Hunger Games Katniss

People visual that not all girls can be courageous when it comes to standing up for themselves or fighting for others, but in the novel "Hunger Games" Suzanne Collins states that Katniss Everdeen is courageous when it comes down to the family. People usually see that girls are weak and are easy to run over. Then there are people that look and see that girls are worth something and that are actually the strongest people you will meet. In Suzanne Collins "Hunger Games," she uses that Katniss Everdeen is courageous through the characteristics of Katniss going out hunting for food for her family, Katniss taking her sister place at the reaping, and Katniss fighting for herself and Peeta. One of the adventurous things that are shown through Katniss Everdeen is her going out hunting to get food for her and her family.

What Katniss does is a death sentence, but also an act of true love. “I protect Prim in every way I can, but i’m powerless against the reaping,” (pg.15). There are some hardness situation that we need to experienced and learn whatever they teach us. Life gave us many opportunities to meet new people and began a new relationship, but sometimes that love never becomes true. True love is the love that two sisters have that no matter what the situation is the oldest one takes the control of the situation and began acting us a mother, and with the only reason that she wants the best for her sister, and that is true love.

Katniss is the protagonist of the novel. She is a tough, self-sufficient, extremely loyal girl whose childhood was cut short by responsibility. After her father died, her mother sank into a deep depression, so it was up to Katniss to feed the family. One evening, she was going through others' trash in desperation when Peeta Mellark purposefully burned bread from his family's bakery and gave it to her. She feels like she owes him for that action, because after that she realizes the forest will be how to feed her family. She and her friend Gale regularly hunt wild game and gather food, selling some and keeping some for their families. Katniss dearly loves her younger sister Prim, so much so that she volunteers to go to the Hunger Games in Prim's place. Though Katniss could very easily feel bitter towards her more sheltered sister, instead she is fiercely protective of her. During the Games, this protectiveness transfers to another young tribute named Rue who Katniss grows very close too and mentors as she were an older sister to Rue.

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

Like in any typical hero movie, there is a call that the protagonist has to answer. In The Hunger Games, Katniss hears her calling when her sister, Prim is drawn to participate in the Hunger games. Knowing that Prim is definitely not a violent person, Katniss 's instincts kick in and she volunteers for her sister without

You are able to enter your name in an infinitely more times to get food which Katniss does every year. This year of the Hunger Games Prim is 12 and only puts her name in once. She is chosen and Katniss "...(I) Volunteer[s] as tribute". This means that she will take her sister's place and probable face certain death in the Games. She is a good sister and kept her sister alive and well in the place that Katniss will probably die.

“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.

In YA literature, authors tend to rely on set roles in a society to denote their characters and their characters’ motives, falling back to these established precedents to convey the driving forces behind their actions. Some novels have their protagonists alter certain aspects of their character throughout the course of the book to further their personal objectives, either through a clear delineation of this new development or by using surrounding elements to indicate an implied change. In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, the main protagonists’, Celia and Katniss, clothing are used as an outward representation of their changing roles in their respective current communities. Both characters also manipulate

Katniss Everdeen, the main character is seen in an incessant state of anguish, worrying about her beloved younger sister Prim, without the slightest concern for her own welfare, an idiosyncrasy that robustly contradicts with the typical perfect and flawless main character portrayed in almost all action/adventure films. The controversial scene then ends with the fearless Katniss Everdeen taking her sister’s place and volunteering for her in the Hunger Games after she had been conscripted. There are even ceaseless ties made between District 12 and World War II concentration camps ranging from the rag like clothing to the groups of hopeless children with guns aimed at their face, further deliberating Katniss’s initial mother like and selfish instincts when preferring to worry about her sister in an environment that can be related to a significant historical atrocity. As a set-up for the rest of the film, this sequence plays an important role in constructing the underlying theme of the film as a whole. The fact that Katniss finds her own empathy, sense of caring and compassion and her journey of going from a un-trusting and instinctive girl to a strong moraled, selfless woman that would rather die than take an innocent human life.

Katniss Everdeen is the main protagonist in Suzanne Collin's trilogy: The Hunger Games. She is highlighted by her responsibility, loyalty, morality, bravery, independence and her compassion towards others. Katniss becomes the victim of her totalitarian government and unwillingly becomes the center of a revolution. The hunger games trilogy tells the story of war and its effects on the innocent. Katniss’ strong qualities shine through the suffering of realistic consequences and outcomes. Her qualities of strength and bravery along with immense compassion is something I search to achieve.

16 year old Katniss Everdeen was born in District 12. Her father died in a coal mining accident when she was 11. He taught her how to hunt, and more importantly how to survive. After her father’s death, she assumed role of head in their home, and provided for her mother and sister. Her little sister Primrose is twelve. Katniss would do anything for her sister, and is more than willing to die for her. These traits are put front and center after Prim is chosen for the games. Katniss volunteers for her sister in the games. This shows just how deep love runs through her veins.

The Hunger Games is a film about survival, and when survival seems impossible there is only one thing left to count on: hope. When Katniss takes her sister’s place in the murderous free-for-all known as the Hunger Games, her life changes, and not for the better. Suddenly, Katniss finds herself in a world where killing is the only way to survive. Luckily, she has help along the way. A casual observer of the film is likely to notice the presence of many mentors in Katniss’ story, but that observation becomes more important when it is combined with the importance and relevance of hope.

The settings of the story of Katniss in the Hunger Games heavily affect what Katniss was thinking and doing. 2 setting that I will compare and contrast are the settings of District 12 and the Capitol. I Think that the setting of District 12 really affected how Katniss felt and acted. This is shown in the story when Katniss starts to talk about her father she explains how she has taken his place and feeds her family (Collins,Pages 4-5).
