  In my book, The Hunger Games by Suzane Collins, the protagonist, Katniss, changes from becoming calm and easy to nervous and hard to deal with. I think a major factor in this change is that she is participating in the Hunger Games, which is basically like the gladiator fights of ancient Rome except with 12-year-old kids from different parts of the country. Also she has changed in this way because she was nervous about actually killing someone and being killed because she has to take care of her family. Also she has to try to kill her friend, Peeta if she wants to survive the games. She might also be angry because her friend betrayed her and is now joining an evil alliance to try to kill her.

  
   Also I think that Katniss will win this battle of wits because she is in a wooded area and she basically grew up in the woods and can climb trees easily. I think she will also win because if she gets a bow and arrow and goes into the trees she can just kill everyone from the trees. She is also faster and probably smarter about her environment then everyone else because like I said before she grew up in the woods. Also she has adapted to using the knife and she could probably be as effective as she is with the bow and arrow with the knife. But the problem with her is she isn’t that strong so if she were to be in a hand-to-hand conflict she would probably lose because everyone else seems to be strong. Also she could lose if someone had a spear, bow and arrow, or javelin and saw her, then they could probably easily kill her.
