According to some of the official maps for the Facebook game version of HG, it seems that District 13 is in the New York area, spreading up into Canada. I may be wrong about TN being in District 11, according to those maps. I didn't realize just how much of the country is flooded/wiped out. Half of TN is in District 12 (from Nashville to Knoxville), and the other half is in another district that's a little further north from District 11. I can't imagine what other district it would be. We don't do much here. XD I actually thought it would be fitting that District 13 to be in TN since we have Oak Ridge. I suppose that those maps might not be Collins-approved canon that are used in the game.
I can understand why Katniss doesn't know or become curious about what's happened to her world at this stage. She's more focused on just day-to-day survival and has learned just what the dictatorship wants her to believe and the rest of what she's learned is about the industry the Capitol needs her District to maintain. It's, however, still disappointing to not have a broader picture of this world in the first book. There's not even a map. It becomes less interesting to me if I can't have even the smallest background information. It's like there's President Snow. Why is he a president? Is he elected? Doesn't sound like it. He just seems to be like Caesar. He's just President-4-Life guy, I'm guessing. How long has it been since the apocalypse happened, not just the rebellions and such? Religion, racism, and homophobia just disappeared during the apocalypse? I just need some kind of scope here if it's meant to be set on earth in North America at a time in the future.
Finnick seems like a very tragic figure. After learning about what President Snow forced him into after his victory, he seems very sad... At least he gets a trident, right?
