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.

The theme in The Hunger Games is that love keeps people alive. In the book love, saved Katniss, her family, and Peeta several times. During her childhood, there was a time when Katniss and her family where starving. Luckily Peeta liked Katniss, so he threw her some bread when he saw she was starving. This small gesture of love saved Katniss and her family. Also, In the Games when Cato was about to kill Katniss, Peeta battled him and saved her because he loved her. Otherwise Katniss would be killed by Cato or the rest of the careers while she was passed out. Lastly, Katniss's love for Prim got her more motivated to win the Games. Without Katniss Prim and her mother would starve so Katniss needed to survive in the Games so Prim and her mother would survive. Being more motivated by this Katniss also saves Peeta's life by healing him up and getting the medicine for him.

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

I know that, because that was when they were in the arena separated from each other at the time. But no thanks to Katniss, all she has done is manage not to kill Peeta. But whatever Peeta has done in the arena, he must have the audience convinced to keep her alive.

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.

Katniss and Peeta have to work even harder to overcome the bias against them and win the hearts of the sponsors and the crowd. Being as poor as they are comes with some benefits and some disadvantages. They have been under fed most of their lives which means they are skinny and weak compared to the other tributes. Living in district 12 also gives them the natural sense of survival. Katniss spends a lot of time hunting to survive which is basically what the hunger games are. Peeta also uses skills from his trade, like his cake decorating, to give him an upper hand in the games. Just like in their everyday lives Katniss and Peeta are spending every waking moment during the games fighting to survive. Because of the social class system set up by the Capitol people are treated very unfairly based on where they were born.

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.

“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.

Research Paper During the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” It is inferred that he believed that revolution could only be triumphant if there were violence and sacrifices. Many would argue that a solution can be attained through peace and non-violent practices. The theory of civil disobedience coincides with the concept of non-violent protesting.

The dystopian protagonist that is present in the Hunger Games is Katniss Everdeen. “Finally, I am too restless to even stay in bed. I pace the floor, heart beating too fast, breathing too short. My room feels like a prison cell. I run down hall to the door to the roof. The energy field enclosing the roof prevents any desperate form of escape” (Collins 148) Katniss is often struggling to escape or feels like she’s trap, she knows that she’s a tribute in the hunger games and is afraid that she will never see her family again if she doesn’t come out as the victor. Through Katniss’s perspective you can easily recognize that there is something wrong with the society that she lives in. “ I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to show the Capitol whatever they do or force us to do there is a part of every tribute they can’t own” (Collins 237). Katniss knows that the Capitol is cruel and wrong for having the hunger games, forcing the tributes to kill one another

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

To bring us to speed here is a recap of the story thus far: Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) a resident of the impoverished mining province of District 12, controlled by the dictator of the Capitol President Snow. As punishment for a past rebellion, the Capitol requires all 12 districts to nominate two teenage “tributes”—one girl and one boy—to participate in the Hunger Games. These games are played to-the-death with only one survivor. In the previous movie, Katniss volunteered in place of her sister who was chosen to represent District 12. The male tribute, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), a young baker was chosen as the male tribute. The catch is that Peeta has been in love with Katniss from when they were both young. She uses this emotion

Katniss witness first hand how privileged the Capitol is over her district. Upon starting the journey as being a tribute, Katniss reflects on an inability to support her family back home. “What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to roll in and die for their entertainment?”

Katniss and Peeta emerge as the only two remaining contestants in The Hunger Games after Cato’s death, but the Gamemakers revoke their previous rule change which had allowed two winners from the same district. Katniss quickly realizes that “They never intended to let us both live. This has all been devised by the Gamemakers to guarantee the most dramatic showdown in history,” a fight to the death between the supposed star-crossed lovers whom fans all over the Capitol had come to adore (342). Throughout the novel, Katniss establishes an “unwavering” reputation for herself as a fighter, but more importantly as a relentless survivor. She will do, what it seems, almost anything it takes to stay alive, and this often includes deceiving Peeta

The Hunger Games is full of violence, murder, and profanity but the theme of it is hope. Hope is expecting or desire for certain things to happen. When you look at the Games where the Capitol can execute 24 children each year but they let them fight to give them hope. In the darkness of the Games, Peeta is the one who gave Katniss hope by being by her side wanting them to win gave her someone to believe in. “ I don’t want them to change me in there.
