This book is very inspiring to me.  The brave, caring, passionate, intelligent, and fearless girl on fire Katniss never ceased to amaze me.  I felt like the whole time she was fighting for her life in the games she was really fighting for her loved ones back back in her home of District 12. I don't think I would have lasted even half of the time that she did in the games, but because of the passion she had for her family, it kept her on the right path.  When Rue and Katniss became allies I really thought things would get better for them both. I found it unique that Katniss took Rue under her wing almost like she was her little sister Prim.  After planning out a strategy to get to the cornucopia there was a mishap and resolves with the death of Rue.  When I read this I felt like I could cry.  Katniss shows her true colors once again when she surrounds Rue with flowers trying to give her a proper burial.  I admire Katniss in more ways than one.  She may have been weak at times due to everything going on in the games, but she never cracked under the pressure and I applaud her for that.  She also shocked me at the end when she failed to abide by the capitols standards and almost killed herself and Peta rather than crumbling under their feet.  Katniss made an impact on all the districts by how she acted and carried herself in the games.

 The less fortunate will always fight the hardest in my opinion because they have nothing to lose.  Yes, Katniss did have loved ones to lose, but other than that her life in District 12 wasn't very bright.  She was always hungry and looking for food.  In the end she endured the games and was able to go back to her family in District 12.
