Rory is taking a full course load, including a number of science classes. Both of her parents are physicians. Growing up, Rory never thought about being anything but a physician herself. She says she wants to be a physician, but she also feels a lot of pressure from her parents to be one. She is aware of how competitive it is to get into medical school, so she's very concerned about getting good grades in her classes right now. As midterms approach, Rory feels herself getting more and more stressed. She's having trouble sleeping, feels sick to her stomach, and has completely lost her appetite. She has gotten into several arguments with her spouse lately. To avoid further conflict, Rory tries to spend as much time away from home as possible, often studying at the library or a café until closing. She often doesn't get to bed until three or four in the morning, even though she has a Spanish class that meets every day at 9 a. m.

where the hecks your question ???

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
