Katniss hunts with a guy named Gale. They are friends but they both have feelings more than just a friendship for each other. She lives in District twelve. There are districts because North America didn’t like President Snow’s rules. The country would fight him and bicker. So he called North America Panem. He divided

People from the districts often died of starvation while
