In novel The Hunger Games, the main character is the teenager Katniss Everdeen
from District 12. Katniss is a proficient hunter and survivalist. She is the
one that provides food by hunting for her family since her father is dead. Every
year the government of Capital organizes an
event at which mingling with the twelve districts. During this event, the
organizers of the event choose two tributes, a boy and a girl from each
district to be part of the hunger games in which they fight to the death.
This
year unfortunately, Katniss little sister Prim was selected as a tribute of
district twelve. However, katniss did not accept her little sister going to the
hunger games, so she volunteers to take Prim’s place. Also Peeta Mellark was
chosen as the second tribute to participate for districts twelve. Katniss and
Peeta were taken to the capitol to be trained for the game. At the capital they
meet Haymitch and Effie, their trainers and Cinna and Portia, stylists. Cinna
and Portia get Katniss and Peeta ready for the opening ceremony, dress them in
flames. After the ceremony Katniss and Peeta are taken back to the building
where they are going to be trained. On their third day at the capitol, the game
makers called the tributes out of lunch to have a private session with them.
When Katniss’ turn arrives, she goes in to her private session, and starts
performing her skills, but the game makers ignore her. Eventually, she gets mad
and shoots an arrow at them to get their attention. After this, she decides
just to leave without saying anything, worrying about what she had done,
thinking that the game makers would be mad at her or punish her family. Later, she
finds out that she got the highest score of all the tributes, getting eleven
out twelve.
When the
actual game begins, the twenty-four tributes are taken to the arena to fight
for their survival. At the beginning, Katniss is on her own. Later on she finds
out that Peeta has teamed up with the Career tributes, who has found her and
trapped her in the tree while she was sleeping. At night while the Career
tributes are asleep, Katniss plans how to escape from them. Then suddenly Rue
appears from the neighbor tree branch. Rue points up above Katniss head. She
looks up and sees the tracker jackers, the dangerous and deadly creature’s
nest. This gives Katniss the idea; so she planned to drop the nest on the
Career tributes. After this Katniss teams up with Rue, the tiny girl from
district twelve, and they help each other. Unfortunately, Katniss and Rue were
not together for long because Rue was killed by one of the Career tributes.
After Rue’s death, the rules of the game change. The announcer wants to bring
Peeta and Katniss to team up again in order to keep their love story. The
announcer also says that two people from the same district can now win.
Katniss goes
to hunt and founds Peeta badly injured, so she takes care of him until he
heals. Now they have to fight against Cato, the last surviving tribute name
Cato. At the end of the game, Katniss shoots Cato and wins. However, the
announcer changes the rules again; he says there will be only one winner.
Katniss and Peeta can’t kill each other, so they decided to commit a double
suicide. Fortunately, the announcer admits that they won the Hunger games.
