Question 3- the setting
The setting in this novel takes place in Panem. Panem is a country that consists of twelve districts and a Capitol. The Capitol has the richest of people living in it and it is the only city that doesn't have to work for anything. District one is the richest of the district and district twelve is the poorest. Each district has a job they do to collect something for the Capitol in order to live. For example district twelve is the mining district and gathers coal. Most of this book so far takes place in every Capitol and in the victors village in district twelve. Every district they go to it is always the same setup. They go on the stage in the center of the town and make their speeches. They then head to the town hall and have a dinner. Although each district is alike they have different scenery. From lakes to forests each one has a different back drop. Once they are done the tour they go to the victors village and the scenery is changed once again. District twelve is a very sad looking town. Everything is dirty from the coal miners and the district is very dark and cloudy. The district is very poor so everything is worn down and old. All the houses are falling apart and so are the people. It almost seems like a ghost town because there is no life in the people anymore. This setting would be described as grim. The only nice place in the district are the three houses in the victors village. This is kind of away from the others and is a bit nicer looking. The houses are brand new and they look so much different form the run down shacks the others are living in. So far the setting has changed a bit and I have a feeling it will continue to do so.
