We all deserve to win; we're fans of a brilliant trilogy of books with a brilliant author and a now brilliant cast. But I believe I stand out from the other contestants because I have seen Katniss as my role model from the beginning, but I also see myself in every character Suzanne has created! I see the determination and cut-throat attitude I have in my work-ethic in Clove's fierce nature; I see my vulnerability in Rue's youth. I see my weakness for beautiful things in Effie's capitol nature. I see my fear in the face of adversity in Haymitch's weakness for alcohol and tendency to give in before he met Katniss and Peeta. I also see my sense of justice in Thresh, leaving Katniss alive to repay her for her treatment of Rue. I deserve to go to the Hunger Games premiere because I am dedicated to these characters, these books, this author, and the cast as much as I am dedicated to my own personality and character. I read the books over and over, and loan them out to new readers as often as possible. I will be seeing the movie regardless, but going to the premiere would be the most amazing gift I could recieve. Thank you!
