In the book
The Hunger Games, Katniss's sister is chosen to compete in a game that will ultimately result in her death. Katniss volunteers to take her place out of a sense of love and duty. Think for a moment and then answer...could you sacrifice your life for someone you love?

I might. Maybe if i had a younger sibling (like Prim) that i was super close with. I then would sacrifice everything because i would know that he/she wouldnt make it. If one of my sisters were put up there, i also might do it. Otherwise, i probably wouldn't.
i would scarifice myself.if i loved someone so much i would becuse i care about them and i would not want them to get hurt or anything.i would never forgive myself if my loved one died or got hurt really bad.
yes of course i would!!! i have a younger brother and sister and they mean alot to me. i know it sounds cheesy but, even when they get hurt badly i feel sick to my stomach or feel the same pain. i don't know if anyone feels the same way, but i know that sometimes my siblings will get on my nerves but all in all i still love them! sacrificing my life for them or anyone i love is important. love like that is hard to find and when you feel strongly about them, sacrificing yourself isn't as hard to commit to...
I think I could sacrafice myself for someone I love, as long as they are in my immediate family. If I were in Katniss' situation I would because Prim would be my sister and I couldn't bear to let her go to those games and get killed.
I agree with mykaela, if someone I love gets hurt I feel pain also. It's a pycological pain that dwells in the depths of a person's mind, causing physical pain. I would sacrifice myself for someone I love, if I had enough time to decide. Most of us don't think well "on the spot" so people truthfully can't know if they are going to sacrifice themselves for someone. I don't know if the characters in this story had enough time to decide, so it really depends. It's like when you really want to say something, but it just won't escape your brain and reach your mouth. If you have enough time to think it through, you will most likely make the choice that you wanted to make all along. But if you have a specific time limit, like two seconds, your brain might not have enough time to even process what is happening, causing you to sit silently and miss the chance to speak, or in this case, the chance to save someone you love.
I probably would sacrifice myself. If I was close enough to her to actually feel saddened by her getting picked, I would go for it. There would also be a better chance of me getting out alive then my younger sister.
I would sacrifice myself because i know that if i really loved a person that got picked, id do it. I know that if we switched and i was the one who got picked, then that person would do the same for me.
like Bowen said it would depend on who it was and how close i was to them
I would sacrifice my life for my younger sister, I have a much better chance at getting out alive than her. I love her, and would want someone to protect me like that. My sister is so young, and hasn't had the chance to really live and love life yet. I want to give her that chance.
I would sacrafice my self because like Aralea my younger sister has not really had a longh enough time to veiw the world. Besides I am more likly to survive due to my superior strengh and inteligence. Another reason why because I have a strong bond with her and know that she would do the same
I would probably sacrifice myself like Katniss if i had her skill to hunt and find food or if i was sacrificing myself for my sister. I would hope that she would do the same for me. But there is always that chance that i won't make it back and I saved her for nothing. I just hope it wouldn't end that way. But for me to sacrifice myself it would depend on how close i was to that person and who they were.
If i had to sacrifice myself to save my sister, i would. Even though she would probably fight better, and she might have a better chance of surviving, i would still take her place in the games. I agree with mykaela and AmandaG that my sister is my best friend. She is the one i can turn to when i need to talk to someone besides my parents. If you truly love someone, you are willing to do anything for them, including sacrificing your own life fof their sake. Katniss believes she must stay alive because of her sister, so she does everything she can to stay alive for Prim, and Rue, who reminds Katniss alot of her sister. I would definitly sacrifice myself for someone i love, especially my sister.
I would sacrifice myself for a younger sibling because I know that I would have a better chance of surviving then he/she. Also I really love my family and I would do almost anything for them. They would probably do the same for me too.
I most definatley would! I could never stand there and watch my little brother go into the deadly games. I would rather sacrifice myself because like Joey M said I could have a better chance at living then my younger brother. I love my family so much I could never let them die. And Im sure that my parents and brother would sacrifice themselves for me aswell. This wuld be a horrible situation to be in,but I would sacrifice myself.
Yes, if it was someone I cared about I'd be taking their place in a heartbeat. If it were my little cousin, or my older brother I would risk it all for them. Its my own family and if I were given the choice I should save them. Even if there is no chance I could take their place, I'd find a way. Its family and they should always come first.
I agree with BowenS because if i did not have youger brother or sister i probably wouuld not go but because i have a brother i would. I also agree with maggie because if i could not fill in for my brother i would find a way. I would do anything to save my brothers life because i have known him and loved him for almost ten years. Anything to save my brothers life or keep out of danger i would do because i love him. I would also miss my brother if i did not go and he did. I don't think i could life knowning what my brother did.
Yes, I think I would sacifice my life for someone I love. I can't go through life knowing that I could've done something to stop the death of my loved one. I agree with Maggie. Family does come first. I would find a way. But the only thing is...I am the youngest of my family, having no skills in fighting and guns. My brother would be a better chose, but I would volenteer anyways, just for love. He has his whole life ahead of him.
Yes, I would sacrifice my self for someone I loved. I would have also went in place for my younger brothers if they were chosen for the hunger games because I am stronger than them and I would last longer. I also would take their place because it would be harder for my mother to lose them because they are so little and haven't lived their lives yet. Yes, I would put them before myself.
Yes, I would take the place of someone I loved in such a situation, IF this person was a member of my immediate family. If this person was someone younger and weaker than me, I surely would because I would have a better chance of survival, as CharlesM said. Also, most of the members of my family would do the same for me, so it would be rather stupid not to do the same for them.
Yes, I would sacrifice my life for someone I love. I have a younger, five-year-old brother who I would definitely sacrifice my life for. In fact, I would probably take my older brother's place if he were called up because I wouldn't be able to take it if he died if I could have saved him. I mean, it would be bad enough to know anyone had to fight to their death while I could stop it from being them, but one of my family? I would go insane. My older brother would have a better chance at survival in the Games than I would, but that wouldn't stop me. I know that he would do that for me so how on earth could I watch him die?
Well, it depends on if this person would do the same for me. If this person wouldn't, the person is not someone worth loving and I would not do the same for the person. The person would just take it for granted and might even forget about it. But, if this person really did love me, and I loved the person back, I would sacrifice myself
I would sacrifice myself for someone I love. Lives are not expendable, and for someone you loved it would be honorable for you to save their's over yours. If you truly love someone, you will do something as dangerous as risking your life for them.
YESS! I would totaly sacrifice my life for somebody I love. I have a younger sister, and she means alot to me. I would never want to see her in a fight for her life...EVER! Like mrs.edwardcullen said, my sister is my best friend. She is somebody to talk to, and shares my laughs and cries. I could never imagine sitting at home, and helplessly watching the t.v. I would know if everybody else was planning against her, but i couldn't do anything about. That would KILL me. I love her, and would definatly sacrifice my life for her.
This is a very simple question to answer. If i were in a life or death situation adn my mother's brother's sisters's life was in danger i would undoubtedly give my life for them.I would rather have them feel good that i would give my life up for theirs then me having to deal with the fact that i could have pervented their death and i would feel honored to die for them. I would rather die a brave man then a coward with the nightmares of their death.(I dont have a sister)
I see a lot of people that are very sure of themselves...take a second and reconsider. Put the question in a new light...would you take the blame for doing something terrible in order to keep a friend out of trouble...i.e. stealing from a teacher? It is easy to SAY you would do the honorable thing, but think through the consequences as well.
I would sacrifice my life for someone i love because that person means alot to me and i care about then. Another reason is that i love being with that person so i would'nt be able to live without them.
i wouldnt sacrifice my ife for just anyone i love, there are maybe a few people that i would, but depending on the situation, i think that people can do more than they think.. if someone i love was in danger and it was depending on me, i would do anything in my power to save them but at the same time keep my life. i deffinetly wouldnt be that willing but if i tried every possible thing i could manage than yes, i would sacrifice my life for someone i love. i would look at a few large consequences, one, obviously my life. two, i have worked at a hard level to get to accomplishing my dream and i would hate to loose it. third, i would have to leave the ones i love.
I think I would also switch places. If it is for someone I love or cared about alot then it would be hard not to. I wouldn't want to see a person a love have to leave forever. I agree with tkuch, if we really cared about eachother then the other person would do the same for me. I wouldn't do it if it was someone who I didn't know or anybody who I just didn't care about.
