In the movie The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence's character of Katniss Everdee relates to the character of Jessie. For one, they are both young people who have lived very sheltered and narrow lives without experiences from outside their confines. Also, they are both caught in two very different horrible situations that leaves both of them scarred and forces them both to seek a higher value in themselves and test both their mental and physical limits. Also, they both are caught in a battle to survive, but are both also tested by their moral strength as their morals decrease their possibilities of survival. For example, Katniss has a strong desire to survive and win the game for her little sister, but at the same time she battles with herself over the killing of people and also the killing of Peeta, who is from her district and whom she knows personally. For Jessie, he is caught in a battle between his survival and his empathy for the slaves, which he knows will get him into danger because of the mutinous crew and cruel captain. Both Jessie and Katniss both emerge out of their respective situations as different people and have grown and matured more than their age.
