A major quote in the book so far is when the main character, Katniss says, " I love Prim more than anything" (35). This is a major quote because Katniss volunteers herself for the hunger games and replaces her sister, Prim from going to the hunger games. Prim is only 12 years old and Katniss knows she has no chance of survival at the hunger games. This quote shows how much she loves her younger sister and what she will do in order to keep her safe. Katniss also shows her love towards Prim when their father died and their mother went into a downward spiral and Katniss had to take over as the head of the family. She hunted for food and traded with people so she could feed Prim and her mother. She risked being caught or eaten while hunting but did it anyways because she knew her sister and mother would starve to death. Her love towards Prim is stronger than anything because she will risk her own life before she allows Prim to risk her life. Katniss does this because Prim is only 12 and she believes that Prim hasn't had the chance to live yet and Katniss wants her to live to a very old age and that wouldn't happen if Katniss didn't volunteer herself for the hunger games instead of her sister.
