Think about the topics and themes in The Hunger Games that are interesting to you before your begin planning. Remember, the best literature essays set out to answer some sort of problem that exists within the text. Determine what "problem" you want to solve, and work from there. 


After you select a literary problem to solve, having quotes and character profiles is excellent. Your quotes should all center on similar themes so that it is easier to use them as you organize your essay. Since this is The Hunger Games, you may also want to look at the relationships of  the characters in addition to having a detailed profile. It sounds like you are off to a good start.
