“Rebellion is when you look society in the face and say I understand who you want me to be but I’m going to show you who I actually am.” said by Anthony Anaxagorou. Which is true, we indeed rebel against society every as seen in the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins when Katniss Everdeen shows that sometimes breaking the rules is necessary. The setting helps develops this theme because society is trying to be “perfect” and Katniss tries to defy that. She does so when she shoots at the Gamemakers to get their attention, as they are ignoring her for the food that had been brought there. One place in my novel it talks about this is on page 101, “It’s excellent shooting. I turn to the Gamemakers. A few nod...Without thinking, I pull

She does so when she stays by her ally, Rue, is stabbed and dying and she stays by her side after her death. Peeta also does this when he teams up with the “Careers” while secretly still being teamed with Katniss. The places in the book it says this is on page 236-237, “They'll want me to clear out now...I decorate her body in the flowers.” Which shows that she did something to show the Capitol that she's more than just a person. Peeta tests his luck on page 193, “‘What are you still doing here?’...’Run!’ he screams. ‘Run!’” Which shows that instead of killing Katniss while she's injured, he subtly lets her know he's actually on her side. Fahrenheit 451 also shows examples of its characters defying the law. On page 35 Guy Montag illegally steals a book from a woman’s burning house, “Montag had done nothing. His hand had...with a magician’s flourish!” So he's blaming him grabbing a book on his hand and curiosity, which is not true, ever since Clarisse gave him a new view on life. One final place was in Harrison Bergeron, where Harrison tries to overthrow the government based on just his sheer size and ability to think. It talks about this on page 3 it states, “‘Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen,’ she said in a grackle squawk,’has just escaped from jail, where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.’” Which shows Harrison, even with the handicap devices, he knew he was more than he was forced to be.
So because of these examples Katniss Everdeen shows that sometimes breaking the rules is necessary. Since she followed the theme of this, she survives and wins the Hunger Games along with her District 12 partner, Peeta Mellark. We should be able to rebel against the rules if it's necessary and break
