Irony= the use of word to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. Ex: It’s ironic that a large dog is named Tiny.
“The peacekeepers march us through the front door of the justice building... conducted to a room and left alone-it’s the richest place I’ve ever been in...” p34

This quote shows that the author uses a style of Irony because...

The peacekeepers are planning to attack Katniss

The author uses words such as 'peacekeepers' and 'justice building' in an ironic way, peacekeepers are essentially military police used to control and suppress people, and the government is unfair and cruel.

Some may argue that femininity is excluded in Hunger Games, and the novel reflects a male point of view. The conversation between Katniss and Primrose '“No matter what you feel, you have to be there for her, do
you understand? Don’t cry. Don’t" supports this exclusion because:

Her tone is cold and distant, like that of a man

It does not exclude a female point of view, because other characters in the novel are female and portray feminine qualities.

She suppresses her emotions

Katniss acts as the protector and provider, taking on the role of the male in her family.
