The Warrior Heir
In the beginning of the book, Katniss receives a visit from President Snow himself. She knows this is odd because Snow rarely leaves the Capitol. Snow explains to Katniss that she has started somewhat of an uprising. He can’t kill her so he tells her that it is imperative for her to convince the districts that she truly loves Peeta. Snow wears a white rose on his lapel that smells of blood.

Katniss then receives a visit from her stylist Cinna. Cinna has come to make her beautiful again for the victory tour. All victors attend every District after winning the Hunger Games. Katniss also must have a “job” after winning the Games. Katniss chose fashion design. Cinna does all of the design for her.

Every victor has their own way of dealing with the trauma imposed by the Hunger Games. Haymitch drinks, Katniss hunts, and Peeta paints. Peeta paints jarring depictions of events that happened in the Games. One of which is Rue right before dies. This one of course is very potent to Katinss’s grief.

The first stop on the Victory tour is District 11. This is one of the districts most at risk for rebellion. Katniss feels she must say something about Rue. After she does so they all salute her. Then a man breaks from the crowd and attacks a peacekeeper. This man is shot.

Katniss decides that the best way to prove that she and Peeta are in love is through an engagement. Peeta hates this because he wanted them to get married for real. He wanted her to truly love him and want to be married. He ultimately decides to do it and proposes marriage on Caesar Flickerman’s show. Capitol citizens love it.

After the show Peeta and Katniss attend a party at the Capitol. They feel that the Capitol is wasteful and hate their rituals. They shortly discuss helping a rebellion. A man named Plutarch Heavensbee talks with Katniss for a while. He then proceeds to show her his mockingjay symbol on his watch.

Katniss returns from the victory tour with Peeta just in time for the Harvest

Her male counterpart is the baker 's son, Peeta Melark. Per the rules, only one or neither of these two combatants will ever return to District 12 alive.

    Through the use of language techniques and character manipulation she portrays this contriving conviction to the reader. Katniss uses an imperative "Okay, I figured out what I'm asking," I say. "If it is Peeta and me in the Games, this time we try to keep him alive." To convey her wishes to save Peeta and the addition of the italics of the word “him” enhances the depth of her feelings. “And one of us is going to be victor again whether you two like it or not!” through the use of his indifferent tone Peeta conveys his courage to Katniss which also acts to empower her. He shows his courage, as he knows that he may not survive, as it is his plan to do anything possible to save Katniss just as she plans to do for him. This is where the major conflicting perspective lies between the two as they are both attempting to save the others life because of their resonating love. This is similar to the conflict between Brutus and Cassius where Brutus kills Caesar for the good of Rome “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” the use of juxtaposition accentuates the love that Brutus has for Rome just like the love Peeta and Katniss have for each other and how powerful a motivator this can be in any situation. Cassius on the other hand is motivated by his greed and jealousy “this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” The use of hyperbole and metaphor emphasizes this and resonates the conflicting motives between Cassius and Brutus. The Quarter Quell of the Hunger games sets the perfect background for Collins to shape the characters in a way that reflects her perceived viewpoint of conflicting perspectives which is also presented to the audience by Shakespeare in the events…
