Falling action
The falling action is not in this book because there is another
book but the story ends by; The Games take a drastic turn when a
plan by Katniss alliance to wipe out some of the reaming players
goes wrong. Katniss blows out the force field of the arena and is
knocked unconscious. When she awakes she learns that she was
rescued from the arena by rebel forces, of which Haymitch and the
head game-maker are a part of, along with two others in her
alliance. Peeta, however, and two others were captured by the
Capitol. She also learns that her home, District 12, was destroyed
immediately after she broke the force field in the Games. Katniss
learns that Haymitch knew about everything all along, but kept it
from her and Peeta and told everyone in the alliance to keep it
from her as well. Everyone went out of their way to protect her
because she needed to be their pawn and she needed to be their
symbol of rebellion, their mockingjay.
