Personal Synthesis + Feminist Analysis

Taking the Hunger Games book and perceiving it in a feminist way, I must say that this book is a great heroine. Not only does it provide a brave, independent  underdog (being from a district and all) but it provides challenges in a patriarchal society. It takes a woman and a young one at that and gives her many qualities that men usually and stereotypically posses; Katniss's hunting skills, her lack of showing emotion, the obsession with having control over her own life. Even though the Capitol literally decides everything for her future in a sense, there are still imperfections within the society that Katniss recognizes. With this she is able to rebel in a way that isn't straight forward rather it is done sneakily.
