How is Katniss mother different than other residents of seam?

She didn't live in the seam, she lived in the "richer" part of district 12, but she was still fairly poor. People who don't live in the seam are the apothocaries, bakers etc. Katniss's mother has blue eyes and blonde hair like most other girls who live in district 12, but not in the seam. The seam can be defined as the poorer part of district 12.


What is the nickname of district 12?

There is no official "nickname" for District 12 or any districts for that matter. However, within District 12, everyone calls the area of houses for the underprivileged people of District 12 "The Seam". These are where the people who struggle without enough food or money live ( the majority of the district are from the Seam). Also, people with olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes are considered to have the "Seam look". It is mentioned in the books that Prim and Katniss' mother look out of place because of their blonde hair and blue eyes, a genetic combination that is not common for people from the Seam.


Where did Mrs Everdeen live before The Seam?

Katniss was born in the seam and lived there until she won the hunger games


What color are Katniss eyes?

The author described Katniss as having black hair, as well as being olive skinned, with gray eyes, and short.


Why is District 12 called the Seam in The Hunger Games?

The Seam is actually different from District 12. The Seam is an area within District 12, as well as the poorest. It's mostly a mining town, with more miners than merchants. It's possible that it's called the Seam because the district is located in Appalachia, and the Appalachian Mountains look similar to a seam on the continent. Another possibility is that the Seam is located right on the border between District 12 and the wilderness, forming a 'seam' between the two. The word "seam" literally means "where two pieces of fabric are sewn together." So, this area of District 12 could be considered where the oppressed country and the slightly rebellious and very free woods come together. A seam is often more blended than a rigid border, which is represented by the broken electric fence, and how easy it is for people of District 12 to go between the wilderness and the safety of the district.
