Changing

Authors Note: This is about Katniss Everdeen, going from nothing, to being everything. Also describing SOME of the main events in detail and how they changed Katniss.

Going to the Reaping, Katniss was worried for herself, and her friend Gale more than anything; not thinking about her sister. With the Reaping started, the girls go first, and Katniss’ sister-somehow manages to be picked. Not wanting her sister to go to the Hunger Games, Katniss has to volunteer. Her action shows courage, something known in her, just not helping other people.

Starting her training, she shows support of the other person from her district, Peeta. She does well, and even manages to have some fun, which she never has. On the day of grading, she shows another new characteristic not normally used, Bravery. She shot an arrow at the game makers, which could get her tortured, then killed-but she didn’t care.

At the end of the games, Katniss had to take a chance of life or death. Katniss and Peeta had berries called Nightlock that will kill you within 20 seconds of eating. Eating these took determination to get out of the games with none, or both of them alive. By doing this she proved herself to many which is another way she changed from before.

This is like the character Cole, from Touching Spirit Bear. When Cole has a near-death experience, he sees the beauty of life and changes his ways to become a better person. Fighting to save her life, and becoming a better person helped Katniss survive-along with her excellent marksmanship.
