Katniss Everdeen seemed like a normal girl at first, dealing with life as it was. She was just an average girl who faced a hectic society with harsh livings, but her life changed completely when her sister was chosen for the Hunger Games.
1. Her Family is No. 1
Let's face it, we would have to think longer then that about switching places with our sisters. Katniss would do anything for her family, even if that meant putting her own life in danger. As long as her family was safe, it didn't matter what kind of life she was living. That truly shows how much we actually love our family and would do anything for them and anyone we care about.
2. She Stands Up for Herself
Katniss never seemed to ever enjoy people doing things for her or trying to help her. She liked doing her own things because she never wanted to seem weak. We can all relate to that because we never want people to take us as a weak person or they wouldn't be able to take us seriously. Katniss wanted to be taken seriously.
3. Love Can Wait
I know we all were clenching to the movie theatre seats with our jaws on the ground for the love scenes, but The Hunger Games wasn't all about who she decided to be with (Althought, I am happy with who she chose.) Katniss knew she had no time for romance except when the Capitol thought she was "lovers" with Peeta. She thought of the more important things and tried to keep her feelings to the side and we cannot void her decision on that. Sometimes we need to put love on the side and think about more important things for us too.
4. She is Her Own Leader
Katniss didn't like people giving her commands. She did everything her way. Of course, people would try to demand her to do things, but did she ever listen? I'm not saying we should rebel against our parents but we could definitely take some notes on being independent.
5. She's a Bada**
We all wish we had the guts to speak up to powerful people and target an apple in a pig's mouth. Katniss never failed to amaze us. It's like she had no fear.
6. She's a Strong Woman
Katniss was never able to let her guard down. She kept focused and strong. She showed no weakness. No matter how hard we try, we have our downfalls but we are strong, independent people. We do not have to be afraid.
Katniss has her downfalls just like us, but her voice is powerful in every way and we are powerful in our own ways. I can say she's fearless, but we know Katniss is not always fearless. She's just like everyone else but like her, we need to be strong—be the mocking jay in us.
