Katniss stood and listened to the boring speech Effie always gave each year for the hunger games. She always thought that the whole thing was nonsense and she knew that the hunger games was only around for the Capitol to show the districts that they are not to be messed with, or even think about rebelling or they would end up in ashes just like District 13. Katniss was snapped out of her daze when her sister was called during the reaping. She knew what she had to do. She pushed her way through the crowd of girls and into the opening that went towards the stage. "Prim!" Some Keepers came and grabbed Katniss but she pushed through them. "I volunteer as tribute!" She said. Her heart was racing, she wasn't going to let her little sister go into the games and die.
