Katniss Everdeen Chapter Summary

The word desensitization means (in my own words) less sensitivity. The author express this theme in this novel by telling Katniss feelings and showing her emotions. The way the author told Katniss feelings made it look like she feel this way but she doesn’t care. If you read the book and haven’t seen the movie, you will be looking at a different perspective. In the book Katniss look like a shy girl that is mean to some people, but in the movie she is different.

Katniss is very poor which makes training for the Hunger Games very difficult for her. Unlike her opponents in other districts who train their whole lives for the Games. However, overall she proves to the city and district that she is a tragic hero through her self-sacrifice that led to victory.

In the beginning of the book Peeta tried to help Katniss in many ways. He told people that he was in love with her to help her get sponsors. Also, at the beginning of the games Peeta shook his head to Katniss telling her not to go the the supply area to try to save her from the blood bath. While the games went on Peeta had teamed up with career tribute. He had did this because he was trying to keep the career tributes away from Katniss. But when the career tributes did find Katniss he postponed them from killing Katniss. Peeta told Katniss to run when Cato was

Mythologist, college professor, and author Joseph Campbell came up with the idea of the Hero’s Journey, which had a big impact of literature, and still does today. The Hero’s Journey consists of four main parts, with more ideas under each part. These four parts are Departure, Testing, Fulfillment, and Return. Each part is a key aspect of the Hero’s Journey. In The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen goes through this journey. Katniss goes through each and every part, becoming a hero without even knowing it.

In the first installment of the Hunger Games series we are greeted to the character Katniss Everdeen. Katniss and her family reside in the lowly District 12, the coal mining district, where the felling of death and despair is a guarantee. After the death of her father in a coal mining accident Katniss must do whatever she must in order to ensure the survival of her family and herself. Directed by Gary Ross the film was both a critical and financial success.

At first, Peeta Mellark was a shy, abused boy who worked at his family bakery. He used to like Katniss at this time and was displeased with the government, but stood as a bystander as he saw Gale be with Katniss and the Capitol harassing the citizens of Panem. Throughout the series, Peeta transformed from his old self, to an outgoing, strong, with a leadership, and he got closer to the love of his life, Katniss, additionally, he worked to stay alive, not to make bread. By the end of the series, Peeta became a leader who is strong, outgoing, and respected by the people and had the love of his life by his side. The gradual change from the old Peeta into the new Peeta was the hero’s journey that Peeta went through.

Have you ever been hunted? Random question right but for Katniss Everdeen and Rainsford the answer would be yes. Yann Martel states “You must take the way life comes at you and make the best of it.” I agree with this because life can change so quickly and you must accept it. In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Katniss is faced with the challenge of competing in the hunger games. In “The Most Dangerous Game” Rainsford is faced with being hunted by another Human. Both of these characters use Setting and conflict to overcome their own challenges.

She starts off as a well-respected female in her district despite the fact she’s poor. Her hamartia of caring too much about other’s survival leads her to her downfall where she volunteers to risk her life in the Panem Games for her sister during the Reaping. Again relating back to Aristotle, her downfall has a great impact on her family because they will struggle in privation alone without Katniss to help. Even throughout the game, Katniss relentlessly sacrifices her own safety to ensure that Peeta was safe. When Peeta gets a serious wound from a sword stab, Katniss’s tragic flaw forces her to go out of hiding and obtain medicine, leading her to her downfall of almost getting killed by another

The theme of the dystopian novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is survival. Katniss Everdeen is the epitome of this theme; her disposition luckily possesses all of the attributes needed to survive. Katniss displays the theme of survival because she is resourceful, has integrity, and has perseverance.

However the power of hope always prevails for the greater good. One way hope brings people together is through love such as Katniss’s parents, "Since almost no one can afford doctors, apothecaries are our healers. My father got to know my mother because on his hunts he would sometimes collect medicinal herbs and sell them to her shop to be brewed into remedies" (Collins 9). In this case the oppression of the government was actually a blessing for Katniss’s parents. They were put under a hard circumstance and through the power of hope and love they were able to come out stronger, and give birth to a valiant daughter who would change the system forever. Another example of Love in the oppressed society is Katniss and Peeta. "If I want to keep Peeta alive, I’ve got to give the audience something more to care about. Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance" (Collins 257). Although their relationship starts out as a lie, their feelings turn real as they bond over their hatred of the situation they are in. "The Hunger Games introduces the reality that children are not only capable of facing violence but also might be called to do so in their live[s]"(Skinner 2). Both Katniss and Peeta have never killed a human being before so they are under a great deal of stress to try to keep their humanity intact. That sentiment alone is enough for the two to share a deep

Throughout the book, Katniss often makes it clear to both Peeta and herself that she does not reciprocate Peeta’s feelings, and wants nothing to do with him. There’s also the fact that the Capitol is forcing their relationship, since the moment that Peeta announced to the world that he was in love with Katniss during an interview with Caesar. The two are also told by Haymitch that he “... wants them together at all times. Not one second will two spend out in public without each other, got it?” (Collins 103). There is also the fact that the majority of their relationship develops during the Games, a time when they are mentally weakend and tortured by the Capitol. Their relationship and trauma go hand in hand, and it is impossible to seperate one from the

Wisdom comes with experience and knowledge over the course of a lifetime. Society effects this wise effect that is inputed upon people and a dystopia can really reflect on how this wisdom is used and perceived. Particularly it is Faber that is the one that most represents how Montag achieves knowledge and overall wisdom. Not only does Faber put information,wisdom, into Montag's mind by using the green bullet, but he also gives Montag his wisdom about the society they currently live in. Faber even stated when he first meet Montag in the park that bare a translucent green light that, "I talk the meaning of things. I sit here and know I'm alive" ( Bradbury, 75). Faber is a man that has experienced being alive in his world and exactly how dangerous his world can be. He shares with Montag the truth about what their society is missing

An unknown person once said, “When we read books, we don’t fall in love with the character’s appearances. We fall in love with their thoughts, their words, and their actions. We fall in love with their souls.” In the dystopian novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, this is exactly what happens, Katniss moves the readers by having such characteristic and skills to be able to survive. Katniss’s characteristics, of being caring, having a determined personality, and her intelligence in survival skills, all help support the theme of Katniss being able to survive.

Katniss learns how to be more selfless and not let coming from district 12 define who she is and what she can do. Katniss is a strong, force,and selfless charter who the readers can see a little bit of themselves in her as she develops through the story. The readers also strive to be a little bit more like Katniss everyday because she has the strength and willpower to complete any task that she puts her mind too. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an amazing book for readers of all

Katniss Everdeen is an average-height, attractive woman with blue eyes. She is of medium build and has medium-length black hair, which is mostly braided. At the age of 16 she volunteers as a tribute in order to save her sister from the annual hunger games. She is selfless, as shown by her sacrifice. She is also friendly and has a strong bond with her childhood friend Gale. She comes from the poorest district in Panem. That’s the reason she’s mostly poorly dressed. She is courageous and looks after her mother and sister, and later the little tribute girl, Rue. Katniss is strong and can be tough, although she is at times shy. She is intelligent and clever, as shown by the way she thought of climbing a tree, tiding a rope around her waist to be able to sleep without falling.
