Three major conflicts in the story are ; what Katniss had to do to Peeta in the arena, when Prim was originally chosen for the hunger Games , and her defying the Capitol.
Prim was chosen to be part of of the Hunger Games. many people weren't very satisfied with this. But Katniss stepped up to the plate and took her sister's place in the games.This is a tough descion because by volunteering in the games it means certain death.But she does it to save her sister from death. This is what leads to the whole story , the event that triggers everything else in the story .
When Katniss defies the Capitol it is a major problem because not only did Katniss go against the rules of the Hunger Games but she humiliated the Capitol , which no one wants to do . Any ways the Capitol is watching her very , very closely when she returns from the arena because they want to see her mess up just once in order to completely destroy her.Katniss has to be very cautious and feels that even though she may have won the fighting to death , she has met her greatest challenge surviving the Capitol. In the end the Capitol lets her leave with Peeta to District 12 , but only with suspicions . The problem of her surviving the capitol so far has been resolved but I think it still hasn't been completely resolved.
The next problem was after Katniss had defied the Capitol by suriving the games along with Peeta. They had to go through may things in order to even leave the Capitol . In the end Peeta and Katniss used that the excuse that they were so madly in love with one another that they had to do this, and thus they left the Capitol, but soon Peeta finds out Katniss was only playing with Peeta because she needed to survive and when he asks her what is left between them she can't say because she does not know . This is one of the 2 conflicts that in my opinion have not been resolved.

Dear Katniss,
Dear Katniss,
Hi! Its been such a long time since I have seen your straight black hair , olive skin , and gray eyes . I miss your personality the way you always struggled to get the best for best for Prim and your mother . Although I know that you have lost all trust in your mother since she left , mentally. I'm sorry for that time . Yet ever since that time it seems to me that you have grown strong without the help of many people . I really admire your hunting skills and the way you can find a meaning behind things. Katniss you are the bravest person I know , you know how to treat a friend and I will not forget what you have gone through and I am sure you will not forget.
I remember in he arena when killed the boy that speared rue . It was the right thing to do , a life for a life and that's just what you did. Also when you were with peeta you know those moments weren't feigned , you felt safe and secure with him and I respect that . But at the moment when he found out what was reaelly happened , that all the things you 2 went through in the caves were faked , I cried becuase I knew you had done something extremely difficult, something that can't be explained with words.
All the things that you did in the arena and outside of it are the things that I would have done , because I'm like you stubborn, honest, brave , stragiht foward , and I can go on forever. On the thing about Peeta do the only thing that can be done ; tell him the truth.
Yours in Eternity ,

Setting
The settings in this story are few : District 12 , the Capitol, and the arena.
The first setting mentioned was District 12 where Katniss lives. She struggles everyday to survive in this brutal place . In the book the section that Katniss lives in District 12 is called the Seam because it is where the coal miners and poor of District 12 live . It is described as a rundown place , certainly not the fanciest there every was. Things looked depressing at times and very simple. District 12 also has a wood forest on its outskirts . It has many hills that surround it . The forest a;so has a river that runs along the forest and is filled with many fish and water plants . The forest is an escape for Katniss from the harsh life she lives in the Seam .
The Capitol is a beautiful place. It has tall buildings that reach for the sky . The building seem to glisten in rainbow of hues. There were cars that shined while they went down the road . The people were oddly dressed and seem alien with their hair. But even though the Capitol looked spectacular to Katniss , they also seemed artificial they seemed fake . They either seemed to dark or light or didn't fit in at all .In the Capitol they stay in a training tower that had 12 floors for each district . Underground it had a a sort of like gym and that had many centers were you could learn different skills to the arena. Katniss prefered all the food that was given : rice, beans , etc.
The last setting was the arena where the other 22 tributes found their deaths . The arena was a valley that had a large lake and many rivers that ran from it . The arena also had a forest that surrounded the lake . At the end of the forest of the was a field , such a field that it was shoulder high with different kinds of plants that were eatable . Anyway Katniss and Peeta hid in one of the caves that ran along a river that lead up to lake . The rivers had many caves that were good from hind although they were very noticeable. These are all the major settings in The Hunger Games.

Suzzane Collins
In 1991 Suzzanne Collins worked writing children's television scripts , she worked in Nickelodeon.suzzane also worked as the Head writer for the show Clifford's Puppy Days. Suzzanne has written many other books like Gregory and the Code Claw which is part of her 5 part series of the Underland Chronicles. She wrote this story thinking of the story Alice in Wonderland but in Ne York City where it is much more probable that you fall down a manhole than a rabbithole.
Speaking of inspiration when wirting the Hunger Games , Suzzane was channel surfing when she suddenly stopped to watch youths competing for who knows what . That's when she thought of the story for Katniss . Also she based the story on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur . The city of Athens had to send 14 young people to die at the hands of the horrible Minotaur. Katniss is like a futuristic Theseus because katniss takes her sister's place in the games , like theseus who volunteers to go fight the Minotaur.
Suzzanne currently lives in Conneticut with her family and 2 kittens.
