• Government Control
- In Panem, the Capitol resists the permissions and abilities of its citizens.
- They go as far as forcing citizens to kill each other in the Hunger Games.
- The Government control is so excessive that it causes citizens to resent centralised power.
• Effects of the war
- Panem came together as a country as a result of a series of natural disasters that destroyed much of the
landmass it called, home.
- After some time, the districts rose up against the capitol, unsuccessfully.
- The districts were then punished for the rebellion by, the Hunger Games.
- The districts were also punished for the war by increased restriction and observation.
• Individualism
- The Hunger Games requires many types of individuals to leave behind their identities and evolve into a
relentess murderer in order to survive.

Fox Face, role in Cato’s death.)

• Survival
- The ability and desire to survive is first and foremost in the Hunger Games.

those who survive the fight to stay alive in the pressure and presence of the Capitol.
