The following questions are to be used in a book group or small group setting as discussion material to accompany the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It may also be used alone as starting concepts for book summaries or thematic articles. The guide is in no way an endorsement for or against the book or subsequent movie. The guide is meant to be used alongside the novel and contains no words or passages from The Hunger Games. It is designed to be a tool for vibrant and enlightened conversation to enhance the reading experience. Any final decisions or judgments on the book are left to the group, and ultimately the reader oneself, to make. After all, we have already seen as a central theme in the writing itself the damage of one group of people telling others what to do and believe.
Even though the book is divided into sections and chapters, the questions that follow are general questions to be used after reading the entire novel. Because many of its themes are not fully developed until the end of The Hunger Games, and because so many readers finish the reading in its entirety very quickly, the questions are not divided by chapter. Feel free, after having purchased this guide, to use just the questions that apply to your particular group, or to rearrange the order as you see fit.
