• Katniss is a kind and brave individual as she is always thinking of ways to help her friends and willing to take risks. At the start of the novel, Katniss worries about Gale’s (her best friend) financial situation. She has “buckets of money, far more than enough to feed both [their] families now, and he won’t take a single coin.” (Collins, 5). To help Gale’s family, Katniss provides food for them, the only form of help they will accept, by hunting in the woods outside of district 12 even though it is an offense “punishable by death” (Collins, 9).

  • Katniss Everdeen: A Heroic Character

    796 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss Everdeen is displayed as a somewhat consistent heroic character. Aristotle would have to agree that Katniss fits in his overall model of an ideal character. Katniss first begins her strong and determined stance at the day of the reaping with her famous line “I volunteer as tribute”, in attempt to save her sister from being forced to fight in the Hunger Games. Throughout the three books, Katniss continues to save people, however, she also loses many loved ones along the way which isn’t very consistent with her character. The first person that Katniss saves is her beloved sister, Primrose Everdeen.

  • Character Analysis Of Katniss Everdeen In 'Wonder'

    I think that the character Katniss Everdeen from the hunger games by Suzanne Collins and Julian from Wonder by R.J. Palacio have many differences, but I 'm going to find out the similarities between them such as being deceiving. The first reason why I think Julian is deceiving is because they act differently in front of different people the adults think that Julian is a great kid to have, but to the kids he is a bully and some people want nothing to do with him. This proves that julian is deceiving because he has gotten the adults to believe that he is the best, but in all reality he is not. And why I think Katniss is deceiving is for mostly the same reason but instead of acting different in front of people she acts different in front of the

    In addition, in these literary works, and because they are narrations, there are some motifs – which are different in each story but relevant in both – that are used to “guide readers through the text.” (Henthorne, 27). In THE HUNGER GAMES there are so many of them and some become very important in the development of the characters and the story in the whole trilogy like the songs and the mockingjay, but it is out of the scope of this dissertation and I will not go deeper on them. However I will be focus on the food and the importance that it has in the whole story of Katniss like readers could discover in different stages of the book.
