Blog#1- Do the characters seem real and believable?

The characters in the Hunger Games are very realistic and believable. To name a few;

Katniss Everdeen is the main character and the narrator of the book. Katniss is your everyday girl who is slightly shy in school. She is 16, has long black hair which she wears in a braid, olive skin, and gray eyes. She lives with her mom and her younger sister Prim in district 12. District 12 is the poorest of all districts’, and is in charge of mining coal for the capital. So, in order to feed her mother and sister Katniss goes hunting weekly in the forbidden woods with her childhood friend gale.  Throughout the reaping of the 74^th hunger games, Katniss bravely takes her little sisters place to become a tribute.

Primrose (Prim) Everdeen is Katniss’ younger 12 year old sister. Prim's face described as "very pretty and is as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named." She, like her mother, has blonde hair and blue eyes. This leaves her looking nothing at all like her sister.

Gale Hawthorne is Katniss’ childhood friend and hunting partner. Like Katniss, he has black hair, olive skin, and gray eyes however is one year older than Katniss. Gale is in love with and very devoted to Katniss, however she is oblivious to this until the second novel 'catching fire'.

These are just three of the many amazing, well thought out characters that are introduced throughout the Hunger Games trilogy. These characters are very realistic and relate to me in many ways in my everyday life. Suzanne Collins is a phenomenal writer.
