Katniss is Her Name, Hunting is Her Game


                 I have many favorite literary characters including Percy Jackson, Aria Montgomery, Harry Potter, Piper McLean, Rebecca Brown, and many others. But one stands out over all. Katniss Everdeen, from The Hunger Games trilogy, is my favorite literary character. Katniss is admired by many people, including myself. I mainly admire her for her courage, her confidence, her bravery, and her ability to mask her fear. She proved to me that even at the risk of death, if you have the right strategy and think quickly, you can survive and accomplish almost anything. Her complicated mind was constantly making me think about what her next action would be. Katniss never gave up, due to her stubbornness. Her mind was constantly running ideas, memories, and strategies to help her succeed. Her bravery and courage overwhelmed me. The way she sacrificed her life to save the ones she loved was incredible. I’m not sure if I’d have the courage to do what she did. Katniss never let her fear show, even in the most disastrous of times. If I was ever in any of Katniss’s situations, I would try my hardest to be as strong and as brave as she was. Katniss and I are not alike at all; she’s very brave and courageous, and I can barely talk in front of a large crowd without getting sick to my stomach. Katniss’s way of hiding her emotion inspired me to not show weakness to anyone. Even though Katniss Everdeen is simply a fictional character, she is still a brilliant inspiration.
