Author' Note: This short response is about the main character, Katiniss Everdeen in the story The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

 Katniss is a 16 year old girl from District 12.  Her hair is as dark as night, and is in a braid that is as neat as a maid, and is as  long as a horses tail. Her aim is as if she was a professional, which comes in handy because she has to kill wild animals in order to keep her family alive and food on the table. 

Katniss is like a mother bear to her little sister, in other words she does all she can to keep her little sister, Prim safe.  When their father died in a tragic mining accident her mother checked out of life.  Now more than ever ,Katniss is being a mother bear,  she had to try to raise Prim by herself and keep them all alive and safe.  In order to keep her family alive, they need food, so  Katniss had to take what her father taught her with hunting and put it to the test.  As Katniss fights to get wild animals, she learned a few things on the way.  Katniss is as quick as a tiger, as sneaky as a mouse, and can kill almost anything with her bow and arrow.  This helps her when she volunteered as tribute in the  hunger games.  Since Katniss has to leave for the hunger games she is terribly worried about her family especially with getting food on the table.  Since they don’t have the mother bear around to get their food. She has to believe that Prim can do the job.
