A tribute to Katniss Everdeen

I once did a book project in my English class. For the project, I chose to write a poem based on the very first Hunger Games entry. Here it is:

I Am Katniss Everdeen

I am a competent and struggling hunter. 

I wonder if I will die in the Hunger Games or in District 12. 

I hear the song of a mockingjay.

I see the Career tributes trying to corner me.

I want to show the Capitol that they cannot own us.

I am a competent and struggling hunter.



I pretend not to give in to my wounds.

I feel danger on all sides.

I touch a bow and quiver of arrows.

I worry about my sister Prim’s well-being. 

I cry when my ally Rue dies. 

I am a competent and struggling hunter.



I understand why the Capitol treats us harshly. 

I say "I must do whatever I can to stay alive!"

I dream of pleasant times with my family. 

I try to avenge Rue’s death and put the Gamemakers to shame. 

I hope to be unforgettable. 

I am a competent and struggling hunter.
