July 5-11, 2010 - Chapters 1-4 (pages 1-45)

I have to say that I feel very sorry for Katniss and her family. Can you imagine having to struggle for food all the time? However, I think Katniss is very helpful by keeping her family alive and getting them food. I think that it is amazing to do such a thing for her family, because she's just a 16 year old girl. Katniss risks her life to hunt and get the food her family needs to survive. This shows that Katniss is very brave and has courage. Katniss is basically the family's provider. She works very hard for her family by making money in the Hob, which is the black market. When Prim's name slip got chosen, Katniss volunteered for her younger sister. I feel this shows her love, bravery, and care for Prim. Obviously, Katniss is by far my favorite character.
