Only one person can win. This is to remind the country not to rebel,and for entertainment, of course. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister, Primrose, is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place. Also selected is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son, who has a minor crush on Katniss. Maybe. Katniss is the main event of the Hunger Games. She is the star on the x-mas tree. Eithout her, there wouldn't be the facination from the audience. The hole time she's in the Hunger Games, Katniss slowly fades from hunter for her family, to hero for District 12. She makes and breaks bonds... All for Rue, the little girl from District 11. And of course her amily...
