Katniss Everdeen In The Hunger Games, By Suzanne Collins
In the novel, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, a main protagonist named Katniss Everdeen is forced to do the Hunger Games and try to survive it. The theme was: survival, try to keep your dignity and humanity up. In the book, she is shown to be athletic, a hunter, and she is intelligent. So, this tenacious survivor is shown those just because she wants to survive and win the Hunger Games and does not want to look like an emaciated tribute. Katniss Everdeen is shown to be an intelligent tribute in the Hunger Games. Page 251 states, “In fact, when I offer him groosling, he wrinkles his nose at it and turns away. That’s when I know how sick he is.” This develops the theme because Katniss can tell if people have a malady or not and what to

    Why Did Katniss Everdeen Survive In The Hunger Games

    In the Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins, one of the main characters, Katniss Everdeen, had a problem with fearing for her survival. This made it hard for her to retrieve her food, water, and wound healing supplies given to her by sponsors. In the beginning Katniss had no confidence what so ever about coming out as champion or even surviving the games, but as the storyline continued more toward the end of book she seemed to become more comfortable with the idea that she could potentially die. This might be due to the fact that she had to push to stay alive for the sake of her 12 year old younger sister, but then realized that her sister would be proud of her no matter what. An outcome of participating in the games, Katniss developed a…

    Katniss Catching Fire Essay

    For Katniss, survival has become more than just hiding out and avoiding the Careers; she recognizes that truly to survive, she must play the Game to win. Now in the Catching Fire book, “A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist. They had not counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They had not anticipated its will to live.” (Katniss 92) Katniss is talking about the mockingjay, the iconic symbol of the rebellion, but she may as well be talking about herself. The spirit of resistance and rebellion is alive in Katniss, though she doesn’t yet realize it. She survived her first Hunger Games despite being from the poorest District with, historically, the least-prepared tributes. Like the mockingjay, no one expected her to survive, but she was able to adapt to survival. The tributes themselves are symbols of a war fought 75 years ago, and their deaths serve as a reminder of the power the Capitol wields. However, the Capitol underestimated Katniss’s own will to live, as well as her defiance. Katniss is more than a symbol she is a human being. She has grown up under the Capitol’s rules, and now they are forced to contend with…

    Hunger Games Comparative Essay

    Katniss Everdeen is a fictional character in the book The Hunger Games. She is 16 years old and lives in a district called Panem in the poorest part of town called, The Seam. She lives with her mother and younger sister. Her father passes away during a coal mining explosion when she was 11 years old. After that tragedy Katniss’ mother went into deep depression and was unable to take care of her daughter’s, Katniss and Primrose. During her Mothers depression Katniss had to come and step up to take care of the family. Her family was on the verge of survival and on the brink of starvation. “I was determined to feed us...I kept us alive” said Katniss. She did whatever it took to take care of them from walking miles to try and find scrapes from garbage’s in the rich part of town, to hunting in the forest for plants. That’s how her father got most of their food hunting illegally in the forest for plants. Katniss did something remarkable that changed her life forever by using these four words “I volunteer as tribute”. She saved her sister from basically dying at The Hunger Games and putting herself in that situation. She called it an ancient sign for saying “admiration” and “goodbye to someone you love.” She was also very skilled in archery, hunting and trapping. Having learning…

    Hunger Games-Leadership

    Firstly, I have to mention Katniss Everdeen, the main character. She was a young woman, with a really hard life. She lived in district 12, the coal miners’ district. Her father used to work in a coal mine but he died in a work accident, so after that Katniss had to take care of her sister because her mother was paralyzed. Every day, she and her friend Gale went to the woods for hunting, and after that they sold what they hunted in the market. She was a great hunter; she could use the bow and arrows like nobody else. Probably, all these situations that she had to go through made her a strong woman, ready to participate in the Hunger Games with success, and also made her a great leader. She could be tough as iron when it comes to hunt, or fight, but she also could be sweet when it comes to convince the audience to like her or to convince the capitol she was madly in love with Peeta (the other tribute from district 12), or when she was with her little sister. These attributes, helped her to suit to every situation or problem she had, and she went through that successfully mainly because she could adapt her style to different circumstances, like an opportunistic leader. Moreover, she was a very determined and smart girl, like a leader has to be if they want to accomplish every goal they set. For example, at the end of the games, she had to choose between killing Peeta and wining the games or dying and let him win. But she was determined not to die and going back home but also she was smart enough to realize that if they both die the games would…

    hunger games

    Katniss faced much adversity in her life from her father dying in a mine accident, her having to find food so her and her sister did not starve, and her taking the place of her sister when she is picked to take place in the hunger games. This relates to a lot of people because we face challenges in everyday life, but like Katniss we must be able to overcome these challenges and make the best of it. Katniss also showed a lot of bravery by taking the places of her sister in The Hunger Games this act of bravery is something that many people would not do. If you want to be brave in your life you must be able to sacrifice yourself for another person this is another reason why I believe this book related to so many people.…

    Katniss also has natural instincts like tree climbing, when and when not to light a fire and how to live off the land. Katniss also has another advantage over the careers because she knows how to be hungry and how to go long periods of time without food, which the careers being well fed all their lives do not know how to. Katniss also allies with Rue because with out her she would not have known about the tracker jackets and she would not have blown up the tributes food supply. Lastly, Katniss plays along with "the star-crossed lovers" with Peeta to gain the acceptance with the audience and…
