The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is a trilogy of science fiction and adventure novels for young people, written by Suzanne Collins. The trilogy is composed of the works The Hunger Games, Catching fire and Mockingjay.

History:

It takes place in an unidentified future period of time after the destruction of the current countries of North America, in a country known as "Panem". Panem is formed by a rich Capitol, located in what were the Rocky Mountains, and twelve (previously thirteen) districts that surround it, the poorest districts, that cater to the needs of the Capitol, and the richest, which are the most favored. As punishment for a rebellion against the latter, in which Capitolio defeated the first twelve districts and destroyed the thirteenth, each year a boy and a girl from each of the twelve remaining districts, between twelve and eighteen years, are selected by lottery and forced to participate in the "Hunger Games". The games are a televised event where the participants, called "tributes", must fight to the death in an outdoor stadium called "La Arena" until there is only one winner left. The winning tribute and its corresponding district, will receive great riches and food respectively.

Epilogue:

In the epilogue at the end of Mockingjay talks about the children of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, they went through a process of doubt years before, to see if their parents wanted to have them or not, but Peeta manages to convince Katniss. Years later it was revealed that their names are Rye and Willow. It is related that the sands where the Hunger Games took place had been destroyed, the victims of these had been remembered by means of a monument. However, the games were taught in schools and Willow knew that her parents had been part of them. Katniss is in doubt about whether to talk about the games or not. In the end, the trilogy closes with a phrase that moved millions of people, which is: "Even so, I know there are much worse games."
