'What Gone Girl Is Really About'

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.

First I’ll talk about Peeta and Katniss’s feelings for each other. Katniss never knew Peeta, they weren’t even neighbors, and they never talked to each other. For sure Peeta wanted to talk to her but he was to nervous to speak. Since he had a big crush on her ever since he laid eyes on her. Unlike Katniss, she had intention talking to him. Until that one day he gave her a half loaf of bread when it was raining. Otherwise, him getting smacked in the face by his mother, before throwing the loaf of bread into the road.

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.

A character which I feel sympathy for in the film the hunger games is Peeta mellark. Peeta is a son of a baker from district 12, he has two brothers and lives with his mother and father. Peeta is a very compassionate person and is good with words. He has been in love with Katniss Everdeen since the age of 5, but never said anything to her and did not confess his love for her until he was reaped alongside her in the 74th hunger game at an interview. Peeta was first seen in the film in the reaping of the hunger games when he was selected as the male tribute for District 12 for the 74th hunger games in this scene there was a close up of him and followed him to the stage the scene was dark and as Katniss recognizes him instantly knowing that he was the boy who throws her the bread so that she could feed her

Another heroic quality of Katniss is affection, love and determination. She shows these qualities through the quote “ you're not going to die.” “ I forbid it.” Katniss uses the technique of dialogue and description. The effect that it has on us ( the reader ) is how she shows her love and generosity towards Peeta. Katniss is determined to keep Peeta alive and has the urge to win.

Another way that illustrates how Katniss is depending on others for survival is Katniss’s relationship with Peeta. Peeta is one of the competitors in the games but he secretly loves Katniss and without him Katniss may have not been able to make

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.

While competing in the Hunger Games, Katniss is unsure if Peeta is on her side or not because he betrays her and joins the Careers; plotting to team up and kill the weak. This make Katniss extremely confused, causing her to be uncertain of whether or not she will be able to kill Peeta since he is her supposed star-crossed lover. She also debates with herself because she cannot decide if she is in love with Gale or Peeta. During the Hunger Games, Katniss becomes friends with Rue through the mocking jay pin. Rue is killed, but Katniss remembers her by using the wisdom that she learned from Rue.

She suppresses her tears multiple times to not be seen as an easy target. She even fakes her love towards Peeta during the whole games and plays her role so well that even Peeta believed in her. She chose a character and had to keep playing it for the people at home. The cameras always focused on the romantic relationship between Katniss and Peeta, but their relation wasn't really what it seemed like. At the end of the book, during tHe last interview and the viewing of the highlights of the Games, Katniss notices that this year, for the first time, the highlights focus on their love story. She now knows what the audience sees, and helps us understand that the Games are not what they look like. The Hunger Games twist our perception of appearance and reality, depending of the way we see

And so am I” (Collins pg.236-237). Katniss’s identity changes during the games when she tries to make the audience like her by being madly in love in Peeta when she had mixed feelings for him. Peeta’s identity does not change during the games he knew that the games will

Katniss after that started having illusions.When the illusions were over she went out to hunt for food. After Rue,dies with a spear in her stomach Katniss finds out about a new rule. The new rule was that two tributes could win the Games as long as they were from the same district. After that Katniss showed loyalty to Peeta by taking care of his leg and the tracker stings. When Katniss went to the Cornucopia she was injured and Peeta woke up and found her lying in a huge pile of blood he took care of her until she awoke. Katniss and Peeta then used friendship to win the

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins shows the story of a teenage girl rebelling against her government. Along side of this, Suzanne has involved a very important relationship between the two characters, Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen. This essay will be an exploration of how Katniss was hesitant towards Peeta at first but grows into a trusting connection between each other. The development of this relationship starts at the start of the Hunger Games books where Katniss does not find Peeta as a friend but as an acquaintance that could be a possible asset towards her. This is shown after Haymitch tells her “It's a television show, and being in love with that boy might just get you sponsors which could save your damn life,” This occurs after Peeta expresses his love for her to the whole nation of Panem.
