Katniss leaves District 12, her home, and travels to the capital. After her training for the Hunger Games is done she is sent into the arena.

Chapters ten through fifteen express how Katniss’s relationships with the people around her are changing. Whether they are former ones or with new found relationships. Peeta and Katniss have now taken a bigger leap in their star crossed lover role. The Capitol also takes its fair share at her. Katniss also finds comfort in a new ally, with a small almost Prim like girl, Rue. Peeta at first, in Katniss point of view, made a mistake when he announced that he was in love with Katniss. She lashes out at him after the interview is over, “He made me look weak!”(135). Later she realizes it may actually help them with sponsors. During the games while hiding up in a tree she overhears Peeta being a part of the Career tributes allies. She feel like

In the book, Katniss has a confusing relationship with Peeta. In the book, during the interview with Peeta, it states,”I allow my eyes to flicker up to the screen, long enough to see that, the blush on my cheeks is unmistakable” (Collins, 133). You can tell when she heard his confession, she was confused and a little flattered. Later, it says,”I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, dreading the moment when I finally have to let go” (Collins, 374). In this part, she has developed feelings for Peeta and doesn't want to let go of him, in fear of losing him forever.

On page 135 the book had said that “It was my Idea. Says Peeta. Haymitch just helped. You made me look weak. Said Katniss. He made you look desirable. Said Haymitch”. This goes to show that when Peeta said that he had like Katniss he had just said that to turn the tables and hope to get more sponsors. This is a good example to think that Peeta was just playing the audience.

Katniss and Peeta portray the star-crossed lovers from District 12 but Katniss is actually in love with Gale at first. She puts her life on the line and acts like she loves Peeta to gain sponsors because she wants to be able to win and survive so badly. They work together when the rules change, don’t give up, and combat everything that the capital is throwing at them. They use the berries to make the Capitol think they were going to commit a double suicide because they are smart enough to know that they won’t let them kill themselves because they need a winner. Katniss uses the need of a victor to her advantage by showing everyone watching she’s willing to risk their lives to save the both of them so that they could be together. They use this for a chance at

Peeta Mellark is viewed as the ‘hopeless romantic in the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins because he is viewed as a sweet and kind person who has been in love with Katniss ever since they were children. The text states, “Peeta sighs. “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember,” (Collins 157). The text also states, “”I remember everything about you,” (367). These quotes both show Peeta falling for Katniss ever since he saw her, and cannot stop thinking about her. Peeta also shows he is willing to do anything to help Katniss get home to her family. The text

Whether Peeta has a crush on Katniss or not is still in the air. It could be that Peeta said that to possibly get sponsors or get people to view the both of them as desirable. Maybe what he said is true and he has had a crush a Katniss his entire life. Whichever one it is, I believe it has given the Capitol some possible

The narration takes place in a post-apocalyptic North America. The nation-state of Panem is separated into twelve districts, the thirteenth one having been destroyed due to the rebellion against the government residing in the Capitol. Katniss comes from a poor coal-mining District 12, where she lives with her mother and younger sister Prim. Every year the Capitol holds the so-called Hunger Games to entertain its citizens and remind every district of the authorities’ immense power. The lottery system is used to identify one boy and one girl from each district to participate in the event. Only one person can remain alive and be proclaimed the winner.

During the game Katniss have to pretend that she loves Peeta, but inside she knows that her real love was Gale and that he was waiting for her. It was hard for all of them because Gale was outside seeing how Peeta kiss his girlfriend, and for Peeta because he knows that Katniss was in love with another boy and not of him, and to Katniss because maybe she was with Gale, but passing time with Peeta and look how he tries to saved her life make her get confused about her feelings so she focused in what is good for her, and not of what she real want.

The Hunger Games which is directed by Garry Ross is story in land of Panem which has grown out of the cadaverous ruins of what one time was known as North America, 74 years ago. The capitol introduced the hunger games as a reminder to the twelve districts of its authority and punishment for rebellion. Every year a boy and a girl from each district, who are known as Tributes, and they are of aged between 12 and 18. The names are chosen randomly in reaping ceremonies. Primrose Everdeen is terrified because she will be reaped, “I know. I know. But it’s not. It’s not your first year Prim your name is only been there once they’re not going to pick you. Shhhh try to go to sleep”, (Ross, The Hunger Games) but her sister Katniss Everdeen calms her down. Primrose is chosen for the Hunger Games, but Katniss volunteers to enter the game. She chooses Peeta Mellark from the boys’ bowl. Tributes were cleaned up by their Prep team before sending in the competition. The next day they are sealed in the tube and sent to the arena. A battle to death starts, with the Capitol residents celebrating the slaughter of innocent young people in dreadful and unthinkable ways, while the Districts can only hope that their daughters and sons come back victorious.

In The Hunger Games, there are many significant plots show Katniss and Peeta try hard to overcome many difficulties. To begin, Katniss has a big conflict with Career Tributes who

The settings of these two books are different, because The Hunger Games mainly takes place in the arena, and “The Lottery” takes place in a public town spot. In “The Lottery”, there's really no romance, but in The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta are shown to the world as a couple. I think is actually a good tactic when trying to get sponsors and surviving because Peeta does protect Katniss and I believe he really does have feelings for her, as she does for him. Katniss is confused about her feelings for Gale, I think that she probably does care for Gale, but personally I think she cares for Peeta more. Otherwise why would she have risked her life for for him? Like when each district got a pack, and she ended up giving Peeta the sleeping syrup so she could go get the pack so Peeta could survive.

Katniss has an edge over many of the other tributes because she often lives not knowing if she is going to make it through the night. For years she has been responsible for the life or death of her family. She was devastated by the death of her father, though she recalls many of his fine talents and qualities. Throughout the training and the Games, she fights against feeling friendship for Peeta Mellark because she knows

While competing in the Hunger Games, Katniss is unsure if Peeta is on her side or not because he betrays her and joins the Careers; plotting to team up and kill the weak. This make Katniss extremely confused, causing her to be uncertain of whether or not she will be able to kill Peeta since he is her supposed star-crossed lover. She also debates with herself because she cannot decide if she is in love with Gale or Peeta. During the Hunger Games, Katniss becomes friends with Rue through the mocking jay pin. Rue is killed, but Katniss remembers her by using the wisdom that she learned from Rue.

The Hunger games is a young adult dystopian novel written by Suzanne Collins in 2008.

Each year the Capitol arranges The Hunger games were there are two tributes from each district, one girl and one boy between the age twelve and eighteen. The tributes have to fight to their death; the games are a reminder of the failed rebellion of the districts, which is known as the Dark Days.
