The Hunger Game ハンガーゲーム （２）

ハンガー・ゲーム

PLOT

The post-apocalyptic nation of Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve poorer districts. As punishment for a past rebellion, each district must provide a boy and a girl ("tributes") between the ages of 12 and 18 selected by lottery (the "Reaping") for the annual Hunger Games. The tributes must fight to the death in an arena, with the sole survivor rewarded with fame and wealth. This year's arena is a vast wilderness area.

In District 12, 12-year-old Primrose Everdeen is chosen in her first Reaping. Katniss, her older sister, volunteers to take her place. Peeta Mellark, a baker's son who once gave Katniss bread despite the abuse he would receive for it when her family was starving, is the other district tribute.


Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, accompanied by their frequently drunk mentor and past victor, Haymitch Abernathy. He warns them about the "Career" tributes who train intensively at special academies despite the rules against this and almost always win.

During a TV interview with the colorful Capitol-native host Caesar Flickerman, Peeta unexpectedly reveals his love for Katniss. She is outraged, believing it to be a ploy to gain favor, as "sponsors" may provide in-Game gifts necessary to keep them alive. However, she discovers Peeta does truly love her despite their lack of communication.
