The Hunger Games: How It Could've Gone

I don't need to describe what "The Hunger Games" is, it's immensely popular. What I'm going to do is I'm going to try and pinpoint all the ways it could've gone. (A lot of them involve Katniss dead, sorry.) I'm not saying the "canon" story/ending wasn't satisfying, I'm saying that chance matters just as much as skill, especially in the Hunger Games, and there were many instances where moments pivotal to the story happened by chance.
I'm just trying to give you a good read.
As usual, all credit for original ideas and much of the text goes to Suzanne Collins.
Enjoy.
