Ok so I read the books back when they first cam out.... and then I watched the movies.... but recently I found myself on the Hunger Games side of Tiktok and they all had theories and all kinds of cool thoughts so it made me want to reread them..... but my focus is crap these days, so I listened to the audio!  

It's so funny because I think that Katniss is a very big hearted human.  She volunteers so that her sister doesn't have to go to the games.  She was nice to Peeta and wanted to repay him for the things that he did for her, but had a hard time reconciling that with the fact that only one could live through the games.  After he professed his love or her during interviews, she couldn't quite understand why he was working with the career tributes once they got into the arena.  She allies with Rue, who ended up being fantastic ad recon work and gave a lot of info!  And when she dies, Katniss grieved and paid tribute the best way that she could at the time.  Upon finding out that there was a possibility that there could be 2 winners if the last 2 tributes were from the same district, she sought out Peeta immediately!  And then did everything she could, including risk her life, to bring him back from the brink of death!  

Of coarse then the game makers try to change the rule revision at the last minute and she outsmarts them.... which puts a target on her back with the Capitol.  And now she must act as if she is in love with Peeta too..... which he gets really upset when he finds out she was playing along, but honestly this poor girl is so confused about her feelings.  She doesn't want to become her mother, she doesn't want to have kids and risk them being in the Games.  Peeta seems to have been crushin on her forever and she never knew..... now that she kind of knows, she doesn't grasp the extent of it.  And then she feels guilty about how this will affect Gale whom she has never shown and romantic feelings with.... and he hasn't shown her any, not that she would know if he did, she is pretty freaking clueless.   And the narration was ON POINT!  It was so good!  It literally pulled tears out of my eyes!
