Kadin D: Hunger Games

I think that Katniss is determined. Katniss is determined to keep herself, and later on, her teammate Peeta alive through the Hunger Games. She shows her determination by promising her sister Prim that she would return alive. Katniss promising Prim shows her determination of trying to win. Later, in during the actual Hunger Games, Katniss tries everything in her power to survive against other tributes, strange weather, and deadly creatures. Katniss preserves through most every challenge in the games, therefore, Katniss wants to win, and is determined to do so. When Katniss forms an allegiance with Peeta, she protects him from harm, and tries to keep him alive. A big moment where she does that, is when they find out there is medicine in the arena. Peeta badly needs that medicine, but he is not strong enough to fight for it. So Katniss takes a huge risk, and goes to get the medicine herself in order to keep Peeta alive. Because Katniss went through all the fear and danger to keep Peeta living means she is determined. Another way Katniss shows her determination to survive is when she makes good choices for herself and Peeta. A good choice she made was when she decided to disinfect a severe wound Peeta got. Even though disinfecting it put Peeta through a lot of pain, he would have died from an infection. Katniss also makes the choice of not hunting down other tributes, but letting Peeta rest (he needs rest because of his wound.) Katniss made a smart choice to let Peeta recover, and that shows she is not giving in/giving up. Not giving up shows determination to win the games… in other words, her and Peeta's lives.
