Discrimination is shown in The Hunger Games often,as the story is largely based on inequality and prejudice. A prime example is the way the people of the Capitol treat the people of the Districts,particularly people from the lowest Districts on the food chain,10,11,12. I don't know if you have read the books or seen the movie,but if you have seen the movie,notice at the tribute parade Katniss and Peeta join hands and hold their arms in the air. Caesar Flickerman makes a comment along the lines of:'See I LOVE that!Two young people,holding their arms up together to say we are PROUD to come from District 12,we WILL NOT be overlooked,I love that!"

Notice how Caesar implies that tributes from 'outline' Districts are often overlooked,and almost never have a victor.

I hope this helped you.

Who is their shadow in the hunger games book?

Yes, there is quite a bit of fore shadowing in the hunger games. Theres a lot but I can give you some examples. Bread was introduced very early in the book, later on with Peeta you realize how important bread was. And it says that Katniss's mom ran away with a coal miner, even though she was from the merchant area. This fore shadows Katniss choosing Peeta over Gale.


What will the fourth hunger games book be called?

There isn't going to be one *sob* mockingjay says on the front "the final book of the hunger games" ^That is true. And sad. :( But there are new books about the hunger games and a special edition of Mockingjay that are coming out, and I've heard their might be a fourth book.... but since the hunger games is a triology... if there was to be another, there is a possibility it may have different characters or something? There's also going to be a movie, coming out in March 23rd, 2012.
