BP #8 Ordinary world

For my ordinary world, I have chosen to look at the home of Katniss from the Hunger Games. Her ordinary world is District 12, the last of all districts in Panem. Here she lives in the Seam, The poorest part of District 12, with her sister and her half- alive mother, her best friend Gale and many other people including the mysterious bakers son, Peeta. Katniss feels alot of pressure in District 12 and rarely smiles. Some pressures placed on Katniss are that she has to feed her family, keep herself alive and lay low. It isn't until the reaping that Katniss is finally pushed to leave District 12 and join the games. of course, Katniss's ordinary world doesnt just include the Seam, it also includes  the forest beyond the fence where she spends many days hunting with Gale. As awful as life is in the Seam and no matter how hard you try food is scarce to come by its still home and theres always a place for hope.

"It was slow-going at first, but I was determined to feed us. I stole eggs from nests, caught fish in nets, sometimes managed to shoot a squirrel or rabbit for stew, and gathered the various plants that sprung up beneath my feet. Plants are tricky. Many are edible, but one false mouthful and you’re dead. I checked and double-checked the plants I harvested with my father’s pictures. I kept us alive". -Katniss Everdeen page 19
