Dead parents are extremely common in young adult literature‚ and although these characters are obviously absent throughout the story‚ they are still relevant and necessary to the plot because of the effect they have on their children. Because “dead parents are so much a function of middle-grade and teen fiction at this point‚” it is no surprise that Collins sets up the Everdeen family with one parent deceased (Sales). However‚ instead of viewing deceased parents as enhancing the plot of a YA novel
