Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

I've seen a lot of maps but this one makes the most sense to me.
That one seems fairly reasonable, except that I think District 2 needs to be much bigger and cover a significant part of the Rockies. District 9 also needs to be bigger, if that's where all the grain is grown. I'd probably push District 8 further north, since that one is textiles and doesn't really depend on having a particular type of land or climate, and give District 9 most of that space.
Also, Panem sure seems to build a lot of stuff for a country that doesn't have any place that produces steel.

Yes to the first, not really to the second. Why?

I can see why you'd have that question given how he was deposed and all.

Huh, I could have sworn he was the one that helps get her out in the second book.
It has to do with a plot point of the first movie, which was cool, but I thought contradicted the later books.
