I wake up and I wiped the drowsiness out of my eyes. I look at my wall and notice all the pictures I drew. My favorite is Katniss. I have like 20 pictures of her. I drew those after the Games. I’m deeply in love with her. She says she doesn’t love me. She loves Gale though. We haven’t slept together since we got home from the Games. I dream about her all the time. I spend a good three hours trying to draw another picture of Katniss, Haymitch, and I. After another thirty minutes, I quit.
I walk outside and look over towards her house. I look over to Haymitch's house and don’t see smoke coming out of his chimney.
“Haymitch. You drunk bum,” I say to myself and start walking over to his house. I here Katniss’s door open and I turn around.
“Peeta? …show more content…

“I mean if I had one.”
I look at the clock and notice it was going on 1:45. “Holy s**t. We need to get you dressed fast.” I suddenly realized I was sounding like Katniss, so I turned around and walked out of his house.
I walked back to mine and flung the door open. If I only had one wish I would make myself Gale, because he has what I don’t. A girl that loves him. I realise what I have to do. I have to marry Katniss. I know President Snow is going to make us get married because he doesn’t believe our love. I think he believes I love Katniss because I do. I have a fake leg to prove it.
I climb the stairs to my bedroom and I look out the window to the woods. I know she’s out in there. Gale would be to if he wasn’t in the coal mines. I turn to look at my wall at the mockingjay I drew to symbolize my loyalty to Katniss. I spend a couple hours reading a book. I make my dinner at around six. My eyes were starting to get harder to hold up.
I flopped on my bed and fell asleep instantly.
. . .
I woke up to the sound of the birds outside my window. I got up and stretched my leg. I look out the window and see that it snowed the night before. I get bundled up and grabbed a shovel from down stairs. I walk over to Katniss’s house and shovel a path from her house to mine, then to Haymitch’s. Katniss’s door opened

  • Katniss Reaping Quotes

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    There are many inferences you can make about the reaping and why Katniss thinks Prim is safe from the reaing, just by reading paragraphs 1 through 7. For example you can infer that the reaping is some sort of drawing or lottery from the quotes, "...since she's only entered once." and " ... but I'm powerless against the reaping." because it is something you must enter and are powerless against. You can infer that Katniss think Primrose is safe because of her age and how many times her name had been entered. Quotes from paragraph 2 and 7 help prove this. "...since she only entered once" is a valid reason Katniss think Prim is safe if she has only entered once the chances are pretty slim she will get chosen. Another example is " I didn't

    First of all, I’d like to say sorry for all the things that Scout and I have done. We behaved badly by trying to make you come out of the house. Such as when we gave you a letter to let you know that we want you to go out of your house, even if you do not want to, but Atticus caught us, when I’m going to slip the paper in your window he took it from me and read it. He told me to stop bothering you because Atticus thought that we’re making fun of you, but we’re not, we just want you to go out and have fun with us.

    We stood and watched as the dark figures got out of the dusty cars and moved towards Atticus and Tom Robinson’s cell. I had a theory of what they were trying to do: kill the accused. It’s not common for a group of men to be going to the jail in the middle of the night dressed in such a way. I was sure that they wanted to commit an act of lynching when they put the sheriff into this. The men wanted Atticus to draw back, but I knew he isn’t that kind of person.

  • Catching Fire Katniss Analysis

    1721 Words  | 4 Pages

    For the characters within Nineteen Eighty Four and Catching Fire, Orwell and Collins use devices such as symbolism, imagery and language techniques to reflect how the characters are controlled within their dystopian societies by their totalitarian governments. The characterisations within the novels either reinforce this control or oppose it and push the boundaries. Although I agree that Winston and Julia are ultimately controlled mentally and physically by their totalitarian government, I believe that the character of Katniss is only restricted physically by her totalitarian government, yet, Collins ' characterisation of Katniss enables her character to loosen the "iron grip" of the "Capitol 's" physical control.

    In Suzanne Collin’s novel, The Hunger Games, the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, undergoes several changes over the course of the story. This novel is about a nationally televised event called The Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youth fight to death until only one remains, Katniss’ sister, Prim, is chosen as a tribute to fight in the games but Katniss refuses to let her sister fight and volunteers to take her spot. At the beginning of the novel, Katniss is fearful and unsure of herself. While she illustrates bravery when she volunteers as tribute in place of her Prim, she has little confidence in her abilities. Despite her doubts, Katniss is determined to win the Games no matter the cost, even if she has to kill Peeta (Baker’s son from District 12). By the end, she has gained a new respect for human life. She states that she no longer hates Cato (Male Tribute from District 2) because he is only a tool of the Game, they are all tools of the Game. Human life has taken a new importance for her. She shows this when she sings to Rue (12-year old female tribute from District 11) and adorns Rue with flowers after Rue dies and when she goes to help Peeta,

    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.
