In the book Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the main character is Katniss Everdeen. She is very caring and she worries a lot for others. She took Prim’s spot in The Hunger Games because she couldn’t bear to see her die. Even though Katniss has a great personality and cares a lot for others, I would not want to be her friend due to the risk of dying. In the situation she is in right now, she is trying to run away from the capital to save her families and friends before President Snow makes everything worse. If I become her friend, that would mean I would also have to be on the run from the capital, and there’s a higher chance of dying than surviving. One of Katniss’ friends, Gale, got viciously whipped until he lost conscious, and although Katniss stepped in to stop the whipping, Gale still suffered a lot. For me personally, I am too scared to jump into action and get involved in another person’s business because I learned in middle school that drama always gets carried away and it ends up making you awful, so I don’t compare to Katniss at all. Katniss likes to hunt and she likes going on adventures, while I like being indoors and I don’t like being very active, so we do not have similar hobbies. If Katniss and I were friends, then it would fade away quickly due to our lack of connections. Although I am a caring person, I care to a certain extent, not to the point where I would put myself on the line to save someone else. Katniss is either all in or all out, which is why she is an amazing person. If I had the chance to spend time with Katniss Everdeen, then I would not take it because of our lack of similarities and connections.
