Book 4 reflection

The main "hero" in the book Hunger Games by  Suzanne Collins, is Katniss Everdeen. There are many kinds of heroes: First there is Anti Hero, who is like a regular hero, then there is Romantic heroes, don't go by its name, it isn't a hero that falls in love, it is a hero who has been rejected by society and has the self-center of his own existence, another hero would be an Epic hero, who is that participates in a quest, Then there is a Tragic hero who makes a mistake and it goes downhill for them from that point, last but not least there is a modern hero who goes through a moral psychological quest.

            So let’s talk About Katniss Everdeen, I would say that she is an Epic Hero but is also a pinch of Tragic Hero. I said this because, in the beginning of the book her father had died in the mine explosion, Katniss and her mother and sister Prim were really depressed and Katniss felt responsible for her mother and sister to split up, and from there they have faced nothing but tragedy, they were having food problems, Katniss had to go hunt for the foods and most of the time they weren't that big they were like rabbits and other small animals. Oh it doesn't end there, her sister’s name (Prim) had been chosen to go to a games where everyone was trying to kill other till one survived, and instead Katniss had volunteered for her.  I also had said that she was an Epic hero, because when Prim had been selected to go into the Hunger Games, Katniss didn’t want her sister to go so she had volunteered to go into the games. This is an example of an epic hero because she first of had volunteered to go into the games, and lastly the games are all about survival, like I said the games is literally like the gladiator but it only ended when everyone was done, it was brutal. In the games she had to practice her archery skills and also get sponsors so that they could help her when she need the help when she is in the arena. Katniss had meet this girl named Rue, who reminded her of Prim. In the journey of survival she did everything she could to protect Rue and herself so they could go home to their families.
