Katniss a sixteen-year-old girl who takes her younger sisters place in an arena where twenty-four tributes will battle each other until there is one left standing, Susanne Collins wrote a book about this called The Hunger Games. Katniss is great with a bow and arrow during training sessions and the Games this skill was a way of protecting, and killing. During this time in the book the bow and arrow became a great way to kill animals for food, or money to trade in at the hob, the hob a place located in District Twelve where they trade food, cloth, and yarn. Everyone has weakness however not everyone is willing to share what they are. Where as Katniss’s weakness are easily shown, from not willing to show emotions, letting herself get into the
One of the largest reasons for Katniss’s survival would be her caring personality and how it is able to affect those around her. At this point in the the book, District 12 had just started
The composer Suzanne Collins of ‘The Hunger Games’ demonstrates that Katniss is a good hero through her courageous qualities. This is evident through this quote “how could I leave prim, who is the only person in the world I am certain I love” (chapter 1 page 11). Katniss demonstrates loving and having lots of courage through volunteering pushing her sister and taking her place proving this is seen through these words “who is the only person in the world I am certain I love”. The effect of emotive language and short sentences making us feel the emotion of katniss like we are there and can hear her. We can hear through these effect s that katniss doesn't think about what going to happen next only caring about prims safety. Throughout this book we can see that katniss has a lot of other qualities.
Much of the Hunger Games is centered around portraying a certain image, or identity if you will. The capital manipulates the weaknesses in their society and in their people to create an identity of unity and nationalism through the way they present the games to the districts of Panem. This idea of appearing to be one thing but really being another is ingrained in the society of Panem. District 12, in particular, maintains this image of complacency for the sake of survival, and Katniss is no exception to this.
This quote is an indication to readers how Katniss’s world seems kind of hopeless and people are barely surviving. It is easy for readers to picture these worn out, unclean, starving, exhausted people and it’s also expressing to readers the degree of poverty Katniss and the people of District Twelve live in. Her conditions in the games however were illustrated to readers as a world of survival, the description of the arena as a jungle, the way temperatures would rise and drop when they’d least expect it and the effect it had on her and Peeta, and the way she had to survive an attack of a fire wall descending upon her at the end of Chapter Twelve and throughout the beginning of Chapter Thirteen. In this midst of this world of survival drawn out for readers by Collins, there is an encounter where Katniss humanity shines and overpowers her need to survive.
Katniss Everdeen possesses the ability to defy the ageless law of nature that is the survival of the fittest, using her expertise, Katniss demonstrates that the fittest are those who have the sufficiency to adapt, the voice to embolden and the audacity to fight for what she believes she must do. The concept of survival essentially is to continue to live in spite of an ordeal or being placed in difficult circumstances. The theory of survival is portrayed through the book The Hunger Games, directly shown through Katniss Everdeen. Katniss minimised the apprehension in district 12 by giving them hope, something that came rarely to such a poor district. The fittest aren’t always the ones who can run the fastest.
Hunting people is “The Most Dangerous Game”. The Hunger Games is the most difficult game to win. Rainsford was shown to be a witty, resourceful, and patient person. He even outfoxed General Zaroff in his own crazy game. Katniss was shown to be a quick thinker and had a determination to get back to her family. The creators of these characters developed the protagonists through the use of man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. fate conflict. Katniss is an excellent hunter with a little sister and a mother. Rainsford was an intelligent sailor who fell off his boat accidentally.
Ever since Katniss became District Twelve’s female tribute for the 74th Hunger Games, survival was her main priority. Right after the Reaping, she assures her younger sister Prim that she will survive and come back home safely. When Katniss is confined in the Justice Building and is speaking with her younger sister about winning and coming home she says that she will “‘really, really try. I swear it’”(Collins, 36). She also learns several essential skills in the Tribute Training Center in the Capitol the days prior to the Games. Katniss also follows her mentor’s (Haymitch) advice to “put as much distance as you can between yourselves and the others, and find a source of water” (Collins, 139). Katniss had to kill in life threatening situations, proving that her main motive was to stay alive and come back home to safety. This can be seen when she annihilated Marvel, Rue’s killer, since she was his next target. Survival drove Katniss throughout the course of the Hunger Games, leading her to perform extreme actions, such as killing. Additionally, in A Long Way Gone, Ishmael used the technique Haymitch provided Katniss in order to survive. He constantly avoided villages since they were generally unsafe. Beah was always on the move too, so that he was not captured by either the Sierra Leonean government or RUF guerrillas and be forced to
She doesn’t have much warmth, attachment, or love to offer to anyone, and she finds it hard to trust people under the cruel environment of the District. It is seen on page 6 that Katniss is very observant and watchful over her surroundings, “Then I glance quickly over my shoulders. Even here, even in the middle of nowhere, you worry someone might overhear you.” She doesn’t trust anybody, except Gale and her sister, as she said on page 6, “In the woods waits the only person with whom I can be myself, Gale.” She learns to respect the harsh society of her District and the Capitol by keeping her rebellious thoughts shut.
Katniss finally begins to take responsibility for her actions and tap into her political spirit. In the article, self-regulation is explained that children can use strategies to mange any learning and achieve anything they put their mind too (pg. 423). Now Katniss puts her mind in achieving the Mocking Jay. She survived the Hunger Games twice, although being from the poorest District with the least-prepared tributes. Like the mocking jay, nobody imagined that she would survive, however she found herself able to adjust to survival.
Suzanne Collins refers to the societal issue of the desensitization towards violence in The Hunger Games. Katniss wants to make the citizens aware of the effects of the violence of the Games. In reversing the citizens’ perception of violence, Katniss feels as if she can provoke wider systematic change to a very dictatorial regime.
Mockingjay Suzanne Collins 390 Pages In the story Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins, the main character, Katniss Everdeen, along with the rest of the population of Panem, is in a war with the capitol. They are at war with the capitol because they don’t like that the capitol tries to control their every move and watches what they do.

Director Gary Ross chose to foreshadow the feud between Katniss and President Snow in the first movie to successfully entices viewers to return to the following movies. In the series, President Snow and Katniss develop a distrust, with President Snow gunning to get Katniss after she manipulates the Gamemakers to allow both her and Peeta to win the games. Yet there is only one instance of this in the novel, and that is when Katniss is crowned by Snow who unforgivingly glares at her (Collins 364). While this is subdued in the book, it is brought to the forefront in the movie. The movie shows many scenes of Snow glaring at Katniss, such as in the chariot ride, the crowning moment, and after Katniss gets home.
Upon entering the games Katniss realizes that she and Peeta have an awkward history together. She and her family were near starving to death, and Peeta throws Katniss a loaf of warm bread since
