Since the day that Katniss volunteered herself at the reaping, during the games and even after the games, there must have been hundreds of emotions running through her body. As we know on the day of the reaping when she was center stage getting introduced, she was fighting back her tears of possibly both fear and sadness. Of course she couldn’t cry though because how would the new tribute of district 12 look if she was crying at the fact that she just got picked for the hunger games? From that small life changing moment, Katniss has had to hide or fake her emotions every single day.
I find that Katniss is very strong with the way she deals with and handles her emotions. If I was in her shoes, I would probably cry my eyes out as soon as I found out that I was going to the hunger games. Also the fact that all tribute are on television for every move they make in the games would really annoy me as well. I don’t think I could survive the games but if I did end up winning, I would definitely have changed a lot and probably lost my mind.
I'm glad to see your very emotional about this topic Marius. I too would go insane from almost EVERY aspect of the game. The thought of my life now being on the line, followed by the constant watch, the constant murder, and possibly the worst of all, the constant pressure from my district. After the games finish, supposing i lived through it all. I wouldn't exactly know how I could live myself. Although then the thought comes to mind that these kids have grown up in an extremely harsh environmental community. If we were to grow as they did would the idea of murder be as horrendous and demeaning as it sounds today?
