Beginning - Katniss volunteers to take place for her sister primrose, whilst Peeta Mellark is rolled out as the second tribute for the hunger games  

Middle - Peeta and Katniss are defending for their lives. Katniss makes an ally with Rue, unfortunately Rue ends up getting shot with an arrow. Katniss shoots Cato also trying to run away from the trap that the Game Makers had set up

End - A new rule came out, which is if two people of the same tribute are alive at the end they both win, after that rule came Katniss tries to find Peeta. She eventually finds him and they both win after murdering the other tributes

Important Event - The reaping day is probably the most important event as it decides who goes into the Hunger Games

different order - If it was in a different order it wouldn't make any sense because if the actual games happened first then you won't know who is participating

equilibrium - Katniss, Primrose and their mum all live in district 12, they are the poorest district ever since district 13 blew up, they live their lives by trading and hunting food 

disruption - The reaping day is the day that changed because it decides who take part in the games and have potential death 

recognition of disruption - Katniss allies with Rue, but Rue gets shot by an arrow

attempt to solve disruption - After Rue dies Katniss finds out the rule of the tributes and after finding Peeta she allies with him
