The Hunger Games, By Effie Trinket, An Escort For The District Twelve Tributes

Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist in The Hunger Game series, is one of the survivors of the hunger game. Katniss comes from district 12, the poorest area in the whole countries. The character’s image is tough and strong because she wants to protect her family from any dangers. Therefore, she volunteers to replace her sister in the hunger game to protect her. She even become the symbol of resistance (the Mockingjay) of the war to the Capitol during the revolution. For people in the Panem, Katniss is the victor of the hunger game, the hope, who survives from the torture and poverty. The image of Katniss represents people who fight for survival in the real world. People sometimes need to give up something when they faced difficulty, like Katniss, she makes efforts to fight with the government.

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.

“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.

The Hunger Games, a novel by Suzanne Collins, is the story of 16 years old, Katniss Everdeen, who fights to death for her district. The Hunger Games is an event hosted every year by the Capitol of Panem, where a randomly chosen boy and girl both need to represent each of the twelve districts that the capitol is composed of. When Katniss little sister, Prim, is chosen to be the representative for District twelve, Katniss volunteers to take her place and fight along her male counterpart, Peeta. The reason I choose this book for my book report is because Katniss is not your typical 16 year old girl. Not only is she her family’s provider but she’s also skillful, strong, rebellious, and unsentimental heroine. These are characteristics that society would mostly link to a 16 year old boy rather than a girl.

Neither of these characters expected to be put into the role of care giver for another person but despite the setback they both overcame and did what they had to do to care for those who needed them. In the Hunger Games Katniss is considered something new and unheard of. She stands out as a strong female not afraid to do what she needs to do to strive and care for herself and the needs of others, and make it out of the game. She’s the character in the story that leaves you wanting to know more, “She’s active, she’s strong and she’s the girl who motivates the story.”

The Hunger Games is a futuristic film that shows how society accepts diverse norms which are in no way fair or moral. The Hunger Games was set by a governing body as ‘hunger games’ which are used to entertain the general public in times of crisis. The movie is directed by Gary Ross and was released in 2012. In the movie citizens of Panem between the ages of 12 and 18 years of age are mandatorily required to participate in The Hunger Games if they were selected. The games are annual and televised consisting of different tributes from various Districts who fight to the death until there is only one survivor left. Jennifer Lawrence acts as Katniss Everdeen in the movie. She is a young lady from a small town known as District 12. She voluntarily

The first reason I think katniss is important is because she is brave. In the book katniss is brave because she fights the capital in the which has happened in the past but failed but katniss actually ends up destroying the capital which is a really brave thing to do. Another example of katniss being brave is actually fighting in the hunger games and not just doing nothing. When she first went in she wasn't going to hurt anyone but she started to get more brave towards the end. This evidence show that katniss is brave because she fights for her life without getting hurt really at all. She's not afraid to do dangerous stuff like fighting the capital and going outside the fence at district 12. In conclusion I think katniss is important because she is brave.

Economics is the study of scarcity within a systems of rules. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins’ can be translated into such, with hunger being scarcity and games being a system of rules. In the Hunger Games, we are introduced to a country called Panem. The country of Panem is divided into twelve different districts and the Capitol, where the government resides. Each district has their own different specializations and they have distinctive economies. The government regulates the trade and each district rely on trade from each other district and the Capitol for the goods they don 't produce. All of the districts and the Capitol is interdependent.

Particularly in the novel, The Hunger Games, the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, showed valor that contributed to the overall meaning of the story. It was the day of the long-anticipated, annual Hunger Games Reaping. One boy and one girl would be chosen to compete amongst twenty-two other teenagers to the death in the violent Hunger Games. After the escort, Effie Trinket, chose the boy victim, a boy named Peeta Mellark, she reached into the bowl to pick a girl. She read aloud the name “Primrose Everdeen”, who was Katniss’s gentle, beloved younger sister. “Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper, and reads out the name in a clear voice. And it’s not me. It’s Primrose Everdeen” (20). Upon hearing this Katniss’s stomach drops and she is full of fear. So she rapidly volunteered to take her sister’s place and compete in the Hunger Games instead. This took an immense amount of courage because she was endangering her own life for the sake of her sister’s. Also, since her entire “district” was watching, and everything was broadcasted on national television, she was willing to do this in front of the entire and only country she knew,

The theme of survival is first demonstrated by Katniss Everdeen, the female tribute from district 12. The first example is when she hunts in the woods beyond the border of district 12 for food to feed her family. In chapter 1 it shows how district 12 is very poor and Katniss goes out to the woods almost every day to hunt for food to feed her family and trade for goods.This shows that Katniss will kill and break the law to survive and not starve.(Collins 6-7). Another example is when Katniss is in the Hunger Games and she shoots the boy from district one in the head. Demonstrated in chapter 18 when Rue gets stabbed and Katniss shoots at the boy before he could throw another spear. This part of the book shows how fast Katniss's reflexes are when she is endangered or threatened.(Collins 230).

In literature, a hero must leave their familiar life and enter an unknown area where they would endure many obstacles faced upon her.. In the novel, The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen was forced into a new adventure where she had to fight for her life, public uprising was a theme that was represented throughout the entire novel by Katniss’ actions and heroic efforts.

Katniss was the kind of person that put the greater good in first place. She knew what was right and wrong. She never went with the status quo. Her dad was killed in a mine explosion and her mom was a little crazy. This forced Katniss to become an adult at an early age. She learned the meaning of family and did not take that lightly. Katniss learned to hunt and catch food, so that her family could survive.

Since her father died in a coal mine accident, Katniss, who was only 11, had to provide food for her family to keep them from starvation. After all of the hardships she encountered in District 12, Katniss still gathered the strength to volunteer for her little sister, Prim, and win the Hunger Games. I also admired her act of rebellion in the arena, when Katniss picked up the Nightlock berries and rationed it between her and Peeta. She knew that the Gamemakers needed to have a victor, or else they would’ve been punished for failing the Capitol. Katniss was courageous enough to start a revolution, which shows the reader that you shouldn’t be afraid to speak up when you are

In the “Hunger Games”, citizens in thirteen districts are subordinates to the citizens of the capital. These subordinates were forced to work for the capital and were given no mercy — there were public beatings for crimes and even their kids were killed on a comical television show for the capital citizens. These ideas, which Suzanne Collins used in her book, can be traced to our own past. Similar to the forced labor and abuse the Capital imposed on the district members in the “Hunger Games”, blacks in early United States were treated very poorly. Ironically, many people living in the United States after the Revolutionary War were still oppressed, slavery still existed, and discrimination was prevalent. Slavery did get banned in the

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
