I liked the 74th better, only because it was the first one, and it was more, exciting. :)
74
it actually has no specific time. just imagine an apocalypse, Panem to form, a rebellion and 74 years. triple digits
I am hoping that i understand your question correctly... 74- its the 74th Hunger Games 12- Katniss is from district 12 24- number if tributes in the games 13- the district that broke away from the rule of the capital
it's about a girl (katniss everdeen) who has to participate in the 74 anuel hunger games to fight to the death with 23 other children in her country, panem (north america)
We do not know for sure except that it is in the very distant future. Collins said it would have taken triple digits for Panem to be produced from the ashes of North America. It would then have taken several years for the Dark Days to come and the book is set 74 years after that.
The Dark Days were a period in Panem's history about 74 years before the beginning of The Hunger Games book when the 13 districts rebelled against the Capitol. The districts were defeated, and District 13 was supposedly destroyed. As a punishment for the Dark Days, each district must send two tributes, one boy and one girl between ages 12-18 to the Hunger Games every year.
Katniss Everdeen was born on May 8th as noted in the Hunger Games trilogy. But, it does not tell her birth year. With calculations that I did, It shows that Katniss was born in about 2063-2066. If you are wondering, to come to this conclusion, I simply toke the year that The Hunger Games was published, 2008, and the year of The Hunger Games, 74, and added them together which gave me 2082. Then I added the age which Katniss was at the time, 16, and subtracted it. Giving me 2066. The reason which i added 2063-2066 is because you don't know the actual year in which she was born. I hope this answer helps! :)
The far future. At least 74 years, because at the beginning of the trilogy they are in the 74th year of the Games. Panem is set as North America, but the map of Panem is smaller than that of North America, signifying that it may have begun to go underwater.
This a SPOILER ALERT! There was a number of people who survived, most of whom was in alliance with Pultarch and Haymitch. There was of Katniss, Peeta(that was soon HIJACKED mentally by Snow), Finnick, Beetee, Joannah(though she was captured and tourchered), and the woman from District 1, Enorbaria
First,you should check out the book series,it will give you a better feel about what it is about. And, the plot is,16 year old Katniss Everdeen lives in future North America. North America was destroyed in countless disasters (before she was born)making what is her country,Panem. Panem is a country made up of 12 districts(Used to be 13 before a war broke out)Since the war ended about 75/74 years before the story starts,Capitol(Basically like the Washington D.C. of their time)tries to keep the people in order so a war will never happen again by holding The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a fight till death in an arena,all kids from the ages 12 to 18 have to enter the Hunger Games. A boy and girl tribute from each district is chosen to enter the Hunger Games,where 24 kids go in,and 1 comes out. When Katniss's younger sister,Prim is chosen,Katniss finds herself offering to take the place of her sibling. The tale shows Katniss struggling to make it through the Hunger Games,trying to be the last one standing,for her sister and mother's sake,where she risks love,her life,and others to make it to the end:D Hope this helped
In the districts, it is mandatory viewing. In the Capitol, they consider it entertainment.
On p. 73 (the end of chapter 4) is about Katniss realising Peeta is fighting to kill her. P. 74-76 are Katniss being prepared by her prep team, Venia, Octavia and Flavius.
