The decision

In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen year-old hunter and gatherer must face an internal conflict--sacrifice her life for her sister's once human lottery results are announced. The lottery is based on a system where children under the age of 18 are selected to compete in a survival game from different districts throughout the country, as a tradition of obedience directed from the government. Her sister, Primrose, "won" the lottery by being chosen to represent her district. Katniss conflicted within her own mind with whether or not she should allow her sister to probably sacrifice her life or take the chance that she, Katniss, could win the games . There is a series of heroic challenges that she knows she must face in order to return back home. This includes watching the other kids die in the competition right before her eyes . As she escapes to the woods, she is scared to go to sleep at night because she might wake up with a knife to her neck . She also must endure other obstacles like fireballs and ferocious wolves. The resolution to her conflict is not only her taking the place of her sister, but also the winning of the hunger games much to her surprise and everyone else's. In the end she did make the right decision because of her gut instinct and a lot of luck.
