The Hunger Games Book Project

      
              In the book The Hunger Games, a science fiction novel by Suzanne Collins teaches you to not let anyone or anything change who you are,. This book demonstrates that by Peeta in the beginning and then Katniss starts to embrace that later on in the book.
              When they are sitting on the roof the night  before the games they are talking and Katniss asks Peeta "Do you mean you wont kill anyone?" Peeta replies "No , when the time comes, I'm sure I'll kill just like everybody else. I can't go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of  a way to.......to show the Capital they don't own me. That I am more than just a piece in their games."
                Another event is when Rue dies and Katniss sings to her till she dies then lays her on a bed of flowers. This shows the gamemakers and the capital that they don't  own her and she is not just going to walk away and dust it off. She is going to care for Rue and do the right thing. She did what Rue deserved.
                The biggest event that shows this is in the very end of the games when the gamemakers change the rule back so that only one person can win. Then when Katniss and Peeta refuse to kill each other, they decided to both kill themselves with nightlock(a poisons berry) Then at the last second the gamemakers voice sounds over them saying "Stop! Stop! Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victors of the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark! I give you-the tributes of District Twelve." The gamemakers could not let them both die, they had to have there victor. The Capital was not happy but they did show them that  they were more than just a piece in their games.
