During the reaping, Primrose Everdeen gets chosen to be the girl tribute for district 12. Even though the odds are in her favour, as there are thousands of slips of paper and she only has one. Without even taking time to think Katniss Everdeen pushes her way through the crowd and volunteers herself in order to save her twelve year-old sister's life. Making her the new tribute of district 12.
I think that from this part at the beginning of the novel Katniss has shown her bravery and also by this act she has shown how important her little sister is to her. I believe that Katniss volunteering herself was a smart move because she would be more likely to survive the games than Prim. As Prim has never had the experience of hunting and using weapons like Katniss has. Since their father had past away in the mining accident, their mother hasn't been herself and has left Katniss to fend for the whole family. Making her gain knowledge on survival and also improving her hunting skills which would be very useful things to bring into the hunger games.
If the Hunger Games were going on in our community and the person that got picked to be the tribute was family member, would you take their place ?
