This is an annual competition where 24 people are made to fight until only one is left alive. You get entered, depending on your age, a certain number of times. Katniss has a 12 year old sister called Primrose. Katniss, like most people in her district, doesn't want to be picked, she doesn't think she can win. When the 'reapings' (when the competitors get picked) happen, Prim is pi...
