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.

Poor citizens of Panem (such as the citizens of District 12) are looked down upon by Capital citizens.
"Once they are done I'm like a plucked bird ready for roasting."
One that's really obvious, is when almost everyone calls Katniss "the girl on fire" you could take that literally, but its meant as an idiom meaning that Katniss is full of rage and is crazy. Thats the only one i can remember from the top of my head from Hunger Games
In the book The Hunger Games one of the main characters, Peeta has the unique skill of being charismatic, and is an expert at blending in with nature.
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.
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.
