Katniss Everdeen

Hello, my name is Katniss Everdeen. I live in District Twelve and I'm 16 years old. I have brown hair and blue-gray eyes.I love my little sister, Prim and hunting with my friend, Gale. I'm not a huge fan of my mother anymore. At home, I'm as fierce as a tiger. But at school, I'm as shy as a butterfly. One thing I miss so much is my father. He was a great man, or that is what they say. I live with my mother and sister, Primrose. But, for some strange reason I feel different than the other girls at school. Well, that is how I was born. === === Now, lets talk about my home. District Twelve. A normal place to be. Out of all of the districts, we are the worst! Even though we were the last district of all, we still were important to the rest. My district was known for its coal mines. But, we were the poorest of all twelve. Now that we are done with the whole coal mine idea, we still have amazing use like... like... well I'll think of something for you. Sometimes I wish I lived in an other district. But we are all controlled by the same place, the Capitol where the citizens dress and act weird. But this is what I heard, I'm not that certain about it. === === My special features or traits are that my hair seems nice enough that my mother braids my hair. Also that I have skills for hunting which is unusual for a girl like me. But I enjoy hunting with my bows and arrows. I can not stop myself from going into the woods with my friend, Gale, killing animals and picking wild fruit(strawberry). It is something I'm used to. But I'm very shy when it comes to meeting someone new. For example, when I was hunting in the woods, I came across a trap with a bunny in it. Since I could not make a trap that works, I took it until someone came from behind the tree. He asked me for my name. When I said Katniss he thought I said Katnip. Until I corrected him. Then he said his name was Gale. But he looked interested in my bows and arrows. Then, we made a deal that if he teaches me how to make a good, working trap, I teach he how to use a bow and arrows. That's the day Gale and I became friends. But I just wish I have more special features than hunting. ===

Setting


=== Our adventurous story takes place in the ruins of Panem, where a cruel, mean Capitol is sending innocent children from ages twelve to eighteen has to participate in the deadly Hunger Games. But within the Capitol, there are twelve districts. Each with their own importance. At this time, the people of District Twelve are in great danger of their district being destroyed just like what happened to District Thirteen. The only thing that can save them is if one of their tributes win the games. This can also save them of hunger and death. === === Main character, Katniss Everdeen turned out to be one of the tributes along with another character, Peeta Mellark. Going through The Hunger Games in such a dangerous time when a whole district is counting on you. It must be a lot of weight on two peoples back when they also have to worry about not being killed. If they were not chosen to be in The Hunger Games, they will then have to worry about starvation instead. === === To help the reader understand the emotional story, they'll have to dig as deep as they can to also know why the events would be as there are in the novel. For example, if Prim never got chosen to be in The Hunger Games, then Katniss would have never been in the problem of being killed. Then, if Peeta wasn't chosen to be the boy tribute, the whole story would just like it would change if Prim never got chosen. Then, Katniss's family would be at home watching the games. Anyway, the story would be very boring if that was the story. So it must be important for the setting to be like this. ===

Conflict


=== I have just don the m ** ost bravest thing in my whole life. I had took my sister's place in The Hunger Games.Hername is Primrose Everdeen, Prim for short. I had to do this because I could see my sister being pulled away to these games where she had to fight until she died. But, the worst part is that, I have to beside Peeta Mellark. This might as well be the worst thing that ever happened to me. First, I volunteer to be part of The Hunger Games, then, I have to fight with Peeta Mellark. No, the odds are not in my favor today! I might as well have to live with it. ** === === Now I am at the Justice Building saying my last good-byes to my mother and Prim. But, I don't feel as sad to leave my mother. I don't know why but the most reasonable answer is that she isn't really supporting Prim and me ever since our father died in the coal mine disaster. That just makes me furious with her, I 'm the one supporting the family not her. But for Prim, I feel that I'm going to feel lonely without her. The part I feel sort of strange is that Prim said, " I'll be all right Katniss. But you have to take care, too. You're so fast and brave. Maybe you can win." That part I don't know if it's evengoing to happen. I hope I can but ... but...I don't know. ===
