Without Katniss Everdeen the Hunger Games trilogy would simply be incomplete. Through Katniss the author of the trilogy, Stephanie Meyer was able to create a powerful symbol for the revolution of Panem. She goes through all the major conflicts and despite there being many supporting characters who play a smaller role in them as well she is the main protagonist. All three novels are written in her point of view so the reader feels as if they are experiencing the revolution and the 74th and 75th Hunger Games along with her. Katniss Everdeen is the most important character in the Hunger Games trilogy due to her being symbolic of the revolution, constantly beating the capital and the fact that the story is written in her viewpoint.

There are books about mighty and brave people that do daring things. There are also books about intelligent people who do incredible things. The Science Fiction trilogy, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, combines these themes to create a suspenseful book that is not only interesting, but is fun to read.

One of the bravest things Katniss did came during the start of the book in chapter 2.
1. Character: A character in the story “The Hunger Games” is Katniss Everdeen. She is a tough character who loves her family and will do anything for them and that includes fighting in the Hunger Games, which is supposed to have one winner who lives. She is strong and knows how to use a bow and arrow quite well with excellent accuracy.
“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.
Suzanne Collins demonstrates that the heroine Katniss is a good hero in “The Hunger Games” through bravery, inner strength and compassion. This is expressed through emotive language, repetition and descriptive language.

She knew that she had to be strong and able enough to take care of her little sister and at least make sure her mother would drink water and eat. When Katniss was leaving for the games she tells her mother to be strong for Prim because she would not be there anymore to make sure all of her needs were fulfilled. Even though hunting especially behind the fence is illegal and punishable by death, Katniss still does it to get her and Gale’s family exactly what they need to survive.
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.
