Sunrise on the Reaping

N / A

Peeta is a fundamentally kind person , but the record book also do n’t turn over much into any ideas of how the Hunger Games might have exchange this , because he needs to rest this person for Katniss . There is some sound story for him in the final playscript , as he is describe as learn to live with and manage the physical and genial harm that has been done to him and still having a fulfilling adulthood . However , his chief characteristic are being compassionate , artistic , and in love with Katniss , things that never change .

3Lucy Gray Baird

The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes

Lucy Gray ’s fibre ontogenesis is minimal just because she get along into the tale fully take shape . She is written as an antithesis to Katniss , in some room , as she is very confident , exsert to her being at household in the public eye . She is entirely sure of who she is , the things that count to her , and where her loyalty rest . The independent changes that happen to her part inThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakesare her conclude that it is right for everyone if she leaves District 12 , and her dense actualisation that her relationship with Snow is toxic .

Lucy Gray ’s name in The Hunger Games : The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was taken from a William Wordsworth poem that was published in 1799 .

What befall to Lucy Gray inThe Hunger Gamesis very interesting because it is really her repurposing trait she has claimed for herself to turn the tables and escape Snow and the Capitol . She has shew that she is deep , musical , at nursing home in nature , and open of some degree of use — leading up to her disappearing into the forest once she realizes the truth about Snow . Lucy Gray is a very challenging grapheme because of the way she reflects Katniss and the world they all live in — she just does n’t change enough to have a real arc .

2Katniss Everdeen

Katniss ' character spark is a hard read , as it is heavily regulate by the traumatic events she is put through . However , there are some standout consequence where she ego - reflects and consciously develop : when she determine that she wants to actively press the Capitol , when she bug out taking steps to have a in force family relationship with her female parent , and when she finally lands on what she needs from a partner . There are a circle of points where Katniss may seem indecisive , which actually serve her story as a reminder that she is a teenagerin terrible consideration who has conditioned herself to be a survivor above all else .

It all comes together in a complete private story about choosing to fight for skillful and still searching for happiness .

The culminating second of Katniss ' bow is after Prim ’s death when she sense like she has nothing left . This then segues into her slow healing and the epilog , which show how she has bear on to acquire as she get word the best coping mechanism for herself and finds some peace with Peeta and their children . There is a lot going on in Katniss ' head that at times is disorderly , but it all fall together in a terminated individual chronicle about choose to fight for good and still searching for happiness .

1Haymitch Abernathy

The Hunger Games Trilogy, Sunrise On The Reaping

Haymitch has a bit of an vantage when it comes to narrative quality because his arc sweep more time than any of the other District 12 victors . We see him as a romantic youthful man , a traumatized victor , a grieving and alcoholic recluse , and finally , a revolutionary who maltreat up to protect the young people he has come to care about and make the rebellion go on . InSunrise on the Reapingalone , Haymitch goes through a wad of unlike phases and philosophy as he view what it intend to rebeland what it will finally issue forth to .

There ’s a mickle to unpack after the ending of The Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping , but the prequel ’s final chapters are surprisingly hopeful .

The prequel ends with him on the face of it done with any kind of rebellion but still trapped by a promise he made to his love . It gives his electric arc in the original trilogy more meaning , as it was a terrifying thing for him to care about Katniss and Peeta and a monumental choice to help with the Johnny Reb ' program during the third Quarter Quell . Haymitch is a more complex character than ever within the human race ofThe Hunger Games , as he has reason to be deeply cynical but still takes a hazard on hope .
