Kattniss In The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

“One.” Maybe I’m wrong. “Two.” Maybe they don’t care if we both die. “Three!” It’s to late to change my mind.” (pg. 344-345). “The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins”. Panem is a “country” with 12 different districts that is controlled by a capital city. Each district is required to pick two tributes between 12 and 18 years old. A boy and a girl. And they are required to fight to the death till there is one person left standing. In the story The Hunger Games some examples of standing up to the Capitol are… when district twelve solutes Kattniss, when Katniss covers Rue with flowers, and when Katniss and Peeta threaten to eat the berries.
For the first example; District twelve solutes Katniss at the reaping. Katniss volunteered for her sister Prim

Then they don’t deserve either of them. “We both know they have to have a victor. Yes, they have to have a victor. Without a Victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers’ faces.
