The Hunger Games Ch. 16-18

What has happened in the story to cause a character to change?
Just recently in the story, as Katniss and Rue were trying to destroy the careers food. Katniss, after sometime of waiting, set out to find Rue. That was when she heard the scream. Rue had been killed by the boy from district one!
I think that this will definently cause Katniss to change in many ways. Since Katniss had a friend during the games, it caused her to feel a sense of calmness and comfort, but now that Rue is gone, all of the safety will vanish. She will have no one to talk with or rely on to protect her. She will have no one to question who is left or who they should go after. From now on its just Katniss and Katniss alone.
Also, now that someone has killed Rue, it has probably reminded Katniss what the Hunger Games truly is (a place of murder and hatred.) She is probably now going to be a lot more vicious to the other tributes in order to get revenge. However it will also remind her that there still is hope because Rue showed her that it is possible to make friends in such a dreadful game.

  1. Yeah, I believe Katniss will change too. I really like your summary. Everyone was really sad when Rue died. I had to stop myself from crying.

  2. I agree with you that Katniss will change somehow. I think that Katniss probably wanted to cry because she lost her only friend in the games. Rue was a good friend to Katniss.
