She is loyal to her friends and family. She is a survivor. She will never allow a guy to carry her around as though she is a delicate flower.
She skewers that apple in the pig's mouth with an arrow in front of the Gamemakers in the most awesome way imaginable. For all that, I love this imperfect, surly, prickly, sullen and perpetually pissed-off, quick to jump to judgment, and sometimes clueless girl. And I love this book because - despite The Hunger Games being YA literature that seems to hinge on the romantic puppy love - the happiness of Katniss does not revolve solely around a cute male lead.
Katniss and Peeta could have had plenty of other reasons to care for each other that don't include puppy love - they are from the same district, same school, he gave her that bread, she trades with his dad, etc. But alas, that did not happen. I understand that Collins had to cater to the way that YA publishers and Hollywood tend to view us, the female audience.
At least Katniss escapes the perils of insta-love. But poor Peeta - all of his actions are colored by him being "Lover Boy", and I think it detracts from his personality and reduces him from a kind compassionate person to a fool in love who'd do anything for Katniss only because of his physical attraction to her.
Oh, Rue Now, back to the GOOD. Rue, my favorite character. Little, fragile, almost-too-perfect Rue who was clearly doomed from the start. Who despite her appearance was neither weak nor helpless. Whose death scene brought the human side to Katniss who, until that point, was almost bordering on robotic. There was real grief and anger and sadness in that scene, and from that point on I began to care. Suzanne Collins strictly follows the "show, don't tell" rule.
Actually, she does it to such an extent that the book reads almost like a screenplay. The plot moves along at a fast pace, only slowing down a bit in the drawn out Capitol makeover and cave makeout sessions.
Collins does not shy away from gruesome scenes, making many parts of the book hit home. Katniss easily beats the majority of the popular YA heroines. And because of all her coolness, this gets 3. Somehow it just won't seem sincere if I'm trying to slit his throat.
Lawrence's Katniss has such emotional depth, and she brings such truthfulness to her character. Excellent adaptation with a great balance of tugging on the heartstrings and darkness.
Hello, I am back again with another breakdown review while I relearn how to write reviews. We quickly learn so many characters, but we even more quickly learn what type of character Katniss Everdeen is. The basic premise of this tale is that there are twelve districts and once a year each district will select two young candidates to fight to the death in a game, which will also be broadcasted for the world to see. Every year, a teenagers name gets added once to this random selection pool, but each year they get older another time their name gets added.
Also, you can add your name more times to get food and supplies for your family, and this is very much the norm for most children.
Meanwhile, the boy contestant is Peeta Mellark, who Katniss remembers giving her bread when her family was starving after the death of their father.
Together, they are thrown into a competition that no one believes they will be able to come back alive. Especially since only one victor is allowed, therefore one of them will most certainly have to die. The journey Haymitch is about to take alongside these two kids as their mentor, whew. Also, unknown to Katniss, a start of a public romance is brewing with Peeta to help their image.
We also get to meet President Snow and start to get a vibe of all the evil things he has been stirring up for some time now. We also get to learn about the different privileges of the other districts, and how some of these candidates view this as an honor to volunteer their life for without needing to save a little sister. Peeta is coached to very much play the star-crossed lovers card, and he even tells Caesar that he loves Katniss more than anything.
And Cinna says my favorite line in the entire series to Katniss. So simple, so beautiful, so heartbreaking. And we quickly see that people are starting to form groups to take out some of the weaker players. After with the help of some killer, engineered wasps… she is able to get down from this tree and gets a bow. Katniss sings to her, and realizes that nothing will be the same in her life again, no matter how long she has left.
And she also knows that Peeta has been wounded and is missing. They also share a kiss when they find shelter, and she vows that she is not going to let him die.
