Peeta Mellark And Katniss In The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The author of the book The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins, wrote this quote to help reveal the idea of how barbaric the Capitol is in the book. In the book, the game keeper does not like how well Katniss is doing in the games so he purposely attacked her with fire. When she is badly burned, she climbs up in a tree to try and hide because it is too difficult for her to defend herself. Because of the injury that she received from the people in the Capitol, it is very unlikely she would be able to survive the games. This just shows how barbaric the people in the Capitol are. They intentionally hurt one of the tributes to make the games more interesting for their own entertainment. Throughout the book, the Capitol forces 24 tributes to fight

Katniss and everyone else in the other Districts all realize this, but are unable to do anything due to the size and power of the Capital. That all changes when Katniss participates in the Hunger Games. She knows the power of the Capital and is going to break them from the inside. She is going to completely change who she is, a fighter with instincts with survival, to a girl who is fallen in love with her fellow tribute from the same District, Peeta. She is playing with the emotions of the people in the Capital to get them to love her and Peeta.

So she needs to survive the hunger games. Finally,katniss finds peeta, because you can in with your district so peeta. Then, they try to win but then the game makers change the game's only one can win. Also, peeta and katniss would rather die together than have only one winner. As they're about to eat poison berries the game makers make them stop and Peeta katniss become the winners of the 75th hunger games.

Shannon Hynes The Hunger Games Suspense in the First Day of the Hunger Games In the novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen finds herself in the games after volunteering to save her sister, Primrose. In the Hunger Games there are 12 districts, and each sends two tributes, one girl and one boy. One out of 24 tributes will survive “winning” the games by murdering the other tributes. They compete in an area built by the Capitol with supplies surrounding them at the beginning.

The boy tribute that is from her district is Peeta Mellark who she knew from long ago. Peeta confessed to the public that he loves her and that begins their friendship. Throughout the games, she watches as tributes are killed and a young girl named Rue is murdered. When this happens, Katniss kills Rue’s attacker. This is the first time that she has ever killed a person, so she takes it very hard. Rue was not only Katniss’s ally but her friend, she was Prim’s age and reminded her of her sister. So, when Rue was killed it struck Katniss deeply. By the end of the games she has come to love Peeta back and it comes down to the two of them. They refuse to kill each other, so they decided to eat berries that are poisonous but the capitol has to have a victor, so the capitol announces that they are both victors. When she did this, it was a direct punch to the capitol and it ignited a spark in the people, that began the process of a revolution. After she returns home, she realizes what her actions caused and that is the real reason that she went there. She was destined to be the Mockingjay, or the leader of the revolution against the capitol. She realizes that she is the only way that the people will unite and fight to

Katniss is well aware that her and Peeta are far from safety and all her skills she used to protect her before can be the death of her now. Not only does she have to continue the star-crossed lovers "act" with Peeta, but she has to follow President Snow's every demand in order to protect the ones she loves. Katniss' simple act of "love" may have unintentionally lead to one of the greatest rebellions of all time and now it's finally her turn to stand up and show the Capitol that she is not some piece in their

Imagine living in an insufficient world controlled by the capitol, never knowing which breath will be your last. You are stuck fighting for your life, fighting for your family. Suzanne Collins’ dystopian story, The Hunger Games, takes place in Panem, a country with twelve districts. The story is told through the perspective of the main character, Katniss Everdeen, who lives in District 12 with her mother and younger sister Prim. Their family is very poor. They are going through extremely tough times. They are struggling to survive. To select the two tributes for each district who will participate in the games; a boy and a girl are selected at random. During the reaping of the 74th Hunger Games, Prim is selected to represent District 12 in the games, as the female tribute. However, Katniss volunteers to go in her place, saving her life. Katniss and Peeta, the District 12 tributes, travel to begin the start of a new life, or the end of their life all together. The Hunger Games have begun. Katniss reveals her true colors multiple times throughout the book. She is known as a reserved, well-mannered girl, however there are more sides to her than meets the eye. In The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins uses multiple symbols to show Katniss’ multi-faceted personality.

Katniss has always believed she is just a district girl, who pricked her finger but would’ve never be chosen nor volunteer. She is used to nothing more than caring for her mother and sister, and being apart of the poorest district of all 12 “the fiend”. Katniss’ fate changed when she volunteered as tribute for her sister Prim. Katniss has not only now faced physical challenges, mental challenges, or even life-threatening challenges. She has faced the challenge of being who she’s not; Katniss forces herself to live a lie, for sake of her districts winnings.

Katniss realizes that in life there’s more than just the games, and she might be only fooling herself. She seems to forget that they are just games and that the powerful forces are controlling what she can and cannot do. Throughout the film, she notices that it is not just about the games, but about how the districts are being unfairly treated. Only the fortunate can have all the luxuries and the middle class have to be locked in a system that the powerful force chooses for them. The female protagonist does not allow for her to show her feminine side and be that archetypal hero.

They fight day by day trying to survive in the woods that are controlled by a man named Snow in “The Capitol” who controls the game and places obstacles in the way to only make it harder for everyone who is competing. Of course there is only supposed to be one survivor who wins the game. After days and nights are spent trying to survive, Katniss and Peeta grew a very close relationship. Finally the last two people are standing, Katniss and Peeta, and they have worked hard to stay alive and win for their district. As previously mentioned, there is only supposed to be one survivor. They both refuse to kill one another. Katniss says they should both eat poisoned berries that will destroy the body. They stand face to face with the poisoned food just before their mouths. Snow says quickly “wait,wait”. Katniss and Peeta stop and look up curiously. The capitol sees this as they are in love. They both are then known as victors of the 74th Hunger Games when they leave. They continue on to try to convince everyone that they’re deeply in love with each other. As times go on, it only gets harder for them both. They are facing situations that were completely unexpected. They begin to really fall in love with each other after constantly

Katniss and Peeta have won the games now Katniss is being born again into a new form of herself. Winning the games has made them a popular image within all the districts. Everyone sees Katniss as a heroic figure and someone to look up to for hope of security from the capital. Katniss wants nothing more than to see the Hunger games be put to an end, and she has an idea to make that happen.

Katniss, a rule-breaking protector of her family, does something that no person has ever wanted to do, when she steps in as tribute to the heinous “games” put on by the capital. Although, it is not surprising that she steps in, because if she had not taken her little sister Prim’s place, then Prim would have surely died. We are allowed into Katniss’ mind as the story is developed, learning about all of the things the capital does in order to make the people obey everything they say, and learning about the ways she risks her life to provide for her mother and sister. Once they are in the arena fighting for their lives, Katniss finds someone who reminded her of Prim. When they begin their plan to sabotage their opponents, Katniss tells Rue “destroying things is much easier than making them” (Collins 211), and that is where I began to understand destruction and how it is so prominent in the people of each district’s lives.

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.

In the film the Hunger Games you see the main character Katniss struggle with the idea that she has to kill the other competitors but at the same time you see her protect those she is loyal to in the games, Peeta and Rue. When the end of the games arrive and her and Peeta are the last ones standing she refuses to kill him and is willing to

Katniss lives in district 12, the poorest district that provides coal. Every year, each district has to provide one boy and one girl from the ages of 12 to 18 to fight in a battle to the death called the hunger games. This comes as a punishment for a rebellion that end 74 year prior. This year Katniss’s little sister selected, but Katniss volunteers to take her place. The boy that is selected is Peeta Mellark. The two are sent to the capital to train. After a week, they are sent to the arena. Thanks to Katniss’s hunting and survival skills and some rule bending, both Katniss and Peeta are crowned the victors of the game.
