Comparing Katniss And The Polar Opposite Couple

In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the main character and protagonist is 16 year old Katniss Everdeen, a strong and selfless young woman who is far more mature than her age suggests. As the main provider for her family after her father died, Katniss had to become responsible and resourceful at a young age, which forced her to participate in rebellious behavior in order to keep her family alive. She is an unselfish and protective character, putting herself in danger in order to keep the ones she loves safe, especially for her little sister Primrose. Even after the pain and hardships she has had to go through not only in the games, but in her life, Katniss maintains her

In the Book The hunger games Katniss Everdeen faces overwhelming adversity when she finds herself found in the clutches of the capital stuck in the hunger games. 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.

Imagine living in a world where man hunts man for sport or are made to kill each other in a publicly televised event. These are the world's that the characters Rainsford and Katniss live in. In the book A Most Dangerous Game the character Rainsford finds himself on an island where a man named General Zaroff hunts him and many more before him, for sport. In the movie The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen lives in a world where people are split up into twelve different districts. The government takes two people, a boy and a girl, from each district and throws them into an arena to fight to the death. Rainsford and Katniss both possess the skills and traits of a true survivor. These skills and traits are using intelligence over strength, showing compassion to others, and triumphing over those who only use strength.

As time passes in a relationship, it is inevitable that confrontations are bound to occur. Whether small disagreements created from minor issues, to mediocre arguments based on daily matters, to serious incidents that can reflect relationship taboos, it is a couple’s perception and understanding of each other that can strengthen or weaken their union. The poem “How It Will End” by Denise Duhamel portrays two couples involved in similar matters as those previously described. One couple is having, what appears to be, an argument at the beach and the second couple is watching them from afar, as they’re on a boardwalk. As the poem progresses, the second couple’s assumptions of what

The definition of a hero has been moulded and changed over time, but all heroes have shared some qualities, constructing our archetypal hero. Katniss, the 'hero' from Suzanne Collins, 'The Hunger Games' challenges and confirms our views of a typical hero. She has events like a heroes journey and a tough upbringing, but she also has conflicting attributes like simply not being a male. Suzanne Collins has created a complex character, who doesn't strictly fit into the mould of a hero.

“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.

Succeeding Katniss’s rescued from the previous hunger games, it is revealed that she is living in district 13 (which was believed to be non-existent) with the rest of district 12, who were bombed. President coin pressures her into becoming the face of the revolution, the Mockingjay, which she accepts after she sees Peeta, who is captured by the capitol, acting as a traitor. While seeing another broadcast of Peeta, he warns Katniss that district 13 is about to be bombed, and that they will be dead by morning. After it is deemed safe to leave the underground bomb shelter, Gale and other rebels make a plan to rescue Peeta as well as Annie, who are hostages by president

The phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to catch fire worldwide with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Katniss Everdeen is found in District 13 after she destroys the games forever. Under the direction of President Coin and the reliance on her trusted friends and family, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta and Panem. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is better than its forerunners.

In the novel, The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, the reasons for Katniss and Peeta's winning the Game was all thanks to the help of their team. Their team has helped them, Katniss and Peeta, by training them at their sessions, helping them get their sponsors, and keeping them alive while being in the Game.

Katniss meets a girl named Rue and they become really good friends. Rue is good at climbing trees and she know how to use herbal medicine. Katniss and Rue decide that they are going to set the Careers camp site on fire. As they were setting things on fire Katniss' jacket caught on fire and she burnt her hand and her leg. Katniss and Rue go to the lake and Katniss lays on her stomach and puts her hand in the water. Lets now talk about Rue and where she comes from. Rue comes from District 11 where they do all there agriculture. She learned how to whistle to her people through the Mocking jays. This is why she trusts Katniss because of the Mockingjay pin. What I liked about these chapters was how Rue and Katniss became friends. It reminds me of

Imagine being put into an arena having to fight for your life within twelve districts, each district having two candidates having to fight for their lives only having one person to come out as the winner. Having been unwound by your parents because they feel like you have reached your peak in life, and that you cannot go any further within your life, or that you get into too much trouble and that they feel like your time has come. Between these two things they are pretty terrible to happen to one another and not being able to control you’re on fate. Between these two comparisons you can have multiple setting and characters that you can compare.

“From the moment Katniss takes her sister's place as tribute for District 12, then, she is forced to play the part of a reality television star. Cameras are on her at every moment of the hoopla, as we come to find out that in these Games, image is everything” (Shmoop). Every tribute is assigned a prep team to prepare the tribute for the Hunger Games and other events. Each team beautifies the tributes according to the Capitol's standards (Wiki). Katniss's prep team consists of Flavius, Venia, and Octavia. Katniss`s prep team are one of the first people to give her any taste of Capitol fashion and beauty ideals. These 3 people are under the head stylist, Cinna. Katniss trusts Cinna more than Flavius, Venia, and Octavia, because Cinna doesn't seem as fake to Katniss than the other 3 prep team members. Flavius, Venia, and Octavia seem more fake because of their appearance and how they act. The prep team

I think this song is so relatable to Katniss because for a while she literally lived thanks to the people´s applauses and support. She received food, weapons and basic needs from all the watchers of the games. Just like the artist sang “I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong/To crash the critic saying, “Is it right or is it wrong?” All the participants are expected to complete the public

My favorite part of the Hunger Games is when Katniss attacks the Career tributes with a tracker jacker nest. When Katniss is stuck in a tree, Rue alerts her that a tracker jacker nest is above her head. Katniss is frightened, but then realizes that she can saw off the branch the tracker jacker nest is attached to. She tries to saw it off while the anthem plays, but is unable to before the anthem stops playing. She goes to bed and wakes up the next day, ready to saw off the branch. She alerts Rue what she is doing and gets to work. Katniss gets stung once, then completely saws off the branch. She pushes the branch as far as she can away from herself, and then the nest pops open on the ground. The Career tributes awake to a full-scale tracker

In many works of literature, it is often a crucial component for characters to sacrifice opportunities that arise in their lives in order to help loved ones. In Suzanne Collin’s “The Hunger Games,” protagonist Katniss Everdeen sacrifices the chance to live her own life in order for her sister, Primrose Everdeen, to not experience potential death in the arena. Another character that has similar attributes to Katniss Everdeen would be Pari II in Khaled Hosseini’s, “And the Mountains Echoed.” This novel depicts a strong relationship between parents and a daughter that results in missed opportunities due to the health risks that have developed in the parents. The fundamental values of such a character have developed through years of witnessing
