The boy tribute that is from her district is Peeta Mellark who she knew from long ago. Peeta confessed to the public that he loves her and that begins their friendship. Throughout the games, she watches as tributes are killed and a young girl named Rue is murdered. When this happens, Katniss kills Rue’s attacker. This is the first time that she has ever killed a person, so she takes it very hard. Rue was not only Katniss’s ally but her friend, she was Prim’s age and reminded her of her sister. So, when Rue was killed it struck Katniss deeply. By the end of the games she has come to love Peeta back and it comes down to the two of them. They refuse to kill each other, so they decided to eat berries that are poisonous but the capitol has to have a victor, so the capitol announces that they are both victors. When she did this, it was a direct punch to the capitol and it ignited a spark in the people, that began the process of a revolution. After she returns home, she realizes what her actions caused and that is the real reason that she went there. She was destined to be the Mockingjay, or the leader of the revolution against the capitol. She realizes that she is the only way that the people will unite and fight to

Peeta helps Katniss later on in the games after the members of his alliance are killed. They fake their love for each other in order for both of them to survive. Rue shows Katniss how to get rid of the people camped below her. After Katniss gets stung by very dangerous bees she passes out and Rue helps heal the bee stings. 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. Characters that try to prevent her from staying alive are the Game Makers. They will try to steer the competitors away from the edge of the arena with bizarre

She starts off the games alone and then she teams up with Rue a young girl district 11. The partnership between Katniss and Rue is tragically cut short when Rue is killed by Marvel after they had destroyed the careers supplies. after Rue's death, Katniss still misses her and wished she could have still been alive" I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the Mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim.” When Rue died Katniss lay flowers around her body, this could be taken as a sign of rebellion as the tributes are not meant to mourn the dead in the games and giving Rue a funeral was not something that the Capitol wanted her to do. Later when a new rule is introduced saying that there can be two victors from one district Katniss begins to think that maybe both she and Peeta can survive. Katniss begins to pretend to be in love with Peeta to put on a show to please the audience although she does care for him as she risks her life to get the bag to save his life. towards the end of the games, Katniss shoots Cato with an arrow to end his life in doing so she ended the games and denying the people a show and cementing the fact that she is becoming a

18. “Came to redeem an unworthy world.” The world that is the reality for Peeta, Katniss and the rest of the districts is filled with extreme inequality, hardships and suffering. Traditionally, there is only one sole winner of the annual Hunger Games. Through an act of defiance against the Capitol both Peeta and Katniss threatened to kill themselves. Later on in the series Peeta joins a rebellion group in an effort to redeem the nasty world the Capitol

Katniss and Peeta were able to kill Cato. Katniss and Peeta encountered Cato on the Cornucopia as they escaped from the muttations. “Cato has made a beeline for the Cornucopia, and without question I follow him. If he thinks it’s the safest place, who am I to argue? ” (Collins 327). Katniss shot an arrow in which Peeta was able to push Cato off of the Cornucopia even though Peeta was bleeding from his leg, which resulted in Cato being attacked by Muttations. Katniss and Peeta are not able to kill each other. The death of Cato leads Katniss and Peeta to kill each other, however because they can not do so, they choose a double suicide in which they end up as the victors of the Hunger Games. “We both know they have to have a victor. Yes, they have to have a victor. Without a victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers’ faces. They’d have failed the Capitol. Might possibly even be executed, slowly and painfully while the cameras broadcast it to every screen in the country. If Peeta and I were both to die, or they thought we were…” (Collins 339). As they were both about to die they heard “the frantic voice of Claudius Templesmith shouts above them. “Stop! Stop! Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victors of the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark! I give you — the tributes of District Twelve!” (Collins 340). Collins showed that Katniss and Peeta were willing to kill themselves as opposed to killing each

Each year there is one male and one female chosen from each district to participate in the annual Hunger Games. Prime, Katniss, Gale, and Peeta are all from district 12 and when the time comes to pick a participant, Prime, Katniss’s sister is chosen. Katniss then volunteers to take over for her beloved sister, and Peeta is chosen from the boys side. They are then rushed to the capital to start their training for the games. Peeta works at the bakery so he is good at camouflage and throwing heavy things. Katniss if very good at archery and with a bow. Their job is to get sponsors while they are at the capital. When they go in to be evaluated, Katniss shocks the sponsors by shooting an arrow into the apple in a man’s hand when they underestimated her. That earned her a very high evaluation score and more sponsors. Peeta then claims to have a crush on Katniss in hopes of making her look more desirable to get more sponsors as well. While being pitted against tributes that have trained for this for their entire lives, people from the capital and all over are watching the games on a television. Katniss relies on her ability to shoot a bow and knowledge of hunting while hiding from the

The games were biased as they were set to entertain a few individuals in authority while everyone else suffered the death consequences or the loss of a loved one. It also shows how Katniss a lady from a humble background defies the norms and laws of the capitol, specifically the President as she decides not to kill Peeta and become the last survivor. Most people in different Districts did not approve of the The Hunger Games as they were unfair but lacked the courage to voice out their concerns in fear of the consequences (). Katniss displays positive attributes; sacrifice by taking the place of her younger sister in the games and bravery and defiance of the norms by saving Peeta. The theme of inequality in the movie addresses the social classes that define modern society. The dictators enrich themselves and continue growing richer while the poor suffer and continue to drown in

On to the actual Games themselves. Twenty-four tributes (strangers at that), two from each district, released onto a battlefield for a televised fight to the death for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Capitol. These Games went on for weeks, with several tributes dying each day. From the beginning alliances were made to kill off the remaining participants and have the rest of the Games to themselves, and sadly Katniss was one of the targets. Yet she was determined to stay alive and to keep Peeta alive, even though he aligned himself with the majority group for a short while. As the Games progressed, even before the Games began, a story developed between Katniss and Peeta: a love story. A love story that spread across Panem like wildfire, so much that the two were dubbed “star-crossed lovers.” This had everyone rooting for Katniss and Peeta, for one of them to be the winner of the Hunger Games. Whether it was real or fake for Katniss, she was not sure at the time; she just wanted to make it out alive and take Peeta with her.

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

As and only a deal, she requests that the leader of District 13, President Coin, to protect all of the winners of The Hunger Games, who were captured and imprisoned in the Capitol. She also demands to execute President Snow herself. Clinched alongside a brave rescue, Peeta and the others were saved from the Capitol. Though, Peeta has been brainwashed under hating Katniss, and tries to kill her upon their gathering or reunion in District 13. The rebels take control of all the districts and start an ambush on the Capitol itself, which Katniss may be a part of.

Katniss and everyone else in the other Districts all realize this, but are unable to do anything due to the size and power of the Capital. That all changes when Katniss participates in the Hunger Games. She knows the power of the Capital and is going to break them from the inside. She is going to completely change who she is, a fighter with instincts with survival, to a girl who is fallen in love with her fellow tribute from the same District, Peeta. She is playing with the emotions of the people in the Capital to get them to love her and Peeta.

Unlike the British in India or Pakistan, France dug in its heels and sent half a million troops to combat rebellions, but that just further inspired the revolutionaries (Bentley 895). They kept fighting the Algerian rebels instead of avoiding violence. One man who helped motivate insurrection was a man named Frantz Fanon who supported Algerian independence, specifically by using of violence (Bentley 896). In The Wretched of the Earth, he said “violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction”.

After a couple of weeks training in the Capitol the games finally started. In the arena of the games, crazy things happen each day because the game maker is trying to killing off the other tributes, as well as Peeta and Katniss. The game maker wasn’t choosing a winner, but making crazy events happen in the arena made it easier for each tribute get closer to each other so they could try to kill one another. During half of the games, the game maker changed the rules just a little bit. Instead of having just one winner, they changed it where there could be two winners as long as they were from

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

In the beginning, Katniss is living the hard life of her district. She goes to school and hunts so that her family has food. She has a younger sister named Prim and a mother, however it is time for the reaping which is when the Capitol picks names out of a bucket for one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death tournament where the winner gets fame and fortune. Prim gets chosen to participate in the games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place(22). A boy from their district named Peeta also gets chosen and Katniss realizes that he had given her bread when she didn’t have food for her family. They go to the Capitol and meet their mentor, Haymitch(56), who helps them train, then they go into the arena and battle. Peeta joins up with some Careers, children that trained for the Hunger Games all their lives, and tries to win but then he betrays them. The Gamemakers make a rule change and say that two tributes from the same district can win together so Katniss finds Peeta and helps him because he has been injured. After they are the only two people left the Gamemakers change the rule back to force Katniss and Peeta to fight each other, rather than fight, Katniss takes some poisonous berries, called Nightlock, she found in the arena and gives half of
