District 12
-
Even within the same district, there are people with different wealth.
pg38 "Feed it to the pig, you stupid creature!"
While some people like Katniss, are searching in trash cans for scraps of food, there are people that trash food and give it to animals.
pg8 "My mothers parents were part of the small merchant class that caters to officials, peacekeepers, and the occasional Seam customer... They ran an apothecary shop in the nicer part of district 12.

The Arena
-
The arena changes every year, and people do not know about the Arena before the game starts
pg138 "There is no telling hpw far we will travel to the arena that has been prepared for this year's Games
Like what Katniss says, people do not know what the arena will be like before the games
pg18 The 24 tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland.
pg39 "Another year, they tossed everybody into a landscape of nothing but boulders and sand and scruffy bushes. I particularly hated that year. Many contestants were bitten by venomous snakes or went insane from thirst.
This gives evidence that the Arena can be any kind of outdoor arena, and sometimes its actually arenas that are hard to survive (because of nature, not other tributes)
-
The arenas have dangerous things that can acts as obstacles and make action. Gamemakers purposely try to make people fight each-other.
pg185 "But these are the Hunger Games, and ordinary isn't the norm. More likely they will be one of the Capitol's mutations, tracker jackers."
The tracker jackers are one example of the tools in the Arena used to make action (make people hurt/fight). The Capitol wants to make the games interesting so they leave these things so the Hunger Games can be lively.
pg172 "the world has transformed to flame and smoke. Burning branches crack from trees and fall in showers of sparks at my feet.... The fire is designed to flush us out, to drive us together. It may not be the most original device I've seen, but it's very, very effective."
They are using fire to try to drive tributes together and to create action. They need to continuously put tributes in danger to show their power and remind people of their weakness.
pg175 "The game has taken a twist. The fire was just to get us moving, now the audience will get to see some real fun. When I hear the next hiss, I flatten on the ground, not taking time to look."
-
pg244 Usually, this will be a call to a feast. When food is scarce, the Gamemakers will invite the players to a banquet, somewhere known to all like the cornucopia, an inducement to gather and fight.
