I believe that fire itself is much like Katniss's personality and it represents her in a way because it has sparks. She has a certain attitude that is not very common among girls her age in the districts. She has guts and drive. She break laws on a daily basis to help her family (who should be the ones supporting her) survive!
ReplyDeleteFire is also dazzling and iconic. Katniss has been called a beauty by many of the other characters besides Peeta. She becomes an icon of the revolution much like fire is an icon in our daily lives. For example, the Olympic torch. We carry it over vast distances to unite the people globally as one through the spirit of the games and Katniss has become a similiar symbol of hope and unity for the districts.
The designer’s idea for District 12 was based on burning coal in fire which helps fuel machines. Maybe this is representing what Katniss can do for Panem. By burning her “coal” in a fire she will be noticed and, will fuel a rebellion against the capital. At the end of the chapter when Katniss is talking about the girl she did not help it feels like her strength or “fire” is hurt. She wants to hide from the girl, and at the end says “I wonder if she’ll enjoy watching me die” which shows lack of the confidence she had earlier.
