Katniss Everdeen Is A Role Model
I’m eleven years old, sitting in my room, reading a book and entering a scary world in the future. I meet a girl, Katniss Everdeen. From that moment, I knew she was my hero.
To most people a hero is a person who fights villains, saves the day, and gets to ride off into the sunset. I disagree, I believe a hero is someone willing to put others before themselves, brave enough to do something even when they are scared, and lastly someone who stands up for what they believe in. Like Katniss Everdeen, she may be a fictional character, but she inspires me.
She was girl from a district of coal miners. Her family was poor and Her father had died. Therefore she should be depressed right? Wrong! Katniss remained strong. While her mother mourned over …show more content…
the loss of her husband, Katniss went out to hunt for food. This was against the rules. But Katniss did it for her family. She put her family before herself. But one of the bravest deeds she ever did is volunteer to take her sister's place in the hunger games. The chances of survival were slim and yet, Katniss didn't care. As long a her sister was safe.
I now try to do stuff like this in my daily life, but maybe a little less dramatic.
Katniss may not be a real person but I think of her character as a great role model. I feel I can connect with her. Her actions cause me to think of others. Like the other day. I was waiting in the lunch line when I noticed my friend waiting behind me. She had been waiting there for the longest time for one thing; FRENCH FRIES! As the man filled my plate I noticed I was getting the last of the fries. I saw my friends face frown. I decided, I wasn't really that hungry and shared my fries with her. It felt so good to make someone happy! Katniss inspired me to do that. With moments like this one….
In the Hunger Games Katniss forms an alliance with a young girl who she refers to as, Rue. Katniss manages to kill a bird. Food is very hard to obtain in the Hunger Games so this was a big deal. As Katniss cooked the bird she noticed Rue watching her from the shadows. She looked very hungry. Katniss said, “I can see you, Its ok, I wont hurt you. Please come out.” Slowly Rue came out and sat by the fire. Katniss shared her meal with her. In the Hunger Games you can form alliances but no one is that friendly! Not only did Katniss share her meal, but she gave her the rest of it! Katniss is so generous and kind, hence the reason I chose
her.
Katniss inspires me to be a kind person to all, and put others before myself. This quote by
Asop reminds me of her,”No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”.
To summarize; I think Katniss is a amazing character! She stays strong no matter what, and is without a doubt the most kind and generous person, ever. I also try to use kind actions in my daily life. Like what Katniss did with Rue. Finally, I really think Katniss Is a great role model for girls and boys around the world. I hope you consider acting like Katniss a little every day. “May the odds be in your favor!”
