What is the seam in the hunger games?

In the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, the Seam is a district in the fictional nation of Panem. It is one of the poorer districts and is located adjacent to District 12, where the main character, Katniss Everdeen, resides. The Seam is known for its coal mining industry, with many of its residents working in dangerous and labor-intensive conditions in the mines.

The Seam is also known for its dilapidated housing and poverty, as well as the resilience and resourcefulness of its residents. Katniss and her family live in the Seam, and their struggle for survival and resistance against the oppressive government of Panem is a central theme throughout the series.

The Seam serves as a stark contrast to the opulence and excess of the Capitol, where the wealthy and privileged residents live. It highlights the stark inequality and injustices present in Panem's society, and the struggles of those living in the poorer districts to survive and resist the oppressive regime.
