Katniss Everdeen is the main character of the hit movie “The Hunger Games” based off the book written by Suzanne Collins. Katniss grew up in the Seam, the poorest part of district 12. Katniss comes from a family of four, but since her father died in a mining explosion, she has been forced to take the place of her mother, who shut down and isolated herself, and Katniss has to take care of her younger sister, Primrose. This involved breaking a lot of laws and putting herself at risk constantly. Once a year the traditional Hunger Games takes place, this is made up of 24 tributes, 2 from each district, a girl and a boy, to fight to the death.

Katniss also showed perseverance during the fire started by the Game makers, after she got hit by the deadly fireball, she could have easily just given up and let the fire consume her, but np, she continued to run with a burnt leg, to save herself, the pain must have been excruciating, but she kept going, she didn’t give up. I think that perseverance is a grate trait to have because it gives you a fighting motivation to keep going, no matter what.
After everything that Katniss went through, she somehow was able to keep hold of her morals and values, killing as little people as possible. Even after the Hunger Games, Katniss is different, yes, but she isn’t a complete nutshell, she has learnt to deal with the trauma, and though she still has nightmares, she seems to be
