After the reaping , Katniss stay strong to face anything that could happen in the future . She get into trouble when she first met her drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy , victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and determine the strengths and weaknesses of the other tributes . But all of this was Katniss misunderstanding Haymitch . During that time, Peeta reveals on-air his long time unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain sponsors , who can be critical to survival because of their ability to send gifts such as food, medicine, and tools to favoured tributes during the Games although he was not the person she love . Nothing she can do but just accept the offer .
The 74th hunger games finally reach , she take a big courage to step off the metal circle when the sound of gong sound release them . There are total 24 tributes from all district , that means she need to kill 23 person to win this hunger games .

However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others . Rue save her but after that she was killed by other tributes , whom Katniss then kills in self-defence with an arrow . This is the first time Katniss killed people but she was not regret . Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, and spreads flowers over her body as a sign of respect for Rue and disgust towards the Capitol. This shows that Katniss is a respectful and a kind person .
As a result , a rule change is announced midway through the Games, allowing two tributes from the same district to win the Hunger Games as a couple because of Katniss and Peeta's image in the minds of the audience as "star-crossed lovers" . Upon of this , Katniss felt it was a big chance to win the hunger games . She find Peeta immediately . Her perseverance brings her to Peeta who was wounded , hiding under the camouflage .

When Katniss and Peeta remains as the last two surviving tributes, the Gamemakers change back the rule again attempt to force them into a dramatic finale, in which one must kill the other to win. At that moment , Katniss know that the Gamemaker will never let both of them win , she make a last decision : retrieves highly poisonous berries known as "nightlock" from her pouch and offers some to Peeta. The gamemaker realize that both of them are ready to commit suicide , he then announce that both of them are the victors of the 74th hunger games .
