Main characters task 2 - Hunger games

Learning outcome: Understand how characters are developed in a film.

Success Criteria: Explain how a character/s is portrayed using specific examples from the text.

Task 2: Identify 2-3 of these characters strengths in Katniss, Peeta and one other character of your choice.

Katniss - Katniss Everdeen portrays many strengths throughout the dystopian film 'Hunger games' but the two strengths that I have chosen to identify are love and creativity. Love is no doubt shown in his film. We see this when she volunteers as tribute to save her little sister Prim or when she mourned for her friend Rue. I also chose creativity because she somehow thought of a great idea to blow up her rivals supply such as food,weapons and traps. Because of this, Katniss is able to make original ideas that make it her own. Although Katniss has many strengths is still human meaning she has some weaknesses as well. One of the weaknesses happens to be social intelligence. Katniss is more of an independent woman shes not very social at all. She pushes away people several times and yet expects the other to just act like nothing happened making her social intelligence weak.

Peeta - In the dystopian film 'Hunger games' Peeta Mallark shows strengths that helps us understand Peeta on a deeper note. Creativity being one of them and Social intelligence as the other. Peeta shows creativity by camouflaging himself onto some rocks by using paint that was provided for him. He did this because he was hurt and couldn't carry on anymore. Another strength is social intelligence. Peeta shows this strength by pretending to be in a group of other tributes later splitting up. This is a great example because he was able to stay alive for the next 2 days. He also pretends to love Katniss so that she and him could get sponsors by adding drama into it. Like all, Peata has a weakness. His weakness is love. How? its because he loved Katniss so much that he couldn't bear to see her get hurt yet if she does he will feel as if he would want to give up.

Rue - For her young age, Rue shows an insane amount of strengths along the way. She shows bravery as well as teamwork. An example of Rue showing bravery is the scene where one of the tributes bet up another because it seemed as if he stole the other guys knife. But he didn't, instead rue stole it and if the owner of the knife found out Rue could've been snapped like a twig.
