  1. Katniss is really strong to be able to support her whole family. Her little sister seems to act as her motivation, even though she doesn't help bring food to the table. Their mother actually seems more of a dead weight than anything. I think Katniss is pretty lucky, even under her harsh circumstances in that she was able to befriend Gale, hunt every day, and bring food to her family and keep everyone maybe not super happy, but alive.

  2. Gale is her childhood friend that always goes hunting with her and is one of the only friends she can truly trust.
    Peeta is the other contestant from district 12 that got chosen to play in the hunger games as well, she doesn't trust him but her resolve is weak.

  3. The Capitol controls the 12 districts. And the Seam (district 12) is known to be the "weakest" out of all of them. The officials of district 12 seems corrupted and Haymitch Abernathy seems to be the only one to be upfront about it.
