·         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

·         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.

Comments

  1. 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.

    TO IMPROVE

    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?
