In Suzanne Collins' expansion of the Panem universe, Sunrise on the Reaping, we are
taken back to the deadliest Hunger Games in history.
It is the morning of the fiftieth Hunger Games, a grim milestone known as the Second
Quarter Quell.
This chart shows how the Capitol celebrates this specific anniversary. They demand
double the usual number of tributes, dragging forty-eight children into the arena.
In District Twelve, Haymitch Abernathy wakes up on his sixteenth birthday.
He dresses in shorts made from government flour sacks, a small detail of a life defined
by poverty and making every resource count.
He is grounded by three profound ties to his home: his mother, his ten-year-old brother,
Sid, and his girlfriend, Lenore Dove.
The day meant to mark his birth becomes the day his home district draws the names for
his potential execution.
