What a Character

After watching The Hunger Games movie, I decided to read the book just for fun. I found the main character Katniss Everdeen to be a very inspiring, strong girl even though she is just 16 years old. She made an impression on me when she volunteered herself as tribute so her sister wouldn't have to participate in the games. This courageous act really showed just what a selfless, loving person she is. There were many literary techniques used to contribute to this overall effect like the atmosphere. During the games there was a terrifying, chilling atmosphere that helped to show just how frightening these games can be. Katniss knew this and yet she still volunteered herself proving to be brave and valiant. Another technique was symbolism because Katniss represented the hope of the people from all around the world that despised the Capitol.
