1. The Hero
·
Katniss
Everdeen - the protagonist and female tribute of District 12. She is an
excellent hunter and tremendously resourceful sixteen-year-old who is far more
mature than her age would suggest. Katniss is the main provider in her family,
which consists of Katniss, her mother, and her younger sister, Prim. Katniss is
fiercely protective of her younger sister, and she volunteers to take Prim’s
place in the Hunger Games to protect her. In fact, Katniss is more responsible
than anyone else for her family’s wellbeing. Particularly, she is responsible
for feeding her family, which she does by hunting. She learned skills from her
father before his death in a mine explosion years earlier. Hunting, however, is
illegal and punishable by death. Katniss does it anyway, indicating a rebellious
streak in her. Besides, what she catches or collects that her family doesn’t
need to eat, she sells in the district’s black market, again implying a
disregard for rules
2. The Villain
·
President
Snow - He is the main antagonist of The Hunger Games trilogy. Coriolanus Snow
is a native of the Capitol and is the tyrannical and ruthless President of
Panem.
·
Cato
- the male tribute from District 2. He is a career tribute, meaning he has
trained for the Hunger Games his entire life, and he is large, short-tempered,
and a fierce fighter.
3. The Princess
·
Prim Everdeen - Katniss’s little
sister. She is small and gentle, and Katniss volunteers in her place when her
name is drawn to be part of the Games. Unlike her sister in many ways, Prim was
the opposite of Katniss in both looks and character. Prim has blonde hair like
their mother, a gentle and a talent for healing, as opposed to Katniss' talent
for hunting. Despite this, they are very devoted to each other. She also had a
cat named Buttercup, and a goat named Lady. Katniss cares about Prim above
anything else in the world.
4. The Donor
·
As District 12’s only surviving
winner of the Hunger Games, Haymitch acts as Katniss’s and Peeta’s coach
throughout the Games. Though it he is drunk mostly, in fact nearly all of the
time, he proves a cunning advisor to the young tributes. Haymitch also finds a
way of communicating with Katniss during the Games through the gifts he sends
her, essentially coaching her on how she should behave to get more sponsors.

5. The Helper
·
Rue - the young girl tribute from
District 11. She is described as being small and easily underestimated by other
tributes. Rue had formed an alliance with Katniss after warning her about a
nest of tracker jackers. Rue decided to trust Katniss partly because of the pin
she wore over her heart, the famous mocking jay pin. Katniss avenges Rue when
Marvel kills her.
6. The False hero
·
Peeta
Mellark - the boy tribute of District 12 and the son of
a baker. He is kind and loyal, and he becomes Katniss’s love interest and main
friend during the Hunger Games. During the Games, he is likewise selfless when
he saves Katniss after she comes back to retrieve the bow but finds herself
suddenly stunned by the tracker jacker stings. To allow Katniss to escape,
Peeta fights Cato, the most deadly of the other tributes, and suffers a serious
injury as a result. Peeta confesses to Katniss that his only hope for the Games
is to retain his identity and not to be made into a monster by his
circumstances. The incident reveals Peeta to be a good and introspective person
who prides his dignity and decency perhaps above all else.
7. The dispatcher
A very detailed analysis Baylee - you obviously have a firm grasp of the theory, and you understand the text well. The images are not loading on my computer though unfortunately.

Is te hero Katniss a seeker hero, or a victim hero? Why explain your answer - keep in mind she can also be elements of both.
Also, surely their is a dispatcher, this might be a minor role, but it serves to get the hero started on her quest. Who might it be and why?
Ossuary about the typo TAYLEE - it is auto correct on this iMac I swear
