And Rue reminded Katniss of her younger sister which is why katniss allied with her.in the book there are any things that show how carig katniss but the one that stuck out is when rue died, when rue died katniss killed her first opponent because she really did care about rue and as rue was dying katniss stayed with her and sang which is something she doesn’t like to do but she cared so much for Rue she did it for her,this added heart to the games and a lot of people could relate to it because many people have relatives or friends that they love and it showed everyone that not every tribute in the game is a blood thirsty killer, it showed that these were real people with real

This part of the journey begins when Rue dies. Katniss tried to save her and failed. She shares her struggle when she shares, "Rue's death has forced me to confront my own fury against the cruelty, the injustice they inflict upon us. But here, even more strongly than at home, I feel my impotence. “There's no way to take revenge on the Capitol. Is there?” (Collins 1364). This part of the journey continues when she finds Peeta inured. Katniss constantly risks her life to get resources to help bring Peeta back to health. Katniss is willing to go through all of this trouble because Peeta is her friend and she knows that his survival is crucial to her winning the games, and returning to her district. Protecting
Collins has not only included drama, but favourites – the audience picks out those that they find most appealing. It could be said that the audience ‘votes’ for a tribute; when sponsors send helpful items to the tribute, it is almost a vote to keep them in the game. To get her sponsors, Katniss has to keep the ‘love story’ act rolling for the cameras to get the vital attention needed – she provided heart-stopping drama and entertainment for the Capitol. As she said, she must “give the audience something more to care about. Star-crossed lovers
After examining the sources, I strongly believe that Pocahontas did not save John Smith from the urgent, deadly circumstance that legends speak of. Although history textbooks such as The Americans: A History write that Pocahontas “rescued Smith when he was captured”, it refers to her rescue as a legend. While some legends may be exaggerated versions of partial truths, many are purely just stories. Although Pocahontas may have “saved” John Smith from a less dire circumstance, the odds of her rescuing him from a desperate, violent capture is probably not true. Furthermore, Smith did not mention any threat or capture in his book written a year after the “actual” event. However, in order to gain more fame and money, he included an epic, detailed description of her rescue in the Generall Historie of Virginia. If Pocahontas truly tried to “save him from death” (Smith), John Smith would’ve had to mention her rescue in his first book.
She keeps arguing with Peeta whether or not she is going to go or not. Katniss wants to go and Peeta is saying she is going to stay behind. Peeta says “No, you’re not risking your life for me.”(274). Then Katniss lies and says she’s not going but really she just gives him spoonfuls of a syrup which actually makes him sleep so Katniss can sneak out and grab the medicine. Once she grabs the medicine Clove is saying that Cato, is out there hunting for Peeta. Clove said “I don't think you'll have much use for your lips anymore, want to blow Lover Boy one last kiss?”(286). When she gets back to Peeta she gives him the medicine and when they wake up it is much better than what it was before. “Much better, whatever you shot into my arm did the trick.”(291). Said Peeta. Katniss showed great bravery and courage when she ran out into the middle trying to grab that pack filled with supplies including the medicine.
An epic hero can be defined in many ways; however, most epic heroes and heroines possess a specific set of characteristics. These characteristics have several components and are often used to determine whether or not one qualifies as an epic hero. The popular novel, The Hunger Games, features a young girl from District 12 named Katniss Everdeen. Katniss faces a daily struggle to keep her family from starving and is forced to take the place of her sister in a selection to compete in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a televised fight to the death between children aged twelve to eighteen. The competitors are selected by random draw, one male and one female from each of the twelve districts. The last remaining survivor is crowned
In the first chapters, the reader is able to recognize how much she loves her younger sister Primrose. The two are very close and Katniss prioritizes her sister’s welfare over her mother’s. Furthermore, in chapter 2, the reader gets an example of the impact Katniss’ identity has on her. When Primrose was initially chosen to participate in the Hunger Games , her sister said : “I volunteer!” .“I volunteer as tribute!”.
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)
In the novel Hunger Game, author Suzanne Collins narrates a girl name Katniss Everdeen who voluntarily replaces her younger sister, Prime, to be one of the tribute to participate in the hunger game. She is the family’s backbone after her father died in the mine accident and then the district only gives them a little compensation which it’s not enough for her family’s living. Soon, they run out of money and suffer from hunger. They live in the District 12 where it’s a poor and food shortage region. People often suffer from hunger and Katniss is of no exception. In one section of the story, Katniss could not trade old baby clothes for food or find food from trash bins. She is extremely hungry, until she passes by a bakery:
Katniss is a good person at heart. Katniss may have hunter’s instinct; kill anything or anyone who tries to harm the people she cares about. Katniss would risk her life for them. Even in the games, Katniss would not kill the one person who stood in her way of winning. Katniss shows what matters compassion and her humanity. Katniss shows she is more than apiece in their games (232). Katniss remembers what Peeta said on the Roof. Peeta said,” I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not” (141). Katniss does not want to lose herself, which she never does. Katniss shows she is a good person by forming alliances and taking care of other tributes. Katniss does not think she is good but she really is even if she cannot see it.
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.
I unwilllingly walked through the entrance of regret and guilt. With teary eyes from what happened the night before, I didn’t know what I could say. All I thought was ‘It was an accident’ but that didn’t matter anymore.
In The Hunger Games, the main character named Katniss finds her own way around the games. Katniss is not the person who likes to kill, she tried her best to kill as few people as possible, yet not get herself killed. Katniss hated the idea of the hunger games, so she wanted to try to find a way to stop it. Over the course of many books/movies, Katniss was able to go her own way and rebel against the rich people. She was unique, Katniss was able to get many people to respect her and help her fight against the rich. Like any other person, Katniss could have just followed the instructions given to her to be safe. However, this is not who she is, Katniss stuck up for what she believed in. She had a decision to defeat the rich and try to end the games, and she stuck to it. There are many movies and books in the arts that show people not following the crowd. So many show how people can be unique and be there own person. Any body can take there own road, just like
She also survived the Hunger Games using her skills and won, and in the process, saving another person named Peeta Mellark. Lastly, she can be very loving, but only to some people, such as Prim, her little sister (12 years old so her first year in the reaping).
The berries symbolized a rebellion, an act against the capitol. Threatening your life is something that will help a nation grow and develop values that the rules are comprised of. Katniss is going to be haunted by this stunt for the rest of her life because peace is a delicate thing. President Snow knows that Katniss is messing with it.
