the reaping
By the time he is 18, he has 42 entries in the reaping draw.
This is called the Reaping.
Within the first chapter of The Hunger Games the Reaping is mentioned; this is a hook because the reader, at this point, is not supposed to know what the Reaping is. The purpose of a hook is to make the reader continue reading. The mention of the Reaping keeps the reader reading for two reasons a) either the reader does not know what the Reaping is and wants to find out or b) the reader wants to know who will be selected in the Reaping, and, by extension, what will occur afterward.
The reaping is a special day that happens once a year where every district draws two names, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 , who will compete in the Hunger Games to fight to the death on live TV.
