Hungergames

Katniss Everdeen volunteering in Prims place as tribute and deciding to fight against the injustice of the Games Katniss enters slowly, stunned, and then as the realisation of the words set in, she races towards the front of the stage to face the panel. And the girl tribute for territory 12 is Primrose Everdeen Not Prim Not my inadequate duck There must be some mistake This green goddesst be happening Stop I volunteer I volunteer as tribute in her place I am Katniss and I wish to be nurtureive covering for District 12. Dont take PrimroseKatniss takes a minute to compose herself before continuing. I promise I will do some(prenominal) I can to bring victory to this District and that I will be a true and brave Tribute if you allow me to stand in for Primrose. Moving towards the fence line where her friend Gale is standing. Gale come and get her and take her away from here. Please watch over my Mother and my sister make reliable they are safe and fed. I have to go Turning on her heel, Katniss moves back to centre stage where she promises the crowd standing silently, with their three middle fingers on their left hand held to their lips.Is this really true? I see you and I understand the message you are sending me with your fingers touching your lips and then held out to me. This is our District sign this is the sign that mearns thanks and admiration. I will try my hardest to be true to our District and to undermine this cruel and humiliating festival that is the Hunger Games. Katniss movements draw to waver as the seriousness of what she has done starts to really sink in. She is moved to a room in the court house behind the stage.This room is where I finally await my fate and the reality of it is hitting me hard. The injustice of this reaping makes me physically ill. I want to throw up so bad This room at a time seemed so big but today its walls are crushing me and closing in on me. I fear for my safety but I spot I have made the right decision to stand in for Primrose. I feel so sad. Sad for my sister tiny, sweet, delicate Prim my little duck. I could never let her have to confront the degradation or torment of weeks of competition she would not last a second.The other tributes would see her as a frightened deer easy prey and crush her worry a bug. Pacing up and down and stopping every now and again to face the audience and look at them with conviction. Me on the other hand? At least I can hunt and I am pretty good with a bow. I am a sthronger person much to a greater extent capable of looking after myself and using my wits to protect me than Prim will ever be. She is a baby It astounds me how the Capitol can continue to hold these barbaric games.They have already taken our livelihoods and our freedom what good could possibly come of the senseless slaughter of innocent children apart from the punishment for an uprising that happened so long ago, it is not in my memory. Why must the children be be sick to death? Move s to centre stage and sits The anguish I am feeling is rising up in my chest, threatening to flood over me and cause more misery and hopelessness than I am already experiencing. But I am sthronger than that Stands again and moves stage leftI will overcome this sense of utter forlornness and take on the challenge of sticking to the Capitol in any way I can. Being led into this room reminds me of what prison must be like for those who betray the Capitol and it hardens my resolve. I am determined more than ever to fight for my freedom and the freedom of all children of Panem. We are not lambs bred to be slaughtered to teach the catch ones breath of Panem a lesson about(predicate) subservience and submission. We are human beings But am I really that brave? I am sthronger in spirit than umteen my age and that has got me in to all sorts of trouble so far.Maybe it will be to my advantage now. Katniss pauses and sits down pondering Maybe this was meant to happen. Maybe it is my task to d o what I can to rebel against the insane faulty logic that governs the hearts and minds of the Capitol. I was once so close to accepting Gales outer to run off into the woods, to hide away from the rest of the world and live in relative safety out of the prying eyes of the all controlling, all pervasive Capitol. like a shot I know why that was not my fate. Katniss moves side stage and holds her It could be doneIf I play cool and keep my head, I could turn this berth to my advantage. I could try to send a message to all in the Districts that Katniss Everdeen mearns business. She is not going to take this lying down. She is not going to give in to the brutality of the power-hungry Capitol, she is not a pawn to be played with like a rag doll. I must have some skills that I can use to survive this ordeal. The predators may have me in a corner and God knows, I am terrified, but a cornered animal is to a fault a dangerous one. One wrong move, and it will destroy it has the most to los e.Katniss becomes immobilised by an overwhelming sense of inadequacy What am I talking about? I cant possibly win. This competition is way beyond my abilities. I am reminded of Gales final words to me Katniss it is just hunting Youre the best hunter I know. You know how to kill swiftly and painlessly. But I dont want to kill children Its just also awful Katniss runs to centre stage, resolute in her conviction again. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do to begin the long journey towards justice. I will do what I must to begin this war against the Hunger Games. Starting right now.
