Arrows, Braids, and Surviving Skills

Arrows, Braids, and Surviving Skills

          While some of my favorite characters are Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Hermione Granger, and Zoey Redbird, one character stands out as my favorite. The Hunger Games well-known Katniss Everdeen has captured my attention along with many others. Her strong, determined personality reminds me of myself along with her looks, talents, and actions. The author of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins, did a fantastic job at creating a character that I can relate to.  I admire the fact that Katniss volunteered in place of her little sister, Prim, in the grueling Hunger Games. She faced her enemies with determination to get back to her friends and family in District 12, her home, even when no one believed in her except for Peeta Mellark who was in love with her. She also never gave up on Peeta even when he was increasing her chances of getting eliminated. She nursed her friend back to health and they managed to win against all odds. She also stood up to what she believed and what she thought was the right thing to do. She stood up to the Capitol that ran the country’s actions and throughout the trilogy won a rebellion that she had formed. She was the true victor in the end despite what some people may think. Her strength got her to so many places in her life and it got her through all the losses she had put up with. She is my favorite character mostly because she’s someone I can look up to whether she’s real or not. She’s a character you can want to be like.
