In the Hunger Games Katniss goes on a hero’s journey that changes Panem forever. In the book the Hunger Games the hero is Katniss Everdeen. She lives in District 12 of a country named Panem. Every year in Panem an event called the Hunger Games is held. In this event two kids 12 to 18 are chosen from every district to fight to the death. This year Katniss’ sister Prim has been chosen. Rather than send her sister to her death she chooses to volunteer. This means Katniss will be going to the games instead.

The threshold occurs when Katniss arrives in the Capitol. At this point she is no longer in her known world of District 12. Katniss’ threshold guardian is Effie Trinket because Katniss would never have gone to the games if Effie had not picked Prim. Now that Katniss is out of her known world she can start her transformation.
At this stage in the journey Katniss is in the capitol and she must change her state of mind in order to survive, but she must not lose herself in the process. Katniss’ challenges and temptations start in the training center and continue throughout the games. Katniss’ first challenge is to do well on her test to the game makers.

She then covers her body in flowers and sings her to sleep. This is impotent because it starts an uprising in district 11 where rue is from and will help her deal with Thresh. Her next challenge is to get medicine for Peeta. She gets the medicine for Peeta and brings it back. This is important because it leaves only 4 players left. The abyss for Katniss is when she and Peeta are the final tributes. The game makers had made an announcement stating that if two people from the same district were left they could both win.
