Stereotypes In The Hunger Games, By Suzanne Collins

Peeta knew that his parents would be very angry at him for giving someone the bread that was meant for the pigs, but he felt bad for Katniss. He gave her the bread, even though he knew that he would be physically punished. The final example of a sacrifice is when Katniss and Peeta were willing to commit suicide to prove a point to the Capitol. During the Hunger Games, it is announced that if the final two tributes are from the same district, they can both be crowned champion. However, when Katniss and Peeta are the final tributes alive, the new rule is revoked and they are forced to try to kill each other.

The cruelty of the Capitol cannot be undermined. Katniss understands this; yet, in the final moments of the Hunger Games, Katniss defies the Gamemakers by threatening to commit suicide with poisonous night-lock berries. This act forces the Capitol to allow both her and Peeta to win. However, Katniss knows that her act of rebellion has displeased the Capitol, and she's now more afraid of what they could do to her and her loved ones. She claims that “it’s so much worse than being hunted in the arena”.

Another way Katniss stands up to the Capital is when Peeta and herself threaten to eat the poisonous berries. There can only be one victor in the Games. Katniss and Peeta want to rebel against the Capitol and eat the poisonous berries so that way they both die. “Yes, they have to be victorious. Without a victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers’ faces.

She also shocks the Gamemakers at her individual skill evaluation. The Gamemakers publicly televise the scores the tributes get to help them gain sponsors. Katniss knows she has to really wow them with her skilled bow and arrow shooting. The Gamemakers start to not pay attention to her so she decides she need to act.

Alternatively, Katniss coincides, and grabs poisonous berries and hands a few to Peeta while keeping a few to herself. “One, two, three” Katniss breathed insinuating they would poison themselves, but a voice from outside the portal commanded them to stop, allowing them to both win. This shows that with the odds against her favor, she still wasn’t planning on giving in so easily. Allowing her and Peeta to win and take the train back home, staring out of the window, Peeta questions, “so what happens when we get back?” and her response is “I don’t know, I guess we try to forget.” With Katniss wanting to forget, it shows that she wasn’t doing any of this for the glory or fame, but for her sister Prim and all of the other districts, she started the games for her sister, and ended it by going against the Capitol.

In this novel, the main character Katniss, who possesses the ability to hunt with great ease and knowledge, is called to saving her sister Prim's life when she is announced as a tribute. When two people are chosen from each district to participate as ‘tributes’ in the Hunger Games, Katniss does something completely unheard

As she and Peeta travel throughout the districts, Katniss senses a rebellion is stirring. However, President Snow proves that he is still very much in control when word comes of a cruel change in the rules for the upcoming 75th Hunger Games. Katniss knows that this time there will only be one survivor this time, so she makes Haymitch, her mentor, do everything to keep him alive, not Katniss. After she becomes allies with Johanna, Finnick, Beetee, Wiress, and of course her love Peeta. Katniss because she wants to make sure the rest of her allies when, she pulls yet again another risky move against the capital.

In a dystopian world, in the former United States, now called Panem, there is a girl named Katniss Everdeen who is a great archer and huntress. She lives in poverty with her mother and sister in the twelfth out of twelve districts. The day she wakes up is called “Reaping day”. It's the day where all the children in each district gather up for one boy and one girl to be chosen for “The Hunger Games”. The games take the two chosen from each of the twelve districts and make them compete in an arena to fight to the death until only one remains. Katniss’ sister is one of the unlucky called, and Katniss volunteers to take her place so her sister doesn't get killed. Soon after, a boy gets picked. The boy chosen was named Peeta. Katniss and Peeta

I hear the shouts of alarm as people stumble back. The arrow skewers the apple in the pig's mouth and pins itself to the wall behind it. Everyone stares at me in disbelief. “Thank you for your cooperation”, I said.” That was on page 102.Katniss says all of this as she gets the arrow out of her quiver and shoots it all without thinking.

Every year the capital holds the hunger games, where two people from each of the 12 districts (two per district) compete against each other for lifes. 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.

At the beginning, Katniss is aware she can’t pass the fence that leads to the meadows into the woods. “Trespassing in the woods is illegal and poaching carries the severest of penalties” (Collins 5). Knowing it’s illegal to hunt, Katniss impulsiveness allows her to continue to enter the meadows, without thinking of the consequences if she gets caught. She doesn’t plan or see the big picture of her actions. When she was inside the room with the Gamemakers, she grabs the bow and arrow and misses her first shot to the dummy. She glanced up at the Gamemakers and notice they

“The Hunger Games” written by Suzanne Collins starts with the main character Katniss Everdeen who lives with her mother and her younger sister Primrose, they live in district 12 which is known for coal mining. Every year there is a competition called The Hunger Games which contains 24 people, two from each district who are chosen and placed in an arena and have to kill each other to win. This year, Prim was chosen but Katniss volunteered in her place. Katniss's partner in the games was a boy named Peeta Mellark. Before, the games begin the tributes represent their district in which Katniss and Peeta wear their fire lit dress and suit down to the Capitol.

Katniss would want nothing more than to be home with her famiy, while the other contestants would want nothing but to murder as many people as they possibly can. I believe that this shows Katniss’s code of ethics, she isn’t there to kill but to survive, and do whatever it takes to survive. She is not there for fun and unnecessary bloodshed. During her adventures in the hunger games she meets a young tribute girl from one of the lower districts that was extremely unlucky to be chosen. Katniss helps this girl survive, she gives her food, shelter, and water.

At the end, Katniss and Peeta are the last two survivors, but the rules of The Hunger Games only allow one winner. Therefore, Katniss and Peeta tried to kill each other at them same time wit poisonous berries to force the creators change their minds. They successfully did it, before they could do it, the creators changed the rules and announced Katniss and Peeta both are the winners.

The reaping is a nerve-wracking time because it determines which boy and girl, ages 12 to 18, will serve as the district's tributes in the Hunger Games. Two tributes are drawn in each of the 12 districts, and those tributes are sent to an arena where they fight until only one tribute remains alive. The victor gets to return home, and the victor's district is showered with gifts — namely food. The Games, put on by the Capitol, are meant to punish the 12 districts of Panem as well as to remind them of the Dark Days and how the 13th district was obliterated for its uprising against the tyrannical and cruel Capitol.
