The point of view
of the book is first person. In fact, all three books in the
Hunger Games trilogy are written in first person. The story is told from
the perspective of the main character Katniss Everdeen. We are not privy to any information
Katniss does not know. When a character leaves her presence, we do not follow that character
until they interact with Katniss again. While this is a perspective that draws the reader into
the story, it is also somewhat limiting. We can only see what Katniss sees and we can only know
what see knows. Katniss is often tricked, lied to, or confused. We cannot know what motivates
other characters nor what they think or feel unless they choose to share this with Katniss.
