We enter through the eyes of Katniss Everdeen ( Jennifer Lawrence) from Panem’s most neglected district: District 12.
The Capitol, where the wealthy and well-to-do live, is supported by the country’s twelve impoverished and hungry districts filled with workers who are forced to provide the city with the goods and services they need to live long, lavish, and luxurious lives.
The need to place blame,” Collins said.In The Hunger Games, based on the books by Suzanne Collins, we’re thrust into the world of Panem, a dystopian land set in the distant future. The relief that the war has ended coupled with the bitterness toward the wartime enemy. The challenges of food shortages, damaged infrastructure, confusion over how to proceed in peacetime. People trying to rebuild, to live their daily lives in the midst of the rubble. “I thought a lot about the period after the Civil War here in the United States and also the post-World War II era in Europe. That same period would ultimately help outline how the bloodthirsty Hunger Games came to be. Though the Dark Days and rebellion are consistently referenced in the trilogy books and film adaptations, Collins hoped to give more discernment of the reconstruction period the Capitol endured 64 years prior throughout her book. Beyond that, Lucy Gray’s legacy is that she introduced entertainment to the Hunger Games.” It’s Gray’s musical talent that would eventually help in “bringing Snow down in the trilogy.” “Imagine his reaction when Katniss starts singing ‘Deep in the Meadow’ to Rue in the arena. While her story isn’t well-known, Lucy Gray lives on in a significant way through her music,” Collins explained. Katniss doesn’t seem to know anything about the person worth mentioning.
“In the first chapter of The Hunger Games, I make reference to a fourth District 12 victor. In an interview with David Levithan, vp, publisher and editorial director at Scholastic, Collins opened up about revisiting the world of Panem in her prequel and who this new girl from District 12 is. Instead, Collins introduces readers to District 12’s Lucy Gray, whose “legacy is that she introduced entertainment to the Hunger Games,” something that would continue to haunt Snow going into the trilogy. In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, readers learn that Everdeen is not the only notable tribute from District 12.
