In the beginning of the book, when it is pointed out that Katniss's name is entered into the drawing twenty times, I thought for sure that she was going to be chosen. I give Katniss so much credit as she has taken over the position of her father who has passed away. She is now the caretaker of her mother and sister, Prim as she brings home the food with her incredible hunting skills. It is very brave of Katniss to enter her name numerous times in exchange for extra food and oil to support her family. I don't know how she does it, but I don't think that I could ever be that courageous and willing to enter my name into the drawing extra times. Katniss is strong and has character traits that I admire.
