Significant Characteristic

I am currently reading the novel entitled The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. An important characteristic is the location itself, as the what is happening here would not occur at this point in our reality. This makes for a very significant characteristic as this shows us that it is a very different world.

Another important characteristic in this novel is the main character herself, Katniss. Without her, there would not be much of a story, as her younger sister would have been sent to the hunger games and would have realistically been killed very quickly. This would make for an unexciting story, as it would have a pathetically fast and most likely not have much of a real plot line, in terms of her victory.
