I have made a connection from this book to the world. This reminds me of problems with wealth. In the book it talks about starving and some people relying on others to live. It also connects to rebellion. This is because Katniss's journey is a symbol of rebellion with the "Mockingjay" as a symbol of people rebelling and protesting.

This fictional place takes place in Panem. Its a dystopian futuristic place also it has the capitol. The district around it (like district twelve), but districts like 1 or 2 are closer to the capitol. Here, the tributes play the hunger games and fight to survive. There is enclosed arenas to play the games in. At the beggining, all the players are together and get chosen for the games with papers in a bowl.

Yes. In the book I have read where some of these mental images popped up. On page 9, Katniss says, "The day is glorious with a blue sky and soft breeze. The food's wonderful, with the cheese seeping into the warm bread and the berries bursting in our mouths." This made me visualize how the foods tasted and how the environment looked and felt. These moments make it feel real, it was a happy scene.

The character in the book Katniss, feels a good connection with Gabe. On page 291 where she says "I gingerly lift my hand to my head and find it bandaged..Peeta holds a bottle to my lips and I drink thirstily. This shows that they care for each other. Another reason is Katniss feels protective at the beginning of the book. On page 27 she says "I could never let that happen to Prim..The community would crush her."

Katniss Everdeen is a dynamic character. She is a dynamic character because in the book she says, "Everyone is my enemy. Except Gale. My hunting partner, the person who has my back. There's nothing to do but move forward, killing whoever comes into our path. This shows about her consistent survival instinct and her distrust of other people. This is what makes Katniss Everdeen a dynamic character.

The book I'm reading takes place where the main character named Katniss deals with the character vs. society conflict. I found this evidence on page 18 where it says, "In punishment for the uprising, each of the twelve districts must provide one girl and boy... The twenty four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor area that could hold through anything. This proves that the 24 tributes fight each other.

From what I read so far, Gale and Katniss are hunters and they are hunting for food. I predict that they are going to the reaping. I think they are going to the reaping because on page 1 it says "Seeking Prim's warmth... She must have had bad dreams... of course, she did. This is the day of the reaping. I think they are going to the reaping because it was mentioned pretty early in the book so it must be important.
