During the games they both split up and don’t meet up until after the capitol says there will be 2 winners from the same district.

Katniss’ sister Primrose is picked to compete, heroically, Katniss steps in and competes in her place. Katniss and her partner, Peeta, win the Hunger Games by going against the government. The government becomes very upset with this and is now out to get Katniss and her family.

Without even a thought about it, she becomes conscious of her bow loaded with an arrow which is pointing directly at Peeta. When his knife hits the ground, she lets the bow be taken by gravity, in the same direction as his weapon. The shame she feels is evident, with the redness of her face, as she steps back. She could never kill Peeta, even with his pleadings; for her to go on living. She can’t and she won’t. She pushes the weapons back to him, needing him to kill her to put an end to this game before the game makers send in more terror, in an effort to speed up the process, she demands

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.

Before they begin celebrating, the Capitol diminishes the rule that was previously in place, which allowed for two winners from the same district, and returned to the original rule in which only one tribute shall be crowned victor. Neither Katniss nor Peeta gave in to the controlling and evil plans of the Capitol, which called for either of them to turn on the other, and Katniss unselfishly suggested that they both eat the poisonous Nightlock berries, leaving no victor. Here they both demonstrate great courage and passion, as they are about to eat the berries when the Capitol gives in and allows them both to be victorious. Katniss and Peeta defy that violence is necessary to gain their independence as Fanon suggests. Rather than violently fighting until one of them remains, they understand that if this were to happen the Capitol would have been pleased; however, instead Peeta and Katniss use peace and intellect to first act on what would strongly annoy the Capitol, having no winner, forcing the Capitol to have the final decision, two winners or no winners. Living under the totalitarian rule of the Capitol, participating in these games in which, the most important key to survival is to kill, Katniss and Peeta definitively defied Fanon and provided a strong, symbolic message to all of the districts and the Capitol that change was headed its way.

While in the Capital they are pressured into conforming as there are promised the possibility of sponsors, which will help them while they are actually in The Hunger Games. Psychologically the dystopian begins as murder is seen just like a Football Match is in England, looked on with joy and excitement. Then every competitor has to go through a physical examination of skills and abilities, so that they can actually earn more sponsors.
