“I want to die as myself” Katniss Everdeen claims showing that she will not conform to what the
capitol wants her to be and that she will do anything in her power to rebel against it. In the novel The
Hunger Games made by Suzanne Collins, Katniss everdeen displays many forms of rebellion against
the rules of the Capitol throughout the story. All ready before the games Katniss shows rebellion and
hate for the capitol, because of her tough life growing up in the seam. She shows the capitol how
people can still be united though the meaning of the hunger games is to drive them apart. This shows
the other districts that they are more powerful than the capitol if they stand together. This grantees her
success of the hunger games competition.
Before the reaping Katniss shows a couple forms of rebellion. She rebels against the capitol by
hunting in forest behind her district which is highly unlawful. She does this because when she was
younger her dad was in a coal mining explosion and died from it. He was the main provider for them
family. Faced with starvation and trying to feed her mother and sister she decided to take the risk of
poaching and leaving the boundaries of her district. She admits to this action by saying “I had the
good luck to kill a rabbit”(51). This is a highly illegal action that the capitol punishes by death she
explains “trespassing in the woods is illegal and poaching carries the severest of penalties”(5) she
also mentions “I can be shot on a daily basis for hunting(17). For other goods like wheat and grain
Katniss trades at her districts black market also know as “The Hob”. Which the capitol has no control
or knowledge over. She confesses “Trades in the Hob which is the black market where I make
most of my money”(6). Since the capitol has no control over this she is now taking more than the
