Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, “The Hunger Games.” The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat’s sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

The Hanging Tree – Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Song in ‘Mockingjay’ by Suzanne Collins. Tune by Kimmy West – Site Manager of Mockingjay.net Are you, are you coming to the tree where they strung up a man they say murdered three Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you coming to the tree Where the dead man called out for his love to flee Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you coming to the tree Where I told you to run so we’d both be free Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you coming to the tree Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
