Primrose Everdeen

Do you like games? Do you like being active? Do you like surviving in the wilderness? How is a book different from the movie version of it? Then you’ll love The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

There are many characters in the book The Hunger Games the main character is Katniss Everdeen she’s sixteen and her family relies on her because they no longer have a father figure, Katniss has a talent in archery because she hunts for deer in the forest where everyone is forbidden to go by order of the Capitol. Primrose Everdeen or Prim for short is Katniss’s younger sister, they're four years apart and hardly fight. Katniss would do anything for her which she proves by volunteering for her in the reaping. Peeta Mellark is the baker’s son who
has had a crush on Katniss since they were five. When they're eleven he saves her from starvation and is really strong but, doesn’t look it. Gale Hawthorne is eighteen and is Katniss’s best friend she can’t tell if she likes him or they're just friends, he gave her the nickname Catnip. Haymitch Abernathy is Peeta and Katniss’s mentor he's mostly drunk but promises to stay sober long enough to help them survive, Katniss soon grows very fond of him because they're very alike. Effie Trinket is from the Capitol, she looks like, acts like it, even has the accent. She’s the escort for Katniss and Peeta and she wants to move up to a better district but, soon begins to love them as if they’re family. Cinna is my favorite character, he’s Katniss’s stylist and designs several outfits that she becomes known for. He dresses in all black and only wears gold eyeliner, which is completely different from how the Capitol dresses. Rue is also one of my favorite characters, she’s from District Eleven and reminds Katniss of prim. She has six younger sibling she has to care for and knows that Katniss can be trusted because of the Mockingjay pin. Rue has a love for Mockingjays because of their music. Rue dies from a boy from District One and Katniss sings to her and decorates her body with flowers. Rue saves Katniss several times during her life and even after her death.

The book is in first person or in other words Katniss’s point of view starts the day of the reaping and everyone is keeping to themselves, Katniss and Gale are going to the Meadow and the forest to hunt.
From each district picks boy and a girl from the ages of twelve through sixteen to be their tributes, unless someone else volunteers in their place. The tributes are taken to the Capitol and get prepared for the Hunger Games, all the tributes are put in an arena and fight to the death until only one remains and they're named the victor. The Capitol came up with this to punish the twelve districts and remind them about what happened to District Thirteen when they tried to rebel. Prim is picked to be a tribute in the seventy fourth annual Hunger games but, then Katniss volunteers in her place to save her life and the other tribute is Peeta. On the train to the Capitol the tributes get to know the victor Haymitch and their escort Effie while experiencing luxuries they've never known before. Katniss meets Cinna who's’ completely different from the rest of the Capitol because he keeps all his natural features and wears simple clothing. Katniss and Peeta are told to appear as if they can’t be separated and they can’t show any talents. All twenty four teens are raised up to the arena in circle in the middle is a pile of weapons and supplies, Haymitch warned Katniss not to into the middle because it would be a bloodbath. She doesn’t listen and grabs a backpack, which almost gets her killed. Afterward she runs as far as she can away from the others and tries find water. Later she goes to sleep in a tree, the first night she spots a group of rich tributes that she calls the Careers and is shocked that Peeta is one of them. Soon they have her surrounded and she's in a tree, Rue saves her, and she gets a bow. She and Rue make a plan to destroy the supplies that the Carreers have which succeeds but, Rue gets speared to death. The rules have changed saying that instead of
one victor there can be two but, the two how to be in the same district. After hearing this Katniss runs in search of Peeta, who is found disguised as mud and badly injured, during this she flirts with him remembering what Haymitch said. The Capitol puts backpacks for each person by the supply pile and Katniss drugs Peeta to sleep to retrieve it and save him, Cove a girl who is extremely talented with knifes almost kills her but Thresh saves her and runs. Soon only Katniss, Peeta, and Cato remain, Katniss shots Cato’s hand when he goes to kill Peeta and he dies from Mutant dogs ripping him apart.After the new rule is revoked and Katniss tricks them to let both of them live.
