Katniss In The Hunger Games, By Suzanne Collins

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

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.

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

Katniss Everdeen lives a life that is based on her ability to survive long before she becomes a participant in the Hunger Games. The death of Katniss’s father left Katniss to provide for her mother and her sister, Prim.

Every year a competition is held where one girl and one boy, ages 12-18, from each District is chosen for a game of survival. The last tribute alive, wins riches and lots of food. These games are called The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen is from the poorest District, 12. She shows survival every single day of her life. Everyday she hunts, illegally, to supply for her family because her father died when she was young. Going into the games was no different. During a conversation with Peeta he says, “You know what my mother said? She said ‘District 12 might finally have a winner,’ but she wasn't talking about me. She was talking about you.” Because everybody knew how good she was at surviving, District 12 got a little bit of faith. He is saying that even his mom believed more in her than in him, because she had experience in survival and he, as a baker’s son, did not. This shows the audience that despite hardships and losses a human has the ability to overcome and do whatever it takes to survive. Katniss shows a strong relationship with her sister. After Prim, her sister, is drawn for the games she volunteers and goes into the games to protect her sister. Throughout the movie any decision that Katniss makes, is made with the thought of Prim. During an interview with Caesar Flickerman, he

Nobody in this world has an easy life. Even some of our greatest heroes such as Rosa Parks or Babe Ruth were faced with many difficult decisions. Katniss Everdeen's life was definitely no walk in the park. Many challenges, both physical and emotional, were thrown at her face during the 16 years she spent in district 12 and her time in the arena. Early on in her life she had been forced to use the hunting and gathering skills that her father taught her to provide food for her mother and sister after his death plunged them into a life of poverty and starvation. During the games Katniss plays up a romance with Peeta hoping to get more sponsors to help with their survival in the arena, little does she know, he isn't faking his love for her. Survival is Katniss' main priority as she battles head-to-head with her 23 competitors in the arena. All Katniss knows is that these games are survival of the fittest, and if she wants to come home to her family alive, she needs to step up her game.

The 16-year-old bravely volunteered for her sister Prim in the Games, risking her chance of survival for her sisters. This shows great strength of character as “In District 12, where the word tribute is pretty much synonymous with the word corpse, volunteers are all but extinct,” implies that Katniss not only has a deep level of love for her sister, but also an extraordinary level of strength. This quote clearly highlights the main act of strength portrayed by Katniss as she is risking her life for someone else’s. From the very moment Katniss volunteered, she had absolutely no self-confidence and she straight away told herself “I can’t win. Prim must know that in her heart.

There are 12 floors and each girl and boy from each district get the floor that is the number of their district, so Katniss and Peeta are on floor number 12. Their floor contains “Avoxes” to help clean, make food, serve, etc.

Katniss is very independent and responsible. Katniss is protective of her sister and will do anything to help her. She proved this by when she volunteered as tribute in her sister’s place for the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Also, when Katniss’s father dies, she feels the urge to step it up and take control as head of the house. She does this to make sure she and her family is safe from the peacekeepers and her and Prim won’t get taken away from their mother.

Katniss Everdeen, winner of the 74th Hunger Games, risked her life to save her little sister Prim. Set in a dystopian future, where North America has been divided, where the wealthy live in the Capital while the 12 districts provide them with whatever they demand. This is a world in which Katniss and her friends and family live in. On top of that comes the Hunger Games, an annual event where people are taken from each district, thrown into an arena and forced to battle until there is only one remaining survivor. It was not Katniss who was chosen to compete, but instead, her 12 year old sister Prim. Katniss would not stand for this. Instead, she volunteered to take her place in the games, knowing full well Prim would never survive and most

Katniss shows this by volunteering for her 12 year old little sister. Katniss, who is much older and wiser, will have a way better chance at having success in the games. Without having volunteered, district 12’s chances of winning would not be very good. Throughout the games she becomes allies with a sweet little girl named Rue. Katniss helps Rue out when needed and is very
