Katniss Everdeen vs. Jo March

Little Women, Hunger Games, Jo’s boys, Catching Fire, Little Men, and Mockingjay… bookworm paradise! Katniss Everdeen tries to survive the gruesome Hunger Games. On the other hand, Jo March is having some situations as well along with the other Little Women. I am going to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games Trilogy) and Jo March (Little Women.)

When you first think of Jo and Katniss you think they from opposite sides of the world, but don’t be fooled. Katniss and Jo are very much a like in more ways than one. Throughout their stories they are both true to themselves, even if they sometimes they do struggle to be true. Katniss is always asking herself who she really fighting for in her stories, but then suddenly realizes that it is her own self she is fighting for. Jo does the same except in a different way; she always writes the way she wants to. She does what she desires, even if other people don’t believe in her. Another thing they have in common is their love for their family. Katniss is always constantly thinking of her sister, Primrose, and her best friends, Gale and Peeta. Jo March is always with her family and friends especially her sisters, the little women, Meg, Amy, and Beth. One more thing they both share is their bravery and their courage.  Katniss shows a lot of courage throughout Hunger Games; she was almost murdered in an arena, snuck into the forbidden woods, and started a rebellion. Jo may have not done anything like that, but she did think bravely. Most girls would stress on how they look or what dress they wear including her two sisters, Meg and Amy. Jo never tried to pretend who she was.

 

 

Even though Jo March and Katniss Everdeen have an abundance of similarities they have a many differences. Katniss and Jo are from a whole different time period. Katniss is from a more futuristic time period in District 12. Jo on the other hand is from the historical town of Concord Massachusetts from the time period from the 1700-1800s. Something else that makes them both unique from each other is they have very different problems. Katniss is trying to defeat the Capitol of Panem, while Jo is dealing with more realistic problems with family problems. The final thing they don’t relate with is their personality. Jo March is amazingly bold and bright; she doesn’t care if she falls, she will get right back up, even if it takes a couple of tries. Katniss is often trying to figure out who she really is, though she is has at the end of the trilogy.

Now you can see Katniss and Jo are similar in many ways, yet still different in others. I think my favorite character would be Jo March, because she is more realistic in many ways. I also love Katniss for her courageousness she shows in the Hunger Games.
