I have also read this book and agree with all the character traits you chose. The direct support also identifies these really well.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that Katniss is courageous, caring, and independent. I like the direct quotes you got to support the traits you chose as well. Great post
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book yet but it seems like the character traits fit Katniss well. Very well written but just to help make it a little more clear to the reader you could make your quotations a different colour or make them bold.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I just read this book I also think that Katniss is courageous,caring,and independent.
