Role model's

   There are many different people i look up to in life. All because of there actions and qualities. While i was reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins i noticed a very important role model, Katniss. I think Katniss is a great role model.
   One way i think Katniss is a great role model is because she is willing. For example,"you can opt to add your name more times in exchange for tesserae." "Each tesserae is worth a meager year's supply of grain and oil for one person.""So now, at the age of sixteen, my name will be in the reaping twenty times."Katniss is willing to risk her life for her family. By putting in her name twenty times she has a good chance of being called to fight to death. But since it is for her family she does it anyway. Her name was only supposed to be in the reaping five times. But she needed grain and oil for her family so she put it in fifteen more times just so her family can be well fed. I think it's a big job that Katniss takes, taking care of the family considering she is basically acting like the mother of the family, when she is only sixteen.
   Another way i think Katniss is a great role model is because she is courageous. For example,"I volunteer!" I gasp. "I volunteer as tribute!"Katniss basically is telling them that she is willing to die for her sister Prim, who was the original name that was called. Katniss didn't want her sister to have to fight in the hunger games. So she took her place instead. Even though she knows that it is a gruesome place and not may people survive. She is willing to have her life taken away from her for her family. I think she is the most courageous person i have ever met.
   In conclusion. I think Katniss is  a great role model. She is  both willing and courageous. I think these two qualities sum up to a great person, Katniss.
