Quarter 2: SSR Reflection
For the second quarter, I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. My favorite character is probably Katniss Everdeen because she is the main character in the story. She is a girl who lives in District 12 and is very poor. She is selfless and determined because when her sister was picked for the Hunger Games, she volunteered herself as tribute to save her. She is very determined because she knew that she had to win to survive and therefore trained really hard with her bow and arrow. During the progression of the story, Katniss develops as a character by becoming a confident, well-known, and skillful woman from a poor and regular girl. I can connect to Katniss because if I put my mind to something, I will accomplish it and surpass my goal. I can also connect to her because she is family oriented and will do anything for her family. A cool interaction with Katniss is with Prim because Prim didn’t want her older sister to volunteer for her and was screaming for her to not do it. Something that I don’t get is why Katniss falls in over with Peeta instead of Gale because Gale always gives a helping hand and cares for her family while she is away while Peeta was her partner and gave her bread.

I agree with how you said that if we put our mind to something, we can go above and beyond what we are trying to achieve. I have read this book and I can confirm that Katniss is a good and interesting character who became a survivor. As for the Peeta and Gale situation, she friend-zoned Gale. She always liked him as a friend, but when she was in the games with Peeta, she wanted to have something more with someone who had saved her life, even though she didn't realize that Gale also saved her.
