The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins in one of my favorite books. The character that intrigued me the most is Katniss Everdeen. She is a girl growing up in poorest districts of Panem. When her sister Prim is selected as tribute in the 74th annual hunger games Katniss volunteers to take her place. Katniss does not see herself as a hero, she is protecting her younger sister. This is the beginning of her rise in popularity in her district.
The other time in the book that Katniss shows heroism is when another tribute Rue dies. She shows her respect for Rue by decorating her body with flowers then giving a salute to district 11. This is a very emotional point in the book.
The other tribute from district 12 is Peeta. When Peeta is injured Katniss cares form him. When taking care of Peeta her rough and tough personality begins to crumble as she shows to have feeling for him.
At the end of the book her and Peeta have finished the games and only one could win and she attempts suicide with Peeta. It is then that they are both saved.
Katniss character is a strong and heroic girl on fire. She is the heroine who doesn't see herself as a hero. She puts her family and those who she loves before herself and is willing to fight any fight even to death to save them.

Katniss is for sure a heroine. Not many people would volunteer themselves for the task she did. The different districts in this book are very interesting. I wonder if the world would really work like this if we were formed into different districts?
ReplyDeleteI love Katniss's braveness, too. She became a hero without even trying. She was just trying to do what she thought the right thing was. I admire that.
