This realization triggers him to get her sponsors. Originally, Haymitch does not want to help or give them any type of advice or encouragement to surviving in the Hunger Games. He is just negative towards the whole situation. That changes when Katniss is injured by the fire outbreak. Haymitch watches how Katniss adapts and survives on her own. As a result, it makes him believe in her and have faith. He becomes helpful, caring, and encouraging. So when she gets injured, he makes it his duty to campaign for her and get her sponsors. When he fulfills this duty, he becomes proud and has a different outlook on the Hunger Games. If Haymitch never spoke to sponsors on the behalf of Katniss; Katniss would have died from her injury. This means that Haymitch would have never regained his faith and hope and Katniss would have never won the Hunger Games. This is important in the movie because it displays Haymitch going from a mean, unhopeful man to caring and fulfilling his purpose in the film. Haymitch shows character evolution when he steps out of his stern mentality to help Katniss get
Throughout the novel you can see her other acts of care, such as when she takes 12 year old Rue under her wing in the middle of the games, and also how she refuses to leave Peeta when he is injured. “I can almost hear Haymitch groaning as I team up with this wispy child. But I want her. Because she’s a survivor, and I trust her, and why not admit it? She reminds me of Prim” (pg 201). In this quote the author Suzanne Collins is showing that Katniss is teaming up with Rue, rather than killing her, which is what would get her farther in the Games but she doesn’t because she reminds her of Prim, and wants to protect her.
The film the hunger games is a science fiction/thriller film which is directed by Gary Ross, the film is about a once North America country which is now known as panem and the capitol has to maintain control over the district, they do this by holding the hunger games which is an event when they choose 2 tributes from each district a boy and a girl which fight to the death which is publicly televised, but the capital allow one winner for the district to have hope, throughout the film there are many characters which I feel sympathy, likeability, negative characterises and character development about but the main two which I feel the most sympathy towards Peeta and Katniss.
In the Book The hunger games Katniss Everdeen faces overwhelming adversity when she finds herself found in the clutches of the capital stuck in the hunger games. Katniss is able to overcome this adversity by having strong characteristics like her intelligence, resourcefulness and being courageous, these characteristics will be discussed throughout the essay outlining exactly why these characteristics help katniss in the games.
The main characters in the story are Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, President Snow, Gale, Katniss's mom and sister. Katniss is the girl who was volunteered to take her sisters place in the Hunger Games 12 months ago and. Peeta is the guy who was reaped to participate in the Hunger Games with Her.

He is their mentor and the one who will tell and show them tactics to survive in the Hunger Games and also teaches them what the Hunger Games does to you so they could manage to survive are the significance of Haymitch to Peeta and Katniss.
Haymitch was born in the futuristic world on January 1st, 34 ADD. He was born in the 12th district of Panem. The 12th district is located in what was formerly known as the Appalachian Mountains, and is commonly known for their coal industry. I assume that prior towards Haymitch entering the games, he would hunt, sell his catch, and go to school. School and hunting is where Haymitch learned skills that will prove to help him in the games. In addition, he learned how to out smart and think of better solutions on the fly. Haymitch is very strong and handy with a knife. In addition to his strength he is very intelligent. Being that he lived in Panem, no one under the age of 18 was allowed to take on a job, except for the people that live in the Capitol. The Capitol prays on the weak and poor for entertainment. In addition, I think this is another way that the Capitol tries to oppress the people of Panem.
On to the actual Games themselves. Twenty-four tributes (strangers at that), two from each district, released onto a battlefield for a televised fight to the death for the entertainment and enjoyment of the Capitol. These Games went on for weeks, with several tributes dying each day. From the beginning alliances were made to kill off the remaining participants and have the rest of the Games to themselves, and sadly Katniss was one of the targets. Yet she was determined to stay alive and to keep Peeta alive, even though he aligned himself with the majority group for a short while. As the Games progressed, even before the Games began, a story developed between Katniss and Peeta: a love story. A love story that spread across Panem like wildfire, so much that the two were dubbed “star-crossed lovers.” This had everyone rooting for Katniss and Peeta, for one of them to be the winner of the Hunger Games. Whether it was real or fake for Katniss, she was not sure at the time; she just wanted to make it out alive and take Peeta with her.
While preparing for the Hunger games, Katniss and Peeta meet their mentor Haymitch who gives them advice. At the start of the games, only 11 of the contestants survive and Katniss decides to stay far away from the others to survive as long as she can in the game. This plan fails because the man controlling the game creates a forest fire where Katniss is staying; this forces her to stay closer to the others. She meets up with her partner Peeta who has already made them some allies in the game. The next day Katniss watches one of her allies (Rue) cut down a wasp’s nest, which lands on some of the other contestants, most of them escape but one of them dies from the venom.

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability.

The Hunger Games are literally a fight to the death in which each of the 12 districts sends too tributes, one male and one female.
