population. District 12 is a destroyed city, there are run down, small house, and the people don’t get a lot of food. This is where the main character, Katniss Everdeen lives. Where she lives there is luscious green grass, and flowers blossoming. Katniss has a beautiful home with hot water, electricity, and air conditioning. The setting next moves throughout the districts on Peeta and Katniss’ victory tour, the most important district they go to is district 11. District 11 is much bigger than district 12, there is a wide open field with crops stretching for miles. Katniss and Peeta are amazed about how far it stretches. The setting is then moved to the arena of the hunger games, at the start, the tributes are surrounded by a big ocean. This stretches for a while. This banked by a jungle, there are tall trees but no water, this is a problem for the tributes.

MAIN CHARACTER MAIN CHARACTER There are a couple of climax’s in Catching Fire. The first is the announcement of the quarter quell, where president snow announced the Katniss and Peeta are going back into the hunger games. This changed the story drastically. Katniss was so freighted that she freaked out, she was having nightmares ever since she came home from the first hunger games and she thought it was over. This sent the story into another gear, after this, the book e other was much more exciting. Peeta and Katniss had to train, study their opponents, and get ready for the games. The next climax is the opening of the games. The blood battle in the start of the hunger games, Katniss and Peeta teamed up with some of the other participants. Katniss is a killing machine, she kills three people and she doesn’t want to. The main climax in the story is the giant explosion caused by Beetees trap.

is miserable under the capitol, but they will hunt her down if she tries to run.
