What ma1kes the character unique is that they live in what would be referred to as the ‘post-apocalyptic world’. The North is synonymous of a powerful government that recruits a male and female representative from each district to fight to the death. The purpose of this is to demonstrate that no one, including the young, is immune to the powerful government.
