You would think Katniss wouldn’t dream of teaming up with a child, but she has. Rue is so similar yet so different from Katniss’s younger sister Prim which is partly the reason why they have teamed up. They surprisingly make an impressive duo and they work so well they’ve become partners in crime. The song presented is lighthearted and connects to the scene very well because at each other’s side they feel safe and secure. They both know the situation they’re in is life or death, but that doesn’t stop them from doing as much as they can to hurt the Career tributes of 1, 2, and 4. The piece also tells how both people in the song care for each other and treasure the bond they have made, much like Katniss and
Katniss and Theseus find themselves in similar situations that there are many literature parallels throughout both of their stories. Volunteering as a tribute for a cruel game like situation and come out as a victorious “hero”, both have to play along as if they love someone they don’t, and have people help them along the way. The only way to know how strong you are is not always a physical strength but mental or emotional strength also.
Through Rachel Getting Married, Demme was able to truthfully display the pain and misery that family members are able to inflict upon each other, even during an event that is presumed to be celebrating family. The film miraculously captured that intangible quality many of us can recognize with: the happiness of being around loved ones we see too rarely and the high of having everyone together in the same place. The center of the celebration was two sisters, Kym and Rachel. Both of complete opposites: one with a Ph.D. in psychology and one self-destructive addict. Our first introduction to Kym didn’t present us with an exactly positive image: she’s a caustic young woman with a history of drug-addiction, run-ins with the law, selfishness and
This is one of the significant parts of the story because it shows how Katniss risks her life for the sake of her sister, in the Hunger Games, by Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins. For instance in Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Juliet states “How did you get here? Why did you come to us? The orchard walls are high, and this place I death if my Kinsmen find you.” It also shows the sacrifice of Romeo’s life he is willing to take for Juliet, as he is outside her balcony.
Fictional character, Katniss Everdeen is an anecdotal character and the hero of The Hunger Games trilogy created by author Suzanne Collins. Katniss and her family originate from a coal-mining district that is the poorest of all the districts, called District 12. Over the span of the Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss volunteers to take the place of her sister, Prim after she is selected as a contestant to compete in the Hunger Games, a broadcast battle that only has one victor. Katniss signs up with kindred District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark, where the pair contend in the Games together. Katniss utilizes her insight with bows and arrows to survive, and the two turn into the victors subsequent to challenging the Capitol 's endeavor to compel one to murder the other (Collins, 2009). Katniss turns into a stirring image of defiance to the harsh Capitol and leads a rebellion that eventually takes down the capital and puts an end to the annual Hunger Games (Jacobson, 2014).
In the novel, Katniss and Peeta, used the strategy of showing fake love in order to win hearts of the people and get attention of sponsors in order to survive the competition. Katniss’s on-air romantic relationship with Peeta, which helps her to survive throughout the course of the series, echoes the overtly dramatic romantic tensions at the center of so many reality shows, ranging from The Real World to The Bachelor. (Wright 102)
It has often been said that there is nothing new under the sun. In this vein, authors across all literary genres often borrow themes and plot from the stories of long ago. Many of those authors choose to borrow from the rich mythology of the ancient Greeks. Suzanne Collins has been asked on numerous occasions where the idea for The Hunger Games originated. She readily admits that the characters and plot come from Greek mythology and more specifically, from Theseus and the Minotaur (Margolis 30). One familiar with both both stories can easily recognize the identical framework upon which each of these stories are built. Both Theseus and Katniss Everdeen, Collins’ heroine, volunteer to go into battle for their respective homelands, they both fight beasts of strange origin, and they are both brave in battle and emerge victorious, but it is the uniqueness of the characters that makes each story appropriate for the time period and audience to which it belongs. Collins modernizes the classic hero of Theseus by changing his gender, his motivations and altering his selfish personality, and by doing these things she creates a heroine that better resonates with today's audience of young adults.
...ued Rues life, she covered her Rue with wildflowers to show that their act of throwing children into an area to fight for their lives against each other will not change her as a person. Gales reasoning to be opposed to the Capitol helped Katniss persevere through contemporary struggle throughout the games and avenge the death of her fallen ally Rue. As a result, the role of the characters throughout the novel is an indicator of why Katniss is successful in the Hunger Games.

It symbolises the effects of direct conflict and how it affects both of the groups. “Strange things did happen here”.
Traits Katniss Everdeen is very determined. If she wants to do something, she tries until she achieves it. This is proved when Katniss wins the Hunger Games after she is told that she should try to win, by Prim, her sister and throughout the games she remembers these words and kind of uses them as her guide. She is also very strong in both mental and physical ways. Her worst character trait is that she lets kind people root into her, so if someone pretends to be kind she will let them root in which means she lets them know about her and becomes easygoing with them.
On the big screen, women have often been treated as second-class citizens and portrayed as helpless creatures, waiting to be rescued by their Prince Charming. This gender gap came to a halt when The Hunger Games (Dir. Gary Ross) was released in theaters. The brave Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) - stood up for someone else – even when it meant risking her own life. The Hunger Games was not only one of the top grossing movies of the year, but it was also one of the very few movies where a woman was able to display her stability and willingness to fight. The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Gravity are some of the recent movies that show a woman’s much greater potential in life centering around: courage, nature, and recognition.
