  7. Exposition Every year, there is a “reaping” where names are drawn to go fight to the death in an arena with 23 other youth. These “hunger game” is broadcasted on live T.V. throughout the 12 districts that make up Panem. Because of the capitols' ways, life is far from ideal. Many can’t afford food, lose family members in work accidents, and work long hours and young ages to earn a small wage for their family.

  8. Rising Action When her young vulnerable sister, Primrose, is chosen Katniss quickly volunteers, eager to take her place knowing it could very well be her death sentence. Katniss begins intense training. Her stylist, Cinna, shocks the capitol when he introduces her in flames as opposed to the typical black coal looking outfits. She quickly becomes know as the girl on fire. But when the games start, the capitol uses this against Katniss and it almost takes her out of the game.

  9. Climax When it comes down to the last few contestants, the capitol changes the rules so they can team up with the member from their district if they are still living. Katniss quickly finds Petta and they scrape by and win. The capitol is upset they out smarted them and changes the rules back to one person. They however, again outsmart the capitol.

  10. Falling Action Katniss and Petta return home triumphantly and move into their new million dollar homes as a reward. They struggle with the things they saw and faced while in the arena. Their name is taken out of the drawing as a reward , and provided the funds to support themselves and their family who was permitted to move in with them.
