The reaping is an event that happens in the town square of each district, in which 2 tributes are chosen from the ages of 12-18 ~ one male, one female ~ to go and fight to the death in an outdoor arena. One thing about this that really angers Katniss is that the whole event is televised, so every person in every district can watch it. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss's little sister, Prim, is chosen as female tribute, but Katniss volunteers for her. The male tribute reaped is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son.
The Reaping is the day when everyone in all 12 districts gathers in the town square in their own district, and names are drawn, one boy and one girl ages 12-18, to see who will take part in the Hunger Games. The teenagers are thrown into an arena and ordered to kill each other. The last person standing is the winner, and they will train whoever is drawn from their District next year.
The day of the Reaping is when the tributes for The Hunger Games are chosen from each District. You dress in your finest clothes to celebrate if you were not chosen to participate in the Games.
"Reap" VERB
To collect or gather, (Usually for crops)
