The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

"Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?"

The Hunger Games

This WebQuest revolves around the book, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Out of the ashes of a series of unnamed natural disasters in the former continent of North America rises the country of Panem. Panem is a harsh land divided into 13 districts and ruled by the Capitol. Many years ago, the 13 districts rose up and tried to over throw the Capitol. While 12 district were suppressed, the Capitol obliterated District 13. Now, every year as a reminder of their crimes against the Capitol, children ages 12 through 18 are required to participate in the Hunger Games. Brutal and violent, two children from each district are forced to fight to the death in a televised bloodbath that all inhabitants of Panem must watch.

'Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch - this is the Capitol's way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy. How little chance we would stand of surviving another rebellion. Whatever words they use, the real message is clear. "Look how we take your children and sacrifice them and there's nothing you can do..."' (Collins 18-19).
