An advice column for girls

____________________________________________

Character: Katniss Everdeen

Role: Advice columnist for a teen magazine.

Audience: Teenage girls

Format: Q & A Advice Column

Topic: Romance & Relationships

____________________________________

Gianna, age 15: There's someone I really like at school but they don't know I exist. Should I change my "look" to get their attention?

Katniss: You have to be true to yourself. You can't go changing just to please other people. Take me, for example, if I worried about what I looked like when I went hunting with Gale, my family would starve to death! If someone likes you, they like YOU, not what you look like. Hell, I got two love interests in my life, and neither one cares that my clothes are always dirty and torn and I usually have cuts and bruises on my face! (14).

Desiray, age 14: I'm a really fast runner and I love to run. The problem is, I'm faster than most of the boys at school and I think the boys are threatened by my speed. We have a big field day coming up and I'm supposed to run in the 5K. There's a guy I like who's also running, but he's slower than me. Should I let him win?

Katniss: Oh, honey. Don't go there. If this guy is so insecure that he can't handle a little competition, you don't want him! Confident guys aren't threatened by strong women. Look at Gale and me. He taught me how to hunt, and now I'm better with a bow and arrow than he is -- and he's proud of me. You keep running, girl! (34)

I chose a raised fist as Katniss's symbol because it usually represents rebellion, especially against something big like a government, which Katniss does.

____________________________________________

Character: Katniss Everdeen

Role: Guest on a tv show

Audience: General public/viewers

Format: Interview

Topic: The American Dream
____________________________________________

Interviewer: As part of our series on "The American Dream," we're asking famous Americans to give us their opinion on the state of "the dream" in the 21st century.

Today our guest is Katniss Everdeen, also known as "the girl on fire." Welcome, Katniss.

Katniss: It's a pleasure to be here, thanks for having me.

Interviewer: Let's get to it, shall we? Is the American Dream alive and well?

Katniss: Absolutely not. If the American dream is the idea that everyone who works hard in this country can reach their goals, then the American Dream is almost dead.

Interviewer: Those are some pretty strong words, Katniss. Care to explain?

Katniss: My parents worked hard all their lives and what did they get? My dad died in the mines and my mom fell into a depression so bad that she couldn't even take care of her kids (56).

Interviewer: Yes, that was a terrible tragedy your family endured. What about these days? Has it gotten any better in your opinion?

Katniss: No way. It's gotten worse. Now we can't even move freely around our own country, and we have to commit a crime in order to feed ourselves (76). That's not the American Dream. The American Dream is supposed to mean that even if you grow up poor like me, you can still make it in the world.

Interviewer: But haven't you made it? You're a celebrity now.

Katniss: Don't even go there! Did you not see what I had to do to survive? That wasn't a dream. That was a nightmare. I did all of those things against my will.

Interviewer: But you volunteered, no?

Katniss: Yeah, I volunteered but only to keep my little sister from being brutally murdered. I hardly call that a free choice (12).

Interviewer: Well, Katniss, we're almost out of time. Any last words for our viewers?

Katniss: Without freedom, no one can achieve the American Dream. If you want it back, you're going to have to fight for change. YOU are going to have to fight for a change (38).

Interviewer: Thanks for joining us today, Katniss.

Katniss: You're welcome, but it wasn't by choice, I'll tell you that.
