her sister Prim. The
two are able to take out the Career Tributes' food
supply, which totally infuriates their leader, Cato.
Also, Peeta doesn't appear to be teamed up with
them anymore. Where is he? Wounded?
c) Climax:
Unfortunately, Rue is killed around this time by one
of the Career Tributes. Katniss honors her body by
covering it in flowers. After Rue's death, the

announcer, wanting to bring back the romance

story between Peeta and Katniss, changes the rules
of the game: two people from a single district can
now win. Before she can stop herself, Katniss calls
out Peeta's name. Katniss searches for Peeta and
eventually finds him. He is wounded and
camouflaged in the muddy bank of a stream. She
nurses him back to health and realizes that by
playing up the romance angle, they can get gifts
from sponsors.
d)Falling Action:
Eventually, Katniss and Peeta must face off with
Cato, the only other surviving tribute, but before
that they are all pursued by wild dogs. Finally,
Katniss shoots Cato and he falls into the pack.
They've won, right? Wrong. An announcer comes
back on and says the rules have changed back: only
one winner allowed.
e)Denouement:
Katniss and Peeta can't kill each other, so they
make a show of taking poisonous berries in an act
of double suicide. Fortunately, the announcer comes
back on before they can kill themselves, and says
that they win.
