Introduction

"A sure-fire conversation starter and an outstanding reference guide for book club and class discussions. Highly recommended."—The-Trades.com

Katniss Everdeen’s adventures may have come to an end, but her story continues to blaze in the hearts of millions worldwide.

In The Girl Who Was on Fire - Movie Edition, sixteen YA authors take you back to the world of the Hunger Games with moving, dark, and funny pieces on Katniss, the Games, Gale and Peeta, reality TV, survival, and more. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to fashion and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, Panem, and the series, really is.

? How does the way the Games affect the brain explain Haymitch’s drinking, Annie’s distraction, and Wiress’ speech problems?
? What does the rebellion have in common with the War on Terror?
? Why isn’t the answer to ?Peeta or Gale?” as interesting as the question itself?
? What should Panem have learned from the fates of other hedonistic societies throughout history?and what can we?

Discussion Questions

1. What new things do we learn in Catching Fire about the other districts in Panem from the Victory Tour and meeting other victors?

2. In Catching Fire, the Mockingjay becomes both a fashion trend and an underground symbol of rebellion. What are the implications of it being both?

3. Is Peeta and Katniss' "relationship" more real in Catching Fire than it was in The Hunger Games, or less real? What kind of affect does "faking it" have on their actual interactions?
