Challenges Faced By Katniss Overwhelms

Other people in the games are obviously a restriction, figuring the game is mostly made for people to kill other people. Some of the things that was a challenge for Katniss was one of her allies, Rue, dying and The Careers, a group of players that are out to defeat her. The makers of the game also have many obstacles that make winning the Hunger Games very difficult. Walls of fire and a type of bug called tracker jackers were two things Katniss came upon on her journey of the game. Katniss faces many more challenges throughout the book as well. Seeing how difficult this experience was for Katniss makes you wonder who set this

Best-selling author Brandon Sanderson once said, “Sometimes the prize is not worth the costs. The means by which we achieve victory are as important as the victory itself”.

Katniss is able to overcome this adversity by having strong characteristics like her intelligence, resourcefulness and being courageous, these characteristics will be discussed throughout the essay outlining exactly why these characteristics help katniss in the games.

Much of the Hunger Games is centered around portraying a certain image, or identity if you will. The capital manipulates the weaknesses in their society and in their people to create an identity of unity and nationalism through the way they present the games to the districts of Panem. This idea of appearing to be one thing but really being another is ingrained in the society of Panem. District 12, in particular, maintains this image of complacency for the sake of survival, and Katniss is no exception to this.

In the novel “The Hunger Games” Suzanne Collins conveys the qualities of a hero through the main character Katniss Everdeen. The novel is based around a dystopian nation, in which is placed in Panem. Through which a boy and a girl from each district must take part in ‘The Hunger Games’ where they have to fight to the death, until there is one survivor. Katniss subsequently evolves as a significant hero portraying the heroic qualities such as selflessness, identity change and intelligence. Selflessness is shown as she puts others before herself, her identity changes as she has to put up a brave face, and intelligence is displayed as her strategies progress in the games.

“We had to save you because you're the Mockingjay, Katniss, says Plutarch. While you live, the revolution lives” (Collins). Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games is a complex character who epitomizes the archetype of a hero, however, she also shatters the mold by rebelling against the capital and endangering her whole family. She starts out as a hero to her family, especially her sister, and then becomes the symbol of strength to everyone. Katniss sacrifices herself by volunteering to join the Hunger Games in place of her sister, it is a game of survival where a boy and a girl from each district are forced to fight the other members of other districts to the death. By going out of her ordinary world and preparing to join a game where her life could be taken, she fits right into the archetype of a hero. Her bow and arrow, the weapon that only she can wield, will be the only things to help her survive. Despite these heroic qualities, Katniss makes an erroneous decision and blunder mistakes that shows the reader the flip side of Katniss.

Graff mentions in the book, is that individual humans are just tools, and the rest help us survive. Humans and especially Ender, is seen just as a weapon, not a six-year-old little boy.

The first act of discipline being used on the people in each district is the fact that their districts are kept inside fences, so they practically are kept in cages like animals.

The Puritans would adore the book “The Hunger Games” because of the hard working characters. Living without modern technology makes work hard for everybody.

Prior to the games, Katniss had never thought and didn't plan on ever killing a human.
