In "The Hunger Games," Katniss Everdeen has a total of 20 slips in the reaping ball. This number reflects the years she has been eligible for the Hunger Games, increased by the extra slips she receives for taking food from the government in order to feed her family. This situation underscores the harsh realities of survival in her world.

What are some metaphors in The Hunger Games?

There are quite a few metaphors in the series The Hunger Games. A few of them are below.A metaphor in the Hunger Games is at the beginning of the book, when Katniss says "The woods became our saviour". This means that the woods provide food for Katniss and Gale's (her friend) family. It saved them from dying of starvation.Katniss is the mockingjay- literally she isn't a bird, but she is the thing that survived despite the Capitols intentions, like a mockinjay.Katniss, the Girl on Fire- She is the spark that set the districts alight with the idea of rebellion and the courage to change. She's never actually on fire... except for that bit where she gets hit with a fire ball in the Games... but other than that, it's a metaphor


How does the Capital or regions meet its need in the book Hunger Games?

They meet the need by holding the Hunger Games every year. The Hunger Games starts with 1 boy and 1 girl from each of the 12 districts having a name reaped out of the reaping ball. They then are trained and put in an arena to fight to the death until one person remains. From district 1: Marvel and Glimmer. 2: Cato and Clove 5: Foxface 11: Thresh and Rue 12: Katniss and Peeta. (Primrose was draw out but Katniss volunteered because Primrose was only 12 and couldn't hunt.)

It ironis that Prim's name is only in the reaping ball once, and she gets picked. Peeta says he has a crush on Katniss then joins the careers to kill her (really he is steering them away but we dont find this out till later) This is all i can think of at the moment. Hope this helped (:


Is Football almost the same to The Hunger Games?

No, not at all the same, football doesn't kill people so the ball can survive. You have to hide yourself in The Hunger Games, but in football, you want to be open so that you can get the ball and score
