The Girl Who Was on Fire, essays by many authors (spoiler alert)

     Currently I am reading The Girl Who Was on Fire. The Girl Who Was on Fire is a book of essays written about The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. I am going to be writing an essay about the essay in the book called Team Katniss, written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
          In Team Katniss, written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, it talks about the love portion of The Hunger Games. For those of you who have never read the hunger game, Katniss (the main character) has two boys (Peeta, and Gale) in love with her, the difference between their relationships is that Katniss and Gale are very close friends, and Katniss and Peeta barely know eachother, although Peeta has always had a crush on Katniss. Peeta and Katniss are put into the hunger games against each other and are forced to kill each other. Katniss is very skeptical of Peeta's love for her even though it's very obvious to the reader that he loves her. 
     I personally didn't like Katniss's character, because I thought she was to skeptical, and the idea that anyone liked her was shocking to her. She always seemed very tense to me, and it annoyed me how she was mad at Peeta for saying he loved her, because she thought he was lying. Even if he was lying,(which he wasn't) it's a complement, so I don't understand why she can't just accept that.
     In the last paragraph I explained why I didn't really like Katniss's character, but in In Team Katniss, written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, explains why she does like Katniss's character, she explains that Katniss has absolutely no desire to be famous, which is true, but I still feel like she should be proud that she won, instead of acting like it was a burden, now don't get me wrong being in the hunger games is not fun, but it's an honer to win it, so I think she should be a little bit more proud, tons of other kids would have loved to win, and here she is with amazing food for a year, and every one in district 12 thinking she's a hero, and she's complaining about it.
     In conclusion, I think Katniss is a very strong person, but I think she should be more aprecitative of the good things in her life, instead of focusing on the bad ones.
