Summary Of 'The Hunger Games': From Serious To Katniss
In The Book The Hunger Games, There is a girl named Katniss and Katniss have a little sister

named Prim.Prim got called to be apart of the The Hunger Games but Prim is too young to be

apart of the hunger games so Katniss took her sister place so that her sister would not have to

go to the arena to fight for her life.This is true because in the book on chapter 2 page 22 Katniss

called out loud in made her way through the crowd to the stage and pushed prim out the way in

volunteered to take her place because she didn’t want her sister to be there she would have

rather be there for her and her family to worry less.But when Katniss got to the place where she

I can tell that this part of the book is serious to Katniss because I

don’t think she can take having one of her loved ones die again. Katniss still has problems with

grieving about her dad but she has to take care of her family just for him this is causing her to

grow up.I say this because in the book it tells me all her struggles in what she has to do to get

herself together so her family will have at least one strong minded person in the family.It means

that she is young in she have problems still that nobody would hardly know because of how she

acts.Like in chapter 2 when Katniss says “My father knew and he taught me some before he

blown to bits in a mine explosion.There was nothing even to bury.I was eleven then.Five years

later,I still wake up screaming for him to run.”(Suzanne Collins.2)Katniss tells about her father

because something reminded her of him when she was in the woods,she was explaining

    Katniss sometimes treats other characters too harshly, and comes off as an arrogant adolescent in certain scenes, so readers have to put in a great deal of effort when forming their opinions of her. If her father did not die, Katniss would be a boy-crazed adolescent girl, focusing on the perfect application of rouge and lip-gloss, rather than how she would obtain her family’s next meal. This type of behavior, typically seen in teenage young ladies, would have been a huge disservice to Katniss in the arena because she would have never been forced into hunting prey, shooting a bow, or stealthily climbing trees in the first place, since her father would be alive to complete such tasks. Mr. Everdeen’s death is completely necessary and critical to the novel’s plot because his passing molds Katniss into a young woman who fights through any obstacle in her path in order to survive and protect the people she cares about. If Collins did not purposefully and artfully invent his death, Katniss would have developed into a strikingly different character that lacks the label of a spirited…

Nobody in the crowd (panem’s population) applauded what has happened, and katniss regarded it as a small show of bravery against the capitol that expects the audience (panem’s population) to be excited. “To the everlasting…
