Falling action The falling action is not in this book because there is another book but the story ends by; The Games take a drastic turn when a plan by Katniss’ alliance to wipe out some of the reaming players goes wrong. Katniss blows out the force field of the arena and is knocked unconscious. When she awakes she learns that she was rescued from the arena by rebel forces, of which Haymitch and the head game-maker are a part of, along with two others in her alliance. Peeta, however, and two others were captured by the Capitol. She also learns that her home, District 12, was destroyed immediately after she broke the force field in the Games. Katniss learns that Haymitch knew about everything all along, but kept it from her and Peeta and told everyone in the alliance to keep it from her as well. Everyone went out of their way to protect her because she needed to be their pawn and she needed to be their symbol of rebellion, their mockingjay.
