Struggle for power - Currently the Capitol has power - president snow

• Katniss becomes a rival for power - people look up to her for guidance , becomes a threat because snow sees her as one.
• 'Hope, its is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a little hope is dangerous!'

Fear - the people are afraid of rebelling because the last time they tried they failed, and they were punished with the hunger games.

Little hope - becoming a victor

dangerous hope - that the districts deserve to be treated better
