"The Hunger Games" in 5 objects

I have chosen the five most important objects "The Hunger Games" is about:

• The first thing I have chosen is the hunger games. It must be a reason why this is also the title. The games are the main issue and the book builds on that. As in the book written this horrible idea is to remind the people from the districts what has happened years ago and that they will never try to overthrow the capitol and fight each other again. And I guess the capitol has really managed this. 

• Secondly I would mention the capitol. They invented and made the hunger games to show their power and oppression upon the people in the districts. Also they play with the lifes of people and animals like with bricks. This shows for example the many mutations in the story or even the tributes. 

• My third selection is the mockingjay. This is a symbol for district 11 and 12. Before the reaping has started Madge (a girl form district 12; her father is the mayor of district 12) gave Katniss a pin with a mockingjay. While the whole games Katniss carried this with her and it reminds her at home. Also Rue, Katniss ally, has to deal with this bird. She always sang with them and the whole district 11 has a relation to these birds.

• Fourthly I have taken the districts. Panem is divided into 13 districts. But the last on, district 13, the capitol has destroyed. So there are 12 ones left. The unfair thing about the districts is that they don't have the same chances. The higher the number of the district, the wors is their lifes. Also district 1 until 4 train their children to careers, therefore the other tributes don't have a big chance to survive the games.

• Last but not least I would mention the relationship between Katniss and Peeta. I think this is also important for the story because this is besides surviving the games the main issue the book is about. While I was reading I never was sure (like Katniss) if Peeta is also just acting the feelings like Katniss does. I think this is one aspect that makes the story very exciting.
