I read the book “Hatchet” and in the book I learned a lot about the main character Brian a brave 14 year old boy who crash landed in the forest wilderness of Canada. In this first LA performance task, I am told to compare Brian to any main character from the stories we have read so far, however we have also been given the option to compare him to ourselves. I will be comparing Brian from “Hatchet” to Katniss Everdeen the brave candidate of district 12 to play in the annual Hunger Games from the book “The Hunger Games”.

Katniss loves her sister Prim every much, in fact so much that Prim was chosen to go play in the annual Hunger Games to represent District 12 and Katniss was so brave and bold she volunteered herself because she knew Prim would not survive a second in the Hungers Games. This shows that Katniss is very bold and loves her family very much. Not only does personalities describe Katniss her physical appearances also describe her. Katniss is usually in torn up clothes that are not clean, she puts her hair in a ponytail so that way it does not get in the way of her arrows. Katniss is not extra tall or particularly short, she is the average height for a girl her age. She has tan skin color and most obviously she is female.

  • The Hunger Games Identity Analysis

    826 Words  | 4 Pages

    Katniss’s identity prior to the Games was almost solely based on hunting and gathering as a means of survival. If she was to in fact win then it would also result in a change of identity because her entire life was focused on that one goal “how would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by” (65). Katniss’s situation is comparable to if someone won a lottery half way through University, the reason most people go to school is to get a job and make money to support their desired lifestyle. Especially today where people prioritize education so much, for that to no longer be necessary would be extremely alarming and would also result in a change in identity. This is yet another example of how Katniss’s identity is changing due to the games.
