Rising Action: Katniss and Peeta practice their skills in preparation for the Hunger Games where they will fight to the death.
Climax: Katniss and Peeta are chased by dogs that have been mutated to kill and when they fight Cato and in return win the Hunger Games.
Fallling Action: Katniss and Peeta are told that only one person can win the Hunger Games so they pretend to eat poisonous berries so that they both can live. However, the rules change and two people are allowed to win.
Resolution: Katniss and Peeta pretend to be a couple so that they will not be punished for lying about eating poisonous berries. When they arrived back in District 12, Katniss and Peeta continue to pretend to be lovers.
Literary Qualities: Two strong literary elements in this book were symbolism and conflict. Symbolism is seen throughout the whole book in the way that the district is run among other things. There is great conflict in this book is that the characters are fighting for their lives.
