Easy a hero is a person who saves the day. Yes but a hero is more than that. A hero in a book is someone whom faces a physical and mental conflict in a book. Some one that over comes their everest. Some one who get to the zenith of their abilites and then pushes on. In hunger games in a literal sense Katniss overcomes an oppressive government and 24 tributes. But in a sense she overcomes fear, being a puppet, and the status quo.
But life as a hero doesn't seem all that great. In the Hunger games Being a hero is followed by broken relationships, death of love ones, many a sleepless night, and fame. Fame in my point of view is worse for a person because it puts them on a pedestal. Which many one thing is expected from them at all times. The affect of being a Champ of the games is nightmares of children murdered in cold blood for entertainment. An average nightmare would be like flashes of moments in the games most likely of those you saw die from your hands like maybe a child laying flat in a field the blades of grass waving in the wind and when your entity gets closer you begin to see a more defined boy with a arrow covered in splattered blood jutting out from his side a pool of crimson ink-like blood oozing from the point of entry. Is it worth it.

Well, Cameron, I'm not quite sure that it is worth it. Katniss never asked to be a hero, and even if she is one that position came with great loss. Also, as far as I can tell, she hasn't benefitted from her position that much.
ReplyDeleteI think that all characters overcome obstacles, mo matter if they’re a hero or villain. Where the difference is made is in the actions of the character.

Fix your grammar. Katniss wanted to escape, but deep down, she's enjoying it all. Deep down, we all have the power to kill, and the will to do so. It is human nature.
