Charles Foster Kane, who was he really? By Thompson ... (1941) Charles Kane was a man that some of us hated or some us loved. He was a mysterious man, we know nothing of him, however we have heard of him. From friends, family, or especially in the newspaper, but who was he really?
In the book, The Hunger Games, one of the main events is when Katniss volunteers for her sister, Prim, to participate in the annual Hunger Games. After reading this event, I was very surprised. I noticed that Katniss surprised herself by saying she would volunteer, but then quickly recovered once she remembered that the reaping would be shown on television. “…this is upsetting me and I don’t want to cry. When they televise the replay of the reapings tonight, everyone will make note of my tears, and I’ll be marked as an easy target.
Katniss’s father died in a mine explosion; however, before he died he was teaching Katniss how to shoot a bow and a arrow. Katniss is now using this skill to hunt in the woods (which is forbidden and you can be punished by death) to supply for her family. This shows that Katniss is very brave. 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.
Suzanne Collins applies the hero’s journey to her novel to demonstrate Katniss’ experience in The Hunger Games. One step in act one that Katniss Everdeen follows in the hero’s journey is when she accepts the call to adventure by volunteering as tribute for her sister Prim. Katniss couldn’t bear to see Prim get chosen as tribute at the reaping for the Hunger games, so she decided to volunteer herself in replacement: “Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper and reads out the name in a clear voice. And it’s not me. It’s
The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen is a dynamic 16 year old girl character in the novel The Hunger Games, out of 13 districts she lives in panem in district 12 with her mother and little sister.

(p.49)katniss take in good things and it stays inside her, like the time when peeta gave her some bread when she was hungry, she remembered that moment for years.
Katniss also shows signs of being of a hero when she takes her little sister Prim, place in the Hunger games. An Example of Katniss hunting for her family would be, “District 12. Where you starve to death in safety.” (6) This shows that Katniss knows that District 12 is not a friendly place and a hungry area. An example for Katniss sacrificing herself for her sister is “Prim!”...
Katniss Everdeen is the protagonist of Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games book and film series. In the dystopian landscape in which the book is set, children between the ages of twelve and eighteen must register themselves for a random selection for a fight to the death. Even from the beginning, Katniss was breaking societal expectations; one example of which being when she volunteered when her younger sister Primrose was selected. Being from such a poor district, Katniss was not expected to do well in training for the games, but she pulled a very high score when she shot an arrow towards the game-makers. No one expected Katniss to be so strong and resilient, but her own agenda was just getting home to her family.

Prim was one slip in a thousand…’I volunteer!’ I gasp. ‘I volunteer as tribute!’... In some districts, in which winning the reaping is a great honor, people are eager to risk their lives, The volunteering is complicated.
