People can learn about life through the literary works. Literary works also presents some aspects of human life. Any aspects of human life are the portrait of the storyline of the literary works. Sometimes what people see and what they feel can be represented in the literary works. In Wellek and Warren’s Theory of Literature, said that literature is both general and particular or both individual and general. Individuality can be distinguished from complete particularity and uniqueness. Like every human being, each work has its individual characteristics; but it also shares common properties with other works of art, just as every man shares traits with humanity, with all members of his sex, nation, class, profession, etc (1963: 7). By reading a literary work, people can have a deeper understanding about the characteristics and the uniqueness of human being. People can learn the variety of human personality by reading a literary work. Moreover, literary works not only entertain the reader but give more understanding about many aspects of human being. According to Wellek and Warren’s Theory of Literature, literary work is “everything in print’ (1963: 9). Therefore, novel is one of a literary works because it is in print. When we are reading a novel, we must understand what is implied in the novel so that we can get the points. To get the points from a novel deeply, we should pay attention to the elements of the novel itself. People should understand about the plot, the setting, the conflicts, the characters of the novel so that we can PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI get the purpose of the writer about the story of the novel. In page 29, Wellek and Warren also discuss that the nature and also the function of literature must, in any coherent discourse, be correlative. Thus, not only understand about the content of the novel or literary works, the reader must think critically about the story. Literary works have the intrinsic and extrinsic elements. One of the intrinsic elements of literary works is character. When reading a literary works, there is a character that represents the story. In this study, the thesis writer sees the character has an important role in order to help the thesis writer and the reader in understanding the story of the novel itself. Every character gives a significant role in a literary work. In Harmon and Holman’s A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition discusses that Character is a complicated term that includes the idea of the moral constitution of the human personality, the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another (2009: 95). From that discussion, the thesis writer concludes that character includes the idea of the human personality, the presence of moral uprightness and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another. Character describes the personality of the individu and gives the idea about their life. It gives the idea that characters can be described through those points. The struggle that grows out the interplay of two opposing forces. Conflict provides interest, suspense and tension. At least one of the opposing forces is customarily a person. This person, usually the protagonist, maybe involved in conflicts of four different kinds (2009: 123). PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI relationship with Peeta, not Gale. President Snow wanted to know that the romance between Katniss and Peeta is real. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is chosen by the thesis writer because this novel can be the example to conduct a research about personality development of human being that is seen through the conflicts. The thesis writer can develop the personality development from Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts. This novel shows how Katniss Everdeen struggles over her conflicts and those can be the evidences of Katniss’ personality development through the conflict that she faces. Also, the topic of the thesis is not yet done by others. Moreover, the novel contains the main issue of Katniss Everdeen’s personality development through the conflicts that she faces. The thesis writer here wants to analyze deeply about the personality development of Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that affect her. Thus, the thesis writer formulates a problem formulation. Problem Formulation In a purpose to understand the novel better, the problem were formulated as follows. 1, What are Katniss Everdeen’s characteristics described in the novel? 2. What are the conflicts that Katniss Everdeen faces? 3. How do the conflicts cause Katniss Everdeen’s personality development? PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI C. Objectives of the Study After identifying the problem, then the thesis writer must go to the objectives of the study. It is based on the number of the question in the problem formulation that stated previously. The study is conducted in a purpose to understand the personality development of Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that she faces in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In the way to find that topic, the thesis writer tries to find the characteristic of Katniss Everdeen that are presented in the story. Then, the thesis writer is about to find out the conflicts that give an impact of Katniss’ life based on the story. When the discussion goes to the third question, the thesis writer is about to find out about the way of developing the characteristics of Katniss. D. Definition of Terms To avoid any misinterpretation in understanding the title, there are some explanations on several important terms mainly used and closely related to the topic. 1. Character According to A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition written by Harmon and Holman, it is stated that the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another (2009: 95). 2. Conflict In A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition by Harmon and Holman, conflict is the struggle that grows out the interplay of two opposing forces. Conflict gives PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI interest, suspense and tension between the protagonist character(s) against four kind of conflicts. At least one of the opposing forces is customarily a person (2009: 123). . Personality In Theories of Personality by Jess Feist and Gregory J. Feist discussed that the most important of personality is character, which defined as “the realtively permanent system of all noninstinctual strivings through which man relates himself to the human and natural world.” (2006: 196). . Personality Development Hurlock in Personality Development discussed that personality is the characteristics and qualities of a person as a whole. In literary work, personality is all the characteristics and also qualities that make the character or the imaginary person alive to the reader (1976: 108). PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 10 The Member of the Wedding is one of the literary works which themes about adolescence’s life. The story is about an adolescence named Frankie who changes her identity in order to be accepted by the society, because she confused about in which group and society she belongs to (2012:x) Trindade adds in page 2, that the writer describes the story about Frankie clearly and how Frankie feels to be in the phase that she is not included in the society. Frankie here tries to fight to get her true self-concept, as she ever said in page 5. From those related studies, the similarity is all the studies discussing the personality development in many aspects. The first study is analyzing about the changes and development of main character, Sandy Dumbrowski which causes the raising of curiosity. The second study is analyzing about the development character by Frankie and the changing after the character developing herself. Thus, between those studies and the study of thesis writer are similar because discussing about the personality development of the character in the story. However, the focus of my study is about the personality development of the main character, Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that she faces. B. _ Review of Related Theories There are some theories that the thesis writer uses in order to analyze the personality development that seen through conflicts in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. 1. Theory of Character and Characterization The theory on character is used by the thesis writer in order to explain how the main character is described and the type of the main character itself. Then, the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 11 theory of characterization is used by the thesis writer to get the concept of the characteristics of the main character itself. a. Theory on Character Based on Harmon and Holman’s A Handbook to Literature Eleventh Edition, character is the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another. Character is also a brief descriptive sketch of a personage who typifies some definite quality. The person is described not as an individualized personality but as an example of some vice or virtue or type, such as a busybody, a glutton, a fop, a bumpkin, a garrulous old man, or a happy milkmaid. Similar treatments of institutions and inanimate things, such as “the character of a coffee house,” also employed the term, and late in the seventeenth century, by a natural extension of the tradition, character was applied to longer compositions, sometimes historical, as Lord Halifax’s Character of Charles II (2009: 95) From that quotation, character is described not only as a person, but also as an example of human type. Character can be described as anyone, depends on how the reader expect it. Thus, the thesis writer with this theory tries to describe the main character’s characters and also the thesis writer wants to show that the main character, Katniss Everdeen is also the example of human type as the theory stated. The way to analyze that is by finding the characteristics of the main character in the novel. b. Theory on Characterization From Harmon and Holman’s book, in page 95 stated that characterization has three fundamental methods, the first one is the explicit presentation by the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI THE PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF KATNISS EVERDEEN THROUGH THE CONFLICTS IN SUZANNE COLLINS’ THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS Presented as Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Sarjana Sastra in English Letters By Michael Billy Surya Wijaya Student Number: 104214009 DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH LETTERS FACULTY OF LETTERS SANATA DHARMA UNIVERSITY YOGYAKARTA 2015 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI THE PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF KATNISS EVERDEEN THROUGH THE CONFLICTS IN SUZANNE COLLINS’ THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS Presented as Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of SarjanaSastra in English Letters By MICHAEL BILLY SURYA WIJAYA Student Number: 104214009 ENGLISH LETTERS STUDY PROGRAM DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH LETTERS FACULTY OF LETTERS SANATA DHARMA UNIVERSITY YOGYAKARTA 2015 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI A Sarjana Sastra Undergraduate Thesis THE PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF KATNISS EVERDEEN THROUGH THE CONFLICTS IN SUZANNE COLLINS’ THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE By MICHAEL BILLY SURYA WIJAYA Student Number: 104214009 Name Chairperson Secretary Member 1 Member 2 :Dr. F. ogyakarta, April 30, 2015 iv PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI LEMBAR PERNYATAAN PERSETUJUAN PUBLIKASI KARYA ILMIAH UNTUK KEPENTINGAN AKADEMIS ‘ Yang bertanda tangan di bawah ini, saya mahasiswa Universitas Sanata Dharma Nama : Michael Billy Surya Wijaya Nomor Mahasiswa —: 104214009 Demi pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan, saya memberikan kepada Perpustakaan Universitas Sanata Dharma karya ilmiah saya yang berjudul THE PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF KATNISS EVERDEEN THROUGH THE CONFLICTS IN SUZANNE COLLINS’ THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE Beserta perangkat yang diperlukan (bila ada).

From that discussion, the thesis writer concludes that character includes the idea of the human personality, the presence of moral uprightness and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another. Character describes the personality of the individu and gives the idea about their life. It gives the idea that characters can be described through those points. The struggle that grows out the interplay of two opposing forces. Conflict provides interest, suspense and tension. At least one of the opposing forces is customarily a person. This person, usually the protagonist, maybe involved in conflicts of four different kinds (2009: 123). PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI relationship with Peeta, not Gale. President Snow wanted to know that the romance between Katniss and Peeta is real. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is chosen by the thesis writer because this novel can be the example to conduct a research about personality development of human being that is seen through the conflicts. The thesis writer can develop the personality development from Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts. This novel shows how Katniss Everdeen struggles over her conflicts and those can be the evidences of Katniss’ personality development through the conflict that she faces. Also, the topic of the thesis is not yet done by others. Moreover, the novel contains the main issue of Katniss Everdeen’s personality development through the conflicts that she faces. The thesis writer here wants to analyze deeply about the personality development of Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that affect her. Thus, the thesis writer formulates a problem formulation. Problem Formulation In a purpose to understand the novel better, the problem were formulated as follows. 1, What are Katniss Everdeen’s characteristics described in the novel? 2. What are the conflicts that Katniss Everdeen faces? 3. How do the conflicts cause Katniss Everdeen’s personality development? PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI C. Objectives of the Study After identifying the problem, then the thesis writer must go to the objectives of the study. It is based on the number of the question in the problem formulation that stated previously. The study is conducted in a purpose to understand the personality development of Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that she faces in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In the way to find that topic, the thesis writer tries to find the characteristic of Katniss Everdeen that are presented in the story. Then, the thesis writer is about to find out the conflicts that give an impact of Katniss’ life based on the story. When the discussion goes to the third question, the thesis writer is about to find out about the way of developing the characteristics of Katniss. D. Definition of Terms To avoid any misinterpretation in understanding the title, there are some explanations on several important terms mainly used and closely related to the topic. 1. Character According to A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition written by Harmon and Holman, it is stated that the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another (2009: 95). 2. Conflict In A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition by Harmon and Holman, conflict is the struggle that grows out the interplay of two opposing forces. Conflict gives PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI interest, suspense and tension between the protagonist character(s) against four kind of conflicts. At least one of the opposing forces is customarily a person (2009: 123). . Personality In Theories of Personality by Jess Feist and Gregory J. Feist discussed that the most important of personality is character, which defined as “the realtively permanent system of all noninstinctual strivings through which man relates himself to the human and natural world.” (2006: 196). . Personality Development Hurlock in Personality Development discussed that personality is the characteristics and qualities of a person as a whole. In literary work, personality is all the characteristics and also qualities that make the character or the imaginary person alive to the reader (1976: 108). PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 10 The Member of the Wedding is one of the literary works which themes about adolescence’s life. The story is about an adolescence named Frankie who changes her identity in order to be accepted by the society, because she confused about in which group and society she belongs to (2012:x) Trindade adds in page 2, that the writer describes the story about Frankie clearly and how Frankie feels to be in the phase that she is not included in the society. Frankie here tries to fight to get her true self-concept, as she ever said in page 5. From those related studies, the similarity is all the studies discussing the personality development in many aspects. The first study is analyzing about the changes and development of main character, Sandy Dumbrowski which causes the raising of curiosity. The second study is analyzing about the development character by Frankie and the changing after the character developing herself. Thus, between those studies and the study of thesis writer are similar because discussing about the personality development of the character in the story. However, the focus of my study is about the personality development of the main character, Katniss Everdeen through the conflicts that she faces. B. _ Review of Related Theories There are some theories that the thesis writer uses in order to analyze the personality development that seen through conflicts in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. 1. Theory of Character and Characterization The theory on character is used by the thesis writer in order to explain how the main character is described and the type of the main character itself. Then, the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 11 theory of characterization is used by the thesis writer to get the concept of the characteristics of the main character itself. a. Theory on Character Based on Harmon and Holman’s A Handbook to Literature Eleventh Edition, character is the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another. Character is also a brief descriptive sketch of a personage who typifies some definite quality. The person is described not as an individualized personality but as an example of some vice or virtue or type, such as a busybody, a glutton, a fop, a bumpkin, a garrulous old man, or a happy milkmaid. Similar treatments of institutions and inanimate things, such as “the character of a coffee house,” also employed the term, and late in the seventeenth century, by a natural extension of the tradition, character was applied to longer compositions, sometimes historical, as Lord Halifax’s Character of Charles II (2009: 95) From that quotation, character is described not only as a person, but also as an example of human type. Character can be described as anyone, depends on how the reader expect it. Thus, the thesis writer with this theory tries to describe the main character’s characters and also the thesis writer wants to show that the main character, Katniss Everdeen is also the example of human type as the theory stated. The way to analyze that is by finding the characteristics of the main character in the novel. b. Theory on Characterization From Harmon and Holman’s book, in page 95 stated that characterization has three fundamental methods, the first one is the explicit presentation by the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 12 author of the character through direct exposition. Either in an introductory block or more often piecemeal throughout the work, illustrated by action. The second one is that the presentation of the character in action, with little or no explicit comment by the author, in the expectation that the reader can deduce the attributes of the actor from the actions; and the third one is the representation from within a character, without comment by the author, of the impact of actions and emotions on the character’s inner self. The explanation about those three fundamental elements are the first one is the author will explicitly describe the character through the direct exposition. It can also be explained by the action that the author illustrates through the story. The second one will be the actions of the character that explained by the comment from the author, so the reader can easily guess the character. The third one means that the character is clearly stated from the impact of the action that they do and the inner self of the character itself. 2. Theory of Personality The theory of personality is to identify how the main character is described as the characteristics of herself before it experiences the development. From Jess Feist and Gregory J. Feist’s Theories of Personality in page 196 states that Fromm quotes about his belief of character is a substitute for lack of instincts. Instead of acting according to their instincts, people act according to their character. In this book they add about if people have to stop and think about the consequences of their behavior, their actions are about to be very inefficient and inconsistent. People have to act according to their character traits. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 15 The thesis writer uses those two aspects, individual and also environment to analyze the main character, Katniss Everdeen. 4. Theory of Conflict The theory on conflict is used by the thesis writer in order to explain how the conflict can identify the personality development of the main character. Based on Harmon and Holman’s A Handbook of Literature: Eleventh Edition page 123 states that conflict is the struggle that grows out the interplay of two opposing forces. Conflict provides interest, suspense and tension. At least one of the opposing forces is customarily a person. Conflict is divided into 4 types of conflicts as seen in page 123, the first one is a struggle against nature, the second one is a struggle against another person, the third one is a struggle against society, and the fourth one is a struggle for mastery by two elements within the person. The first type, someone is struggle against nature means that someone who have conflicts not with somebody else, but with their condition, their situation in that time and perhaps with their character. The second type is struggling against other people. It means that someone has a conflict with somebody else. It can be with one person only or more. The third type is struggling against the society. It means that someone is having the conflicts with the society where they live. The society itself can be the amount of people who live there or the condition of the neighborhood. The fourth type is a struggle for mastery by two elements within the person. It means that the conflict is between the person and himself or herself, they battle PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 16 with their inner self because there is something that debatable in their mind, self and thought. C. Theoretical Framework To answer the questions from the first chapter, the thesis writer needs several theories to support those questions. There are four theories that used by the thesis writer in the analysis later. The first one is the theory from William Harmon and Hugh Holman in their book, A Handbook to Literature: Eleventh Edition, the thesis writer uses the theory of character to get the analysis of the main character more deep. The theory itself to answer the question number one. Also, the theory of characterization is applied to support and answer the question about how Katniss Everdeen is described. The second one is theory from Harmon and Holman’s A Handbook of Literature: Eleventh Edition, the theory of conflict. This theory is applied to analyze the conflict that Katniss’ faces. The third one is the theory of Jess Feist and Gregory J. Feist’s Theories of Personality. This theory is applied ti analyze the personality of Katniss Everdeen, the main character of the story. The fourth one is the theory from Elizabeth B. Hurlock’s Personality Development. The thesis writer uses the theory in order to analyze that Katniss Everdeen’s personality development can be seen through the conflicts that she faces. Thus, the conclusion of the study can be found from those theories that support this study. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY Object of the Study The object of the study is the second book of The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins entitled The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. This book is the New York #1 best seller and has won several awards, such as 2010 Children’s Choice Book Awards, Teen Choice Book of the Year Winner and Collins also got Author of the Year nominee from that. Another awards that given are #1 USA Today best seller, Time Magazine Top 10 Fiction books of 2009 and #1 Publishers Weekly best seller. The story begins with the victors of The 74" Hunger Games back after they won the game. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are no longer as romantic as they are in the arena. They are back with their own activities. Peeta is busy with baking and helping his family, Katniss is back with her hobby which is hunting and also Gale Hawthorne is accompanying her. However, their activities are spied upon Capitol. President Snow knows about their activities and not only that, every single activities is known by him. This is not good for both of them, especially Katniss. President Snow knows about the relationship between Katniss and Gale now. Then, President Snow came to Katniss’ house in Victors Village and asks the ‘truth’ to Katniss. After that, President Snow wants Katniss to convince him and prove that nothing is going on between her and Gale. 17 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS This chapter is divided into three parts. The first part talks about character and characterization of Katniss Everdeen as the main character in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The second part talks about the conflicts that Katniss’ undergoes in the novel. The third part talks about the personality development of Katniss that seen through the conflicts. A. Katniss Everdeen’s Character Description First, the thesis writer tries to see who Katniss Everdeen is by finding the information about her characteristics within the book. There, the thesis writer can show the characteristics and later the thesis writer can figure out Katniss Everdeen’s personality and how it is changed. In order to analyze the description of the main character in the story, the writer uses the theory of character from Harmon and Holman’s book, A Handbook of Literature: Eleventh Edition, character is the presence of moral uprightness, and the simpler notion of the presence of creatures in art that seem to be human beings of one sort of another. Then to get the deeper understanding, the thesis writer tries to see Katniss Everdeen’s personal description, speech, past life, reaction and her mannerism. This study discusses the main character, Katniss Everdeen. Katniss is 16 years old. She lives with her mother and her sister, Primrose Everdeen. Her father was 20 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 21 killed in the mines with several other miners in an explosion. After winning The 74" Hunger Games with Peeta Mellark. Katniss, her mom and Primrose moved into Victors’ Village. She has Gale Hawthorne as her closest friend and a lover. When she was in the arena, she only had Peeta Mellark as her friend. Then, she pretended that they were in love just to attract the Capitol so that they can survive in the arena. a. Independent Katniss Everdeen is an independent girl. It is described in the book. In the story, Katniss Everdeen is considered as an independent girl, although she has won the game before, she still take care of her family and not depending on her wealth after winning The 74'" Hunger Games before. The thesis writer reveals the independent character of Katniss Everdeen using the theory from Harmon and Holman and from the theory, the thesis writer can conclude the independent character of Katniss Everdeen in the page 4, when she tries to help Gale’s family who depends on the haul that Katniss’ bring from the woods, she said: It doesn’t matter for my mother and little sister, Prim anymore. They can afford to buy butcher meat in town, although none of us likes it any better than fresh game. But my best friend, Gale Hawthorne, and his family will be depending on today’s haul nad I can’t let them down. I start the hour-and-a- half trek it will take to cover our snare line (page 4). From that line, it is seen that Katniss is going to the woods and hunt some haul for Gale’s family. No matter the risk in the woods, she wants to take care of Gale’s family and help them because her family is more than enough now after PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 22 Katniss won The 74" Hunger Games. Even though Gale is not really happy with Katniss helps his family, but Katniss still helps his family. Another prove can be seen in the text below: I get a good haul from the traps — eight rabbits, two squirrels, and a beaver that swam into a wire contraption Gale designed himself. By the time I make it back to the fence that surrounds District 12, the sun is well up (page 6). Katniss often visits her old house all by herself just for checking the old stuff there or just simply changing her coat. She is still taking care of her old house because she feels comfortable with her old house. She decides to always visit her old house and take care of it by herself. She thinks that her old house is her real house therefore, she still takes care of her old house, so does Buttercup, Prim’s cat which also often sleeps there. Though Katniss is not really like Prim’s cat, but she still wants to take care of Prim’s cat. I wriggle through the opening at the bottom of the fence and come up in the Meadow, just a stone’s throw from my home. My old home. We still get to keep it since officially it’s the designated dwelling of my mother and sister. If I should drop dead right now, they would have to return to it. But at present, they’re both happily installed in the new house in the Victor’s Village, and I’m the only one who uses the squat little place where I was raised. To me, it’s my real home (page 6). When Katniss changes her coat, she sees Buttercup. Buttercup is Prim’s cat. She feeds him and she takes care of Buttercup although she does not like Buttercup so much. A wailing at the back door demands my attention. I open it to find Buttercup, Prim’s scruffyold tomcat. He dislikes the new house almost as much as I do and always leaves it when my sister’s at school. We’ve never been particularly fond each other, but now we have this new bond. I let him in, feed him a PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 25 From the quotation above, when Katniss Everdeen in train after she and Peeta got selected to be the tributes in Quarter Quell, she starts to care about Peeta, her partner. All she wants to do is just protecting Peeta and keeping him alive. Also, when she is about to face The Quarter Quell, all she wants is to get Peeta home and alive. She does not think about her own safety. She starts to think that all she wants to do is keeping Peeta alive and coorperating with Haymitch to do that by knowing her competitiors in the Quarter Quell and to do that, she gets the help from Haymitch. I’ve spent all these weeks getting to know who my competitors are, without even thinking about who my team-mates are. Now a new kind of confidence is lighting up inside of me, because I think I finally know who Haymitch is. And I’m beginning to know who I am. And surely, two people who have caused the Capitol so much trouble can think of a way to get Peeta home alive (page 203). Katniss always thinks about her friends, her family and barely thinking about her self. She takes care of somebody else first and she even wants to sacrifice herself to help the people she loves. Especially when Capitol or President Snow tries to hurt Gale, Peeta or her family, she stands before them to against the Capitol or even President Snow. c. Brave Katniss Everdeen is also described as a brave person. Although she got many problems, she faces those problems and always tries to find the solution of those problems. In the arena also Katniss Everdeen is not afraid with the trap there or with the other tributes. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 26 Even if I could figure out some way to escape — maybe get a rope up to that maple tree branch and climb out — there’d be no escaping with my family and friends now. I told Gale I would stay and fight, anyway (page 160). From the quotation above, Katniss said that she does not want to give up with all that Capitol or President Snow did. She wants to fight over no matter what the obstacles are. She always tries to do not think her problems to much so that she can focus on the arena and protect her family. That statement can be supported from page 161 when she keep focusing on her exercise and she does not let the problems bother her. Also, she said that: “Even if I could figure out some way to escape — maybe get a rope up to that maple tree branch and climb out — there’d be no escaping with my family and friends now. I told Gale I would stay and fight, anyway.” When we reach the square, it’s clear something’s happening, but the crowd’s too thick to see. Peeta steps up on a crate against the wall of the sweetshop and offers me a hand while he scans the square. I’m halfway up when he suddenly blocks my way. “Get down. Get out of here!” He’s whispering, but his voice is harsh with insistence. “What?” I say, trying to force my way back up. “Go home, Katniss! I'll be there in a minute, I swear!” he says. Whatever it is, it’s terrible. I yank away from his hand and begin to push my way through the crowd. People see me, recognize my face, and then look panicked. Hands shove me back. Voices hiss (page 104). Katniss is really sure that something terrible is about to happen, she tries to figure it out herself and Peeta Mellark tries to prevent Katniss get there. He does not want Katniss get involved in that trouble. People near the crowd also try to prevent her because they think that with Katniss in there, it only can make the condition more worst. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 27 “Get out of here, girl.” “Only make it worse.” “What do you want to do? Get him killed?” But at this point, my heart is beating so fast and fierce. I hardly hear them. I only know that whatever waits in the middle of the square is meant for me. When I finally break through to the cleared space, I see I am right. And Peeta was right. And those voices were right too. Gale’s wrists are bound to a wooden post. The wild turkey he shot earlier hangs above him, the nail driven through its neck. His jacket’s been cast aside on the ground, his shirt torn away. He slumps unconscious on his kneesm held up only by the ropes at his wrists. What used to be his back is a raw, bloody slab of meat. Standing behind him is a man I’ ve never seen, but I recognize his uniform. It’s the one designated for our Head peacekeeper. This isn’t old Cray, though. This is a tall, muscular man with sharp creases in his pants (page 104 — 105). Katniss here tries to save Gale, because first she realized something is happening in outside and she wants to know about that. When she knows that Gale is being bound by the Peacekeeper and Katniss wants to save him. She does not obey what Peeta and the people there said to get out from the crowd because she knows that something terrible just happened and she wants to know what it is. Peeta Mellark tries to make Katniss back home and he checks the crowd then informs Katniss what just happened at that time. However, Katniss still wants to go to the middle of the crowd. She believes that whatever happened in that crowd is meant for her. She is sure that the crowd has something to do the with her. When she finally breaks through the crowd, she knows that she is right. She sees Gale is bound and all his clothes cast away and he is hurt now. That statement can be supported in the page 106 when she realized that, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 30 My mind starts buzzing. No seafood. For weeks. From District 4. The barely concealed rage in the crowd during the Victory Tour. And suddenly I am absolutely sure that District 4 has revolted. I begin to question them casually about what other hardships this winter has brought them. They are not used to want, so any little disruption in supply makes an impact on them. By the time I’m ready to be dressed, their complaints about the difficulty of getting different products — from crabmeat to music chips to ribbons — has given me a sense of which districts might actually be rebelling. Seafood from District 4. Electronic gadgets from District 3. And, of course, fabrics from District 8. The thought of such widespread rebellion has me quivering with fear and excitement (page 165 — 166). She thinks that it is still possible to start the uprising and protest to the Capitol. She keeps thinking over it and from the story of Octavia, she realizes that there is something wrong when those districts stop supplying meals, electricity and fabrics for Capitol and Panem when there are no unusual things happening. She is excited of what is going on recently, the uprising of some districts. From the quotation above, Katniss starts to believe that there are some uprising happening in some districts after what she heard from Octavia and she wants to start the uprising just like the other districts. She really believes that when she can start an uprising, she can easily attack Capitol and many Districts are about to support her to be rebellious. Though Haymitch thinks that her idea is just not good, she wants to give it a try. Thus, her goal is to get her justice and to protect the people that she loves. e. Careless In the novel, Katniss Everdeen is also described as a careless person. This type is not something that can cause a simple thing in her life, but it can put her in the danger. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 31 She does not realize that when she is not careful about her daily activity after become the victor of the Games, she can cause some dangers in her life and also it can impact to her district. The first evidence is when Katniss spends her time with Gale in the woods. Katniss does not know that President Snow or the Capitol are about to know what happens between Katniss and Gale. Katniss thinks that President Snow only understand that Gale is her cousin. At that time, President Snow visits Katniss in the Victor Village. His appearance is suddenly shock her. Katniss does not expect to meet President Snow in her house. President Snow begins to question about some things about Katniss. He starts to open the conversation between him and Katniss about the poisonous berries that she pulls out in the arena. Katniss and Peeta are threatening the Gamemakers if they do not let Katniss and Peeta declare as the winner, they are about to eat that poisonous berries thus the Gamemakers do not have the victor. Her action can cause the uprising in many districts. Katniss does not think about that. President Snow considers it as the uprising thing, that is one of the reasons why President Snow visits Katniss in her house. Katniss is not ready for visitors in her house, especially President Snow. When she sees President Snow in her house, she realizes that she is in big trouble right now. Another business that President Snow wants to ask to Katniss is about her relationship with Gale Hawthorne. President Snow smells that Katniss and Gale is PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 32 not just a family-realtionship but more than that. President Snow starts to attack Katniss about the complicated relationship between Katniss, Peeta and Gale. Clearly, President Snow does not believe Katniss when she admits to public that Gale is her cousin. President Snow knows that Katniss is being indifferent. “At what point did he realize the exact degree of your indifference?” he asks, dipping his cookie in his tea. “Tm not indifferent,” I say. “But perhaps not as taken with the young man as you would have the country believe,” he says. “Who says I’m not?” I say. “T do,” says the president. “And I wouldn’t be here if I were the only person who had doubts. How’s the handsome cousin?” (page 23 — 24). After the Games, Katniss and Peeta barely show their romance. President Snow smells something from that. He may thinks that their romance is fake and in fact never happen. What President Snow sees in the previous Games, those are not exist anymore when Katniss and Peeta in their daily life. They seem have their own activities and forget about their romance. She does not realize that President Snow has the power to get the information from anywhere. She forgets that President Snow can easily know about everything she does, even though she is not in the arena anymore. B. Katniss Everdeen’s Conflicts After identifying the characters of Katniss Everdeen, the thesis writer also tries to analyze the conflicts that affect Katniss Everdeen’s personality. In chapter two, the thesis writer already mentioned that there is a develpoment in Katniss PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 35 else does President Know? How does he know it? Those questions begin to run in Katniss’ head and she is afraid that something bad about to happen. The conflict is not just between Katniss and President Snow. When Katniss in the arena of The Quarter Quell, she is the enemy of some tributes who dislike her. She has conflict with other tributes. Fortunatelly, Katniss still has several people in the arena that she can trust, she can get help from the others. Katniss also knows that she can not trust all the tributes in the arena, because she does not know who are she going to be trusted. Katniss just has one goal to get back home and rescue Peeta Mellark and do not thinking about the other tributes. She does not care also about her safety. All she can think is just rescuing Peeta and get back home alive. When the announcer says that The Quarter Quell is about to start, Katniss begins to focus that she has to get a weapon for her. Then, she is running to catch the Cornucopia, the place that all the weapons are there. She starts to go to the Cornucopia. When she is get there, she realizes that someone is behind her. She begins to warn herself and there is Finnick. At first, she does not want to believe him, but Finnick says that he is one of her allies because he has the gold bracelet from either Haymitch or Peeta, which as the sign that they are allies. Although Finnick gets the gold bracelet as the symbol that they are allies, Katniss still wants to process the truth that Finnick is her allies. She does not want to trust him easily. Finnick, glistening and georgeous, stands a few yards away, with a trident poised to attack. A net dangels from his other hand. He’s smiling a little, but PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 36 the muscles in his upper body are rigid in anticipation. “You can swim, too,” he says. “Where did you learn that in District Twelve?” “We have a big bathub,” I answer. “You must,” he says. “You like the arena?” “Not particularly. But you should. They must have built it especially for you,” I say with an edge of bitterness. It seems like it, anyway, with all the water, when I bet only a handful of the victors can swim. And there was no pool in the Training Center, no chance to learn. Either you came in here a swimer or you’d better be a really fast learner. For a moment we’re frozen, sizing each other up, our weapons, our skill. Then Finnick suddenly grins. “Lucky thing we’re allies. Right?” Sensing trap, I’m about to let my arrow fly, hoping it finds his heart before the trident impales me, when he shifts his hand and something on his wrist catches the sunlight. A solid-gold bangle patterned with flames. The same one I remember on Haymitch’s wrist in the morning I began training. I briefly consider that Finnick could have stolen it to trick me, but somehow I know this isn’t the case. Haymitch gave it to him. As a signal to me. An order, really. To trust Finnick (page 269 — 270). In the beginning of the game, one of her allies, Finnick Odair tells her that she can not trust tributes from District One and Two. Katniss and Finnick start to coorperate to attack the other tributes and to survive in the arena. Thus, in the arena, Katniss and her allies have several enemies from the other tributes in The Quarter Quell. Katniss is still in her way to trust Finnick here. She does not want to get trapped in Finnick’s plan or any other plan that arranged by anyone else. However, she does not have any time to question all of these plan. She just want to have allies. She wants to ask Finnick about many things, especially when he gets the sign from Gale. Does Finnick stole it or Finnick is truly one of her allies. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 37 I can hear other footsteps approaching. I must decide at once. “Right!” I snap, because even though Haymitch is my mentor and trying to keep me alive, this angers me. Why didn’t tell me he’d made this arrangement before? Probably because Peeta and I had ruled out allies. Now Haymitch has chosen one on his own (page 270). Katniss is angry because Haymitch does not tell her about his plan. Though Haymitch does this plan to keep her alive, still Haymitch needs to tell Katniss first about the plan. She is still questioning about Haymitch’s plan in this game. “Duck!” Finnick commands in such a powerful voice, so different from his usual seductive purr, that I do. His trident goes whizzing over my head and there’s a sickening sound of impact as it finds its target. The man from District 5, the drunk who threw up on the sword-fighting floor, sinks to his knees as Finnick free the trident from his chest. “Don’t trust One and Two,” Finnick says. There’s no time to question this. I work the sheath of arrows free. “Each take one side?” I say. He nods, and I dart around the pile. About four spokes apart, Enobaria and Gloss are just reaching land. Either they’re slow swimmers or they thought the water might be lacedwith other dangers, which it might well be. Sometimes it’s not good to consider too many scenarios. But now that they’re on the sand, they’ll be here in a matter of seconds (page 271). Katniss realizes that the other tributes, which are not her allies approaching her, so she quickly picks the useful weapons for her and she commands Finnick to do the same thing. When Enobaria and Gloss are approaching, Katniss and Finnick are ready to attack them. I shoot an arrow at Enobaria, who’s gotten in too close for comfort, but she’s expecting it and dives back into the water before it can find its mark. Gloss isn’t quite as swift, and I sink an arrow into his calf as he plunges into the waves. I sling an extra bow and a second sheath of arrows over my body, slide two long knives and an awl into my belt, and meet up with Finnick at the front of the pile (page 271). Katniss tries to shoot them but it fails to catch them. Enobaria and Gloss are not easy to attack. That is why, Katniss needs a plan to attack them when they are PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 40 Katniss does not follow what the people say to her. She finds Gale is hurt there and she is very shock because of that. Katniss realizes that those people are right, she is better not looking at the condition there. Another conflict between Katniss Everdeen and the society shows when Katniss is on the Victors’ Tour. The next conflict here is between Katniss and the people from all the districts. Katniss and Peeta as the victors from The 74" Hunger Games have to visit all the districts to claim their victory. They have to present their speech, say thanks to the family of the other fallen tributes and greet all the people there. However, this tour is not just that. When Katniss and Peeta give their speech, Katniss sees not cheering that all the people give to them, Katniss sees that all the people in those districts are not cheering Katniss and Peeta when they come. Katniss sees that the people are angry. They seem do not like about the tour. They want Katniss and Peeta give a different kind of speech, not just thankful that they are the victors and salute the Panem. They want Katniss and Peeta tell them the truth about their feelings. The people know that they do not give their speech from their heart. The speech is scripted. The people try to protest and insist Katniss and Peeta to tell the truth when they are in the tour. The people do not want to her the scripted speech. They want the real speech from Katniss and Peeta. c. The Struggle For Mastery by Two Elements Within The Person The third type is the struggle for mastery by two elements within the person. It means that there are two opposite thoughts battle in somebody’s mind. This type PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 4l of conflict is the conflict between the person with her or himself. She or he has conflict with their inner self and there are some things which are debatable and only that person can solve the conflicts with their self. In this case, Katnis finds that she battles herself lots of time. She has the conflicts with her self. For example, when she is in the wood and she can not forget about the last game. She is terrified. The Victory Tour that she is about to take just reminds her about the game. She is never going to forget about that and if it is up to her, she tries to forget the game and never be in that arena. If it were up to me, I would try to forget the Hunger Games entirely. Never speak of them. Pretend they were nothing but a bad dream. But the Victory Tour makes that impossible. Strategically placed almost midway between the annual Games, it is the Capitol’s way of keeping the horror fresh and immediate. Not only are we in the districts forced to remember the iron grip of the Capitol’s power each year, we are forced to celebrate it (page 3 — 4). The Victory Tour is just remind her of the Games. She does not want to remember the Games. It is too scary and she can not take off the memories of the Games because of the tour that reminds her everything about the last Games. After Katniss finds out about the Quarter Quell and figures out that she is back into the arena again, she is shock. She can not believe that she is about to compete again and survive in the arena. She does not want to go back into the arena anymore, but she can not. She is upset and disappointed. She runs into somewhere else that she finds peace at the moment which is the woods and forget about the shocking news about the Quarter Quell. She has no direction. She wants to run away from the reality. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 42 My body reacts before my mind does and I’m running out the door, across the lawns of the Victor’s Village, into the dark beyond. Moisture from the sodden ground soaks my socks and I’m aware of the sharp bite of the wind, but I don’t stop. Where? Where to go? The woods, of course. I’m at the fence before the hum makes me remember how very trapped I am. I back away, panting, turn on my heel, and take off again (page 174). After she finds that she is back into the arena, another conflict with herself is when Katniss thinks about her goal in the Quarter Quell. She battles with herself that she is about to do anything to keep Peeta alive. The previous games when she competes there, all she wants to do is survive and get back home. That is her promise to Prim, her sister. Now, her goal seems change. She does not care about herself anymore. I remain at the window long after the woods have swallowed up the last glimpse of my home. This time I don’t have even the slightest hope for return. Before my first Games, I promised Prim I would do everything I could to win, and now I’ve sworn to myself to do all I can to keep Peeta alive. I will never reverse this journey again (page 188). Katniss knows when in the arena she must aware with the other tributes and never trust them easily. When Finnick tells her that they are allies, she does not easily believe him. Although Finnick saves her when the other tributes try to kill Katniss. When Katniss, Peeta, Mags and Finnick in their way to get in the arena, Katniss thinks about being allies with Finnick. She battles over herself, and says if Finnick is one of her allies or not. She wants to believe him but on the other hand, she can not easily trust someone in the arena, Finnick can be the traitor when she is not aware about his goal in this Quarter Quell. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 45 However, she does not remember that some people may watch her activities. Katniss can not easily sneaks into the woods or even meets Gale. Some people are spying her. Some people want to make sure about Katniss and her daily life. When Katniss meets Gale in the woods, she does not realize that President Snow has people that can be his spy to watch Katniss from distance and finally get the information about Katniss. To get the clarification, President Snow visits Katniss in her house. He wants the correct information and clarification from Katniss herself. He wants Katniss not to lie about the truth as seen in page 19, “I think we'll make this whole situation a lot simpler by agreeing not to lie to each other,” he says. “What do you think?” Katniss is not ready about this. Katniss does not know that President Snow in her house. In fact, not only about Katniss relationship with Gale that makes President Snow visits her. When she is in the arena with Peeta Mellark, she pulls out the poisonous berries there. She threats that she is about to eat the berries if the Gamemakers at that time does not let both of them win the Game. President Snow considers it as the uprising thing. “T have a problem, Miss Everdeen,” says President Snow. “A problem that began the moment you pulled out those poisonous berries in the arena.” That was the moment when I guessed that if the Gamemakers had to choose between watching Peeta and me commit suicide — which would mean having no victor — and letting us both live, they would take the latter (page 20). PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 46 What Katniss does really attempt the uprising. President Snow considers that Katniss can cause a big riot in other districts. The prove is clear, because after that, Seneca Crane, the Head of the Gamemakers has been executed. ii. From Independent Person into Dependent Person At the first chapter of the novel, Katniss is known as an independent girl. She can manage herself though she is the victor of the Game. She still help Gale’s family by hunting in the woods and she is not using her wealth to live. She does not stop her activity to get a haul and take care of her old house. She often visits her old house just to take a rest or just to clean it up. Her prize as the victor of The 74'" Hunger Games is just for her mother and Prim, her sister. Otherwise, she can take care of her self and help Gale’s family, thus Gale can focus on his work. However, it seems quiet different in the Quarter Quell. She is being dependent when the reaping is started. The capitol has made this year’s Quarter Quell different from the previous Game. All the remaining victors from each districts are about to compete again in the arena. This decision makes Katniss can only depend on plans. The plans are not only her plan to save Peeta, but also Haymitch plan to keep her and Peeta alive. The other tributes consider Katniss as the strong tribute and unbeatable. Katniss is great with her arrow. She shows them when they practice to prepare the Games. Almost half the tributes want to coorperate in the arena with her, thus Katniss must decide who are her allies. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 47 Katniss must be dependent on this plan. She must cooperate with other tributes because this Games is different from the previous Games she won. The tributes here are also known as the remaining victors. They are all great because when they become the victors, they also have a plan to win. Katniss must cooperate with the other tributes and depend on this plan. She does not have another choices than to be dependent in this time. Before President Snow announces the changing in the Quarter Quell, Katniss can be independent girl, because she can help Gale and his family and haunt in the woods because after she becomes the victor of the previous Games, she can live without her facilities and her wealth. However, in the Games, she can not be independent. She must cooperate with some tributes in the arena though she barely believe them. Katniss still in the process to believe them, and sometimes there is a conflict between them. I know I can’t kill her right now. But it’s just a matter of time with Johanna and me. Before one of us offs the other. “Maybe we all had better be careful where we step,” says Finnick, shooting at me a look. He takes the coil and sets it on Beete’s chest. “There’s your wire, Volts. Watch where you plug it.” (page 328). When in the arena Katniss questions about the cooperation. In the end, only one victor can through the Games and she does not want to be the traitor and she wants to quit the plan and survive the Games by herself. Peeta convinces her not to quit from this plan. He thinks that Katniss can not survive alone in this time. That is the reason why they must have allies. However, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 50 I turn to Rue’s family. “But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she’ll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim.” My voice is undependable, but I am almost finished. “Thank you for your children.” I raise my chin to adress the crowd. “And thank you all for the bread.” (page 61). After she says that, one old man gives a sign of Mockingjay. That sign consider as the rebellion sign, that’s why after that, the Peacekeepers kill that old man and Katniss is shock. She can not believe her sorry to Rue can kill an old man. She is afraid and at once she does not want to continue the tour. Then, from somewhere in the crowd, someone whistles Rue’s four-note mockingjay tune. The one that signaled the end of workday in the orchards. The one that meant safety in the arena. By the end of the tune, I have found the whistler, a wizened old man in a faded red shirt and overalls. His eyes meet mine. We would be safe inside the Justice Building by now, if I hadn’t stopped, if I hadn’t left my flowers. Instead, from the deep shade of the verandah, wee se the whole thing. A pair of Peacekeepers dragging the old man who whistled to the top of the steps. Forcing him to his knees before the crowd. And putting a bullet through his head (page 61 - 62). She can not believe that the Peackeepers can do that. The old man does not have any fault. He only whistles the four-note of the mockingjay’s song. Katniss is questioning that what the old man does is one of the rebellion signs. ii. From Rebellious Person into Obedient Person In the previous discussion, the thesis writer adresses that Katniss’ speech cause a trouble. The Peacekeepers kill the old man who whistle the mockingjay’s song. After that accident, Katniss and Peeta follow Haymitch to talk about what goes on PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 51 while they give their speech. Haymitch does not want Katniss and Peeta repeat another mistake. Haymitch wants Katniss and Peeta give the speech based on the script that Effie gives to them. They do not have to add any details or any words. Their speech can cause a big trouble so Haymitch wants they do not start any single mistake that can lead it into uprising act. “What happened?” he asks. Peeta relates all that occured in the square. The whistle, the salute, our hesitation on the verandah, the murder of the old man. “What’s going on, Haymitch?” “Tt will be better coming from you,” Haymitch says to me. I don’t agree. I think it will be a hundred times worse coming from me. But I tell Peeta everything as calmly as I can. About President Snow, the unrest in the districts. | don’t even omit the kiss with Gale. I lay out how we are all in jeopardy, how the whole country is in jeopardy because of my trick with the berries. “I was supposed to fix things on this tour. Make everyone who had doubted believe I acted out of love. Calm things down. But obviously, all I’ve done today is get three people killed, and now everyone in the square will be punished.” (page 65). Katniss tries to make a confession that all she wants to do just to fix things. She does not mean to get people killed. She does not want to kill people anymore. She admits that what she does get cause worst trouble to others. She realizes that, she does not want to rebel anymore. She wants to obey everything that Haymitch or Effie says to her. Thus, Haymitch warns Katniss and Peeta to stop that action which can cause trouble. Haymitch wants Katniss and Peeta to be honest to each other. No more secrets between them and they also can say what they do not like to each other. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 52 Haymitch does not want any of this happen again. Haymitch also wants Katniss and Peeta to be honest to him and also the rest of the team too. Haymitch also promises that they are always fully informed about anything from him as seen in page 67, “From now on, you’ll be fully informed,” Haymitch promises. After Haymitch says that, Katniss and Peeta follow the rules that Haymitch says. They do not want to cause any trouble and Katniss also wants to convince President Snow. Katniss still thinks of all those things that happen so fast to her and it is so unbelievable. She still can not believe that everything she does can lead to trouble. Everything is happening too fast for me to process it. The warning, the shootings, the recognition that I may have set something of great consequence in motion. The whole thing is so improbable. And it would be one thing if I had planned to stir things up, but given the circumstances . . . how on earth did I cause so much trouble? (page 68). From the changes that happen to Katniss, it is obvious that there are some developments in Katniss’ personality. The development can cause a bad and good improvement in Katniss’ life. The thesis writer concludes that the result of Katniss’ personality development makes Katniss to be more realistic person. At first she is a productive character, which means Katniss can solve her dilemma with working, loving and reasoning based on Theories of Personality by Jess Feist and Gregory J. Feist. After she faces the conflicts, Katniss faces several changes such as from brave character into coward character, from rebellious character into obedient character, careless character into careful character and PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 55 The second one is the struggle against society. This conflict is between Katniss and a group of people, which is in the story is her neighborhood and the people in other district when she is on tour with Peeta Mellark. The last one is the struggle for mastery by two elements within the person. This is when Katniss Everdeen has conflict with herself. She wants to do something but there are some battles in her inner self and only Katniss can solve that. Regarding to the characteristics and the conflicts in Katniss Everdeen’s life, the next question is analyzing the personality development that happens in her life through the conflicts. There are two conflicts that influence Katniss Everdeen’s personality. The first one is the conflict with President Snow, which is the struggle against another person and the second one is the conflict with herself, or the struggle for mastery by two elements within the person. The first conflict is when she faces the conflict with President Snow or the struggle against another person. This conflict has changes Katniss from a careless person into a careful person. After President Snow knows another relationship between her and Gale Hawthorne, at first she does not realize about that. Now, when President Snow threats her, she is become more careful with that and try to convince President Snow about her relationship with Peeta Mellark, and she has nothing to do with Gale. The conflict between Katniss and President Snow is also changing Katniss from independent girl into dependent girl. When President Snow knows everything, she must depend on the plan from her team that can save her life or the others from President Snow’s threat, including when she is in the arena of the Quarter Quell. The last conflict that influences Katniss’ personality development is the conflict between her and herself. This conflict changes Katniss in two personalities. The first one is from a PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 56 brave person into a coward person. At first, Katniss known she wants to fight anything if it is bothering her or her family, and also she wants to start an uprising. However, she is afraid of losing her family and her people she loves. She does not want they get any trouble. She wants to attack Capitol, fight back to President Snow, but it can cause her family in danger. She can not do that. Besides that, this conflict also changes Katniss from rebellious person into obedient person. When in the tour, Katniss and Peeta must give a speech to the family of the fallen tributes in other districts. She can not handle it when she is in District 11, the district that send Rue as the tribute in the previous Game. She gives a speech not based on the script that Effie gives, and her speech cause a riot in that district. Haymitch sees that and he does not like it. He wants Katniss to obey anything that Haymitch or Effie give to her. She agrees with that and she does not want to rebel anymore. She wants to stay on the plan. From the discussions above, the thesis writer can conclude that Katniss Everdeen now become the nonproductive person from those characteristics that describe her. She does not want to do anything that can lead any troubles. In this chapter, the thesis writer also can conclude that the main character in the story, Katniss Everdeen’s personality develops because of the conflicts she faces. This conclusion comes out after analyzing the main character’s description, the conflicts of the main character and also the the factor that lead personality development of the main character of the story.
