How Does Social Media Affect Katniss's Behavior

Another important idea that Katniss makes the audience think of is Love. She helps the audience see this because the main driving point of the novel is Katniss’s love for Prim. This is the reason she volunteered for her at the reaping and why she is in the Hunger Games in the first place. This love is shown when she buys Prim her goat, “She (Prim) was so excited she started crying and laughing all at once.” This tells us that Katniss was willing to spend her money on a goat for Prim that she could’ve spent on something else that would’ve given them better prospects or saved the money. Instead, she chose to give her sister something that she could look after, love and give her lasting memories of fun and happiness. Katniss also shows love for Peeta when she nurses him back to health in the cave. Even when she thought that their love was fictional she still fought to get to him and helped save his life when he was

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

As the novel progresses so does Katniss Everdeen.From the beginning to the end Katniss becomes compassionate,develops feelings for Peeta,and starts to believe in herself.Firstly in the beginning of the novel Katniss is only shown compassion for those she's close with only letting her wall down for a few people.All this changes when she is put into The Games where blood where blood is shed,a game with only one living victor.At the end of the novel Cato

During the weeks over which the Games occur, Katniss’ character does not essentially change. What changes are her circumstances, and most of the novel watches her dealing with the situations she encounters. She does not begin to seek attention once she becomes a celebrity and begins doing television interviews. Rather, she always tries to figure out how to get through the interviews so she can succeed in winning the games and go back to her life. The games do not turn her into an unsympathetic killer, and the only times she does kill, she does only because it was necessary. That her sense of compassion remains intact is clear through the way she treats Rue and kills Cato out of pity for his

The composer Suzanne Collins of ‘The Hunger Games’ demonstrates that Katniss is a good hero through her courageous qualities. This is evident through this quote “how could I leave prim, who is the only person in the world I am certain I love” (chapter 1 page 11). Katniss demonstrates loving and having lots of courage through volunteering pushing her sister and taking her place proving this is seen through these words “who is the only person in the world I am certain I love”. The effect of emotive language and short sentences making us feel the emotion of katniss like we are there and can hear her. We can hear through these effect s that katniss doesn't think about what going to happen next only caring about prims safety. Throughout this book we can see that katniss has a lot of other qualities.

To survive, Katniss practices stoicism where she manipulates her emotions to create the identity she needs. She has become accustom to this way of living, camouflaging her actions and concealing her true emotions to protect not only herself but also the ones she loves (Prim in this instance). She is

When one loves a person or thing dearly, then they have the tendency to do almost anything they can to protect and save them from whatever harm they come across. Katniss volunteered for the games knowing she was saving her sister from a terrible fate. She made a promise that she would try her best to win the Hunger Games, but her confidence in her own ability to kill another person was minimal. She did not want to get any blood on her hands but knew that in order to win she would be forced to. The author of Genocidal Killer, Crispin Sartwell recognized situations like these when he said, “your goodness, like mine, has little to do with who you are and everything to do with the social conditions you find yourself in” (Sartwell). The circumstance Katniss found herself in was full of violence, pain, and ruthlessness which further contributed to the tainting of her

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 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

Throughout The Hunger Games, cameras are placed everywhere to catch every moment of bloodshed and action. Katniss realizes Peeta is with the careers and she does not want to appear frightened or confused so instead she will “pause a second… Then I cock my head slightly to the side and give a knowing smile” (Collins p.164). The cameras are there to switch from a scene or moment that the Game makers do or do not want the people of the Districts or Capitol to see. That is where reality television is not truly reality any more, “people have accepted them as the kind of entertainment that they want” (Jones). The same can be said for reality shows on television. The

In the dystopian novel the Hunger Games Suzanne Collins emphasizes the excessive government control and surveillance, not only in the hunger games, but in contemporary America as well. Ever since the failed rebellion cameras and other methods of surveillance have been placed in Panem to prevent any other rebellions. Katniss is well aware of all the punishments that come after speaking out against the capitol. While Katniss is illegally hunting in the woods, she accidentally blurts out a statement against the capitol, and “then [she] glance[s] quickly over [her] shoulder” because “even [there], in the middle of nowhere, [she worries] someone might overhear [her]” (Collins 6).

At the beginning of the story Katniss was just a plane simple average girl that minded her own business until she had to volunteer for tribute. And she has likes a guy named Gale back home but she gets stuck with some guy named Peeta and he really liked her, and towards the end she started to like Peeta more and more.

According to Google.com a sociopath is a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. Many would say Katniss Everdeen is not a sociopath. They could say she has just been through a lot in her life, but she still has all or most of the qualities of a sociopath. Katniss is a sociopath; she is antisocial and she lies a lot, she kills without hesitation, she would sacrifice herself for loved ones no matter what, and she has many bad relationships. “Even if it means taking my own life,”(Collins, 42).

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 next scene is a heavy contrast to the first. In this scene we see Katniss hunting for food for her family and in doing so, assuming a role more commonly associated with males. In the lead up to the games she poses as a girl madly in love with the male tribute from her district in order to gain sponsors and attention from the Capital. She demonstrates intelligence in doing so because she knows that she is more likely to be accepted by the capital if she adopts a more feminine persona. It is only after the Games begin that Katniss demonstrates her natural talents, those more typically associated with a male character. She uses her hunting skills to her advantage by catching food and killing people when necessary. She also exhibits a wide range of knowledge which helps her to survive during the Games. Towards the end of the film, it has been made clear to the audience that whilst Katniss assumes a traditional female role when with her family or when it benefits her, her true character closely follows the characteristics typically seen in a traditional male gender
