Violet Vs. Katniss

The novel “Catching Fire” builds a lot of perspectives on how strong and independent each character is in the hunger games such as the main character Katniss , as for in the novel “feed” M.T Anderson also promotes a strong and revolutionized character which also happens to be a female, violet. These are both strong woman that through the two different novels refused to go down without a fight. Backtracking in the novel feed where violet became a big interest in the book when she started dating the main character Titus and was so hooked on the fact that he was hooked onto his feed, violet is always trying to find a way to get Titus off of his feed, for example one time they went out and she was basically trying to trick the feed asking for things to buy that didn’t make sense just a bunch of nonsense, everything that fit her feeds description from clothes and personal items she may enjoy she completely went for the opposite confusing her feed and trying to prove a point to Titus. As for in the Hunger Games “Catching Fire” where Katniss Everdeen at age 16 takes a stand to take her sisters Prims spot in the 74th hunger games is where her journey begins. From surviving in the first game from a head shot with a knife from her opponent clove which Katniss blocked, to making it through the game. Now to a more revolutionized and stronger character, I would have to pick Katniss.

  .     Katniss Everdeen’s biggest competitor is a male named Peeta, and she is still forced to overcome him if she wants to survive.
2.     She isn’t the sweetest girl but also isn’t as cruel as people portray her
3.     She hunts illegally just to feed her family to stay alive
4.     She volunteers as a tribute for her sister prim to save her life


The differences between the two characters Violet and Katniss are indeed that for one even though violet fought the feed and tried to stick to what she preached, it all fell through at the end of the novel when the feed hacked her and she went insane and slowly started dying, she tried to impact the people she cared most about to improvise to them that the feed is not needed at all times in fact she was trying to prove you can do so much more without it but from all she’s tried to prove took a down fall. As for Katniss a strong rebellious woman who will do anything for her family even kill if she has to has took a great pick over my decision on which character is more revolutionized. Katniss shows more improvement in her efforts to get across everyone what she wants will be what she gets. Katniss isn’t as reluctant as violet was with specific situations in the novel, Katniss simply went with it is what it is and keep it moving motto. She sets a prime example for all of District 12’s children, or females which is a big political view for all of the people watching and keeping up with all of Katniss moves especially since that this the 74th hunger games will not be her last, “And if a girl from District Twelve of all places can defy the capitol and walk away unharmed, what is to prevent, say, an uprising” president snow pg.21. This quote is right when Katniss became the face of Panem after the game makers declare her and Peeta as dual victors. Jumping from novel to novel has shown more how such a wild card Katniss is, now what I mean by that is Katniss is not predictable at all you can never guess what’s next with her, but on the other side violet was more predictable because over and over again she was going about how to stay away from the feed cast all in basically the same way it was never unpredictable that’s why I believe violet didn’t make it through and that Katniss did because she never did anything the same she always kept her opponents, district 12, and her allies on their toes with every move she made.
