The theme of this story starts a little bit in the beginning of the book because it shows how the citizens in the  districts are separated form the people in the capitol. this is another way of describing how there is inequality from the rich and the poor. you can tell this is the theme in the book because in the story katniss and the citizens in a way are bullied by the capitol which are the rich class of people who make the lower class that are poor compete in the games as entertainment but also for the reminder of what the districts used to be when there was and up roar among the citizens and the capitol. Katniss and most of the peoples life's in the districts are rough because there main role in life is to survive and keep the generation going and provide entertainment for the capitol even though they say it is a reminder of what used to be and to never happen again. when katniss goes to the capitol she really sees the difference between the rich and the poor because as a lower class citizen her self being treated so highly and fortunately she realizes even more that the system that is being run through out the hole districts and capitol is wrong and that no one is treated equally.
