1. 1

   Katniss's immediate decision to volunteer for Prim is a pivotal moment. How does this act of self-sacrifice immediately define her character, and what does it suggest about the power of familial love in a world designed to break human bonds? Have you ever witnessed or made a significant sacrifice for someone you love?

2. 2

   The Capitol maintains its power through the spectacle of the Hunger Games and the systematic oppression of the districts. Beyond the arena itself, what aspects of Panem's society – its rules, its technology, its propaganda – did you find most chillingly effective in maintaining control, and why?

3. 3

   Once inside the arena, Katniss and the other tributes are thrust into a brutal fight for survival. What moral lines do different characters draw – or cross – in their quest to stay alive? If forced into a similar extreme situation, do you think there are universal moral boundaries that should always hold, or does survival supersede everything?
