Panem is a country built solely on the values ​​of social division. Separating the weak from the strong prevents districts from regrouping and therefore destroying the Capitol in another rebellion. Living in the wealthiest and most furnished neighborhoods opens up the possibility of easy and luxurious living. On the other hand, if you live in a poorer neighborhood, it is likely that your life will be one of work and hardship. This disparity is revealed throughout the novel in food consumption, health, well-being and state of life. In many poorer districts, starvation is common and the quality of food is also poor. Poor quality nutrition has negative effects on health and can lead to illness and even death. In many poorer neighborhoods, the quality of life is low and many people live in poorly maintained or damaged homes. For example, although tributes for The Hunger Games are chosen at random, children from wealthier families can afford training for The Hunger Games and therefore pose a greater threat to other tributes when they volunteer. . For them, participating in the Hunger Games is an honor, but for poorer children, without combat training or survival skills, the Hunger Games are more like death.
