Cheat Sheet
- Panem's District Industries -
Know all 12 (plus secret District 13) districts and their primary industries, e.g., District 12's coal mining and District 4's fishing. Use the mnemonic "Coal Mines Cook Fuel, Four Fishes Feed Folks" to recall the first four in order. The official Panem compendium (Scholastic) provides authoritative industry details for each district.
- Katniss's Character Journey -
Map Katniss Everdeen's evolution from survival hunter to Mockingjay symbol by charting pivotal moments in The Hunger Games trilogy. Create a timeline with entries like Reaping → Rue Alliance → Quarter Quell → Capitol Siege to see growth stages at a glance. The Purdue OWL literary analysis guide offers templates for structuring character profiles.
- Chronology of the Hunger Games -
Memorize the sequence: Reaping - Training - Bloodbath - Alliances - Final Showdown - Victory Tour - Spark of Rebellion. Anchor the order with the acronym "RTBAFVS" (Reaping, Training, Bloodbath, Alliances, Final Showdown, Victory Tour, Spark). University literature study guides often present this structure for quiz prep.
- Capitol's Power Structure -
Understand President Snow's authoritarian regime, the Gamemaker council, and the Peacekeeper enforcement chain linking Capitol to each district. Drawing a simple org chart - with Snow at the top, Gamemakers in the middle, then Peacekeepers, and district mayors - clarifies roles. Political science articles on JSTOR compare Panem's hierarchy to real-world totalitarian systems.
- Symbols & Themes -
Review key motifs like the Mockingjay (resistance), nightlock berries (sacrifice), and fire (rebirth). Use flashcards pairing an image (e.g., a Mockingjay pin) with a quote ("Fire is catching") to reinforce the thematic link to uprising. MLA database literary journals delve into these symbols for deeper context.
