Katniss Everdeen may be one of the most unlucky person in all of history. In the book The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is a book about a young girl and a boy who get called into the arena for a second time for the 75th Hunger Games (Quarter Quell). In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunteered as tribute for her sister Prim. In the nest book President Snow, being the evil man he is, decided to have all of the previous winners of the Hunger Games back for the third Quarter Quell. In this Games all odds seem they are against Katniss, knowing that the main thing she has to do is keep Peeta alive.
For this task I will be presenting about Katniss Everdeen from the hunger games and how she is a tragic hero and I will be relating this back to the greek hero Oedipus. What makes a hero, a hero as stated by the reproject “Are people who transform compassion (a personal virtue) into heroic action (a civic virtue). In doing so, they put their best selves forward in service to humanity. A hero is as an individual or a network of people that take action on behalf of others in need, or in defense of integrity or a moral cause” (prezi.com). As you all know Katniss is the main character of hunger games and is identified as a tragic hero from the beginning to the end of the story.
Term 2 Assignment This term I have read two books, James Dashner’s The Scorch Trails and Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games. The genre of The Scorch Trails is science fiction. This is shown through the novel with new advanced technology in the future. The genres of The Hunger Games are drama and action.
The Hunger Games gives us a heroine called Katniss Everdeen, she’s a strong-willed character and has an unwavering spirit. In the reaping in district 12 she volunteers for the game in order to spare her sister Primrose. Once she’s inside the Hunger Games arena she’s forced to kill to survive but there’s only problem, her friend Peeta Mellark gets cast into the games too. In the middle of the games, Katniss finds herself in a love triangle with her longtime friend back in district 12 Gale. This made her play a role of love for Peeta while his love for her was real, this then became all and act to survive for Katniss Everdeen.
Such a persona works for Katniss as she saves her folks and as well as the whole nation from poverty and tyrannical oppression.
The cannon alerted, Katniss bolted to a backpack with arrows in it. She successfully survived the cornucopia attack and hid in a tree. In this process, she relives she got separated from
The beginning of the book they introduce Katniss Everdeen, the strong hunter that keeps her family alive. They live in a poor village where no one has food or money. They all wear rags and live in broken down homes and they sell things in a broken down building, which is like their black market. There are twelve district in the world, all of them combined is called Panam. Due to the uprising against the Capitol, they made The Hunger Games.
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.
I have a bow and arrows! A full dozen arrows if you count the noxious green slime that came from Glimmer's body...” (Collins 197). By reading this the reader can see that Katniss was joyful that she had the bow and arrows. She knew that with them, she could do many things and could last longer throughout the Hunger Games.
Moreover, the evidence tells us that Katniss is a selfless person who would basically give up her life for her family, even though she will be forced to go the capital, where she will be used as a pawn in the Hunger Games. Furthermore,
Katniss Everdeen: Katniss Everdeen is the protagonist of the novel, and the story is told from her perspective. She is a 16-year-old girl who lives in District 12, the poorest region of a nation called Panem. She has straight black hair, olive skin and gray eyes. This is a common appearance for residents who live in the Seam.
She 's the one who embodies, articulates and justifies the battle" (Dargis 2). Indeed this statement makes a major point that Katniss humanizes the violence set out to destroy her, and it is her personality and nature that prove her to be an able body to look up to for hope. Another embodiment of hope she holds is her wise instincts. “Who is continually figuring out how to outwit her oppressor and secure her family’s survival” (Skinner 3). Katniss has always held a keen insight into how the minds of the leaders in the Capital work, which has lead her to develop fierce instincts; another trait exemplified in a hero.
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. One trait of Katniss's that helps project the story's theme of survival is her resourcefulness.
She survived the mutant wasps and fire courtesy of the Gamemakers, and managed to win some fights with other tributes as well. All of these tests are leading her up to “The Big One.” This is the biggest test in a hero’s journey, what makes or breaks the person. All of the other tests were just preparing her to make sure that she is ready for this test. Katniss’s “Big One” happens when the only tributes left are her, Peeta, and Cato.
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
