The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen

Decent Essays
If i got to met one character from “The Hunger Games” it would be Katniss Everdeen. Katniss Everdeen calls my attention because she’s brave, she cares about her family, and isn't selfish. Katniss is a smart teen who is strong, and is stronger when she has a bow and arrow in her hand. Katniss fights against what she thinks is wrong and i find that brave because she's fighting against the capitol. Katniss Everdeen inspires me to fight for what i believe in and fight against what is wrong.
