Who Would Survive Longer in the Hunger Games?

I Would Slay In The Hunger Games
By Karissa Valdez
If I were in the Hunger Games, would I survive? Absolutely not.
However, I would most certainly out live Kassandra.
First, I would have to present myself to all the districts watching the games. As most people know, Kassandra suffers from “RBF” (I will not elaborate on what this means, as it may not be appropriate). People may think that Kassandra is mean or rude, which will work forever in my favor.
Believe it or not, I like to think that I look more kind. Maybe the districts will think I am too innocent for the Games and feel bad for me. Their pity can result in sponsors, medicine, and food. I can definitely gain from that.
Now, when I actually enter the arena, I would follow my very simple strategy.
First, I would run straight for a backpack and hopefully be able to get some sort of weapon, preferably an ax.
Next, I would RUN FOR MY LIFE. I am not the best runner, but I am certainly not the worst. Hopefully I would be able to outrun any people that try to chase me. I would run as far as I could and hide in a cave or climb a very tall tree. Do I have climbing skills? I have no clue, but I can find out when the moment comes.
I would wait in my cave, or tree, for a good few days. I would live off the food my sponsors will hopefully send me. This strategy allows all my competition to kill each other off. They do all the work for me (hehehe). I then emerge from my cocoon of safety and try to survive the rest of the tournament.
The moment I stand face to face with an opponent, I AM DONE FOR. I cannot fight. I lack muscles. I have very little motivation to become violent. I think I’d cry before the fight even started. The moment I get hit is the moment I lose the games.
Obviously, I will have to face someone at some point or another. Therefore, I will not be winning the games. BUT, I will absolutely beat Kassandra.
Kassandra is terrible at anything physical. She can’t run. She can’t climb. She can’t hide. Nothing will work in her favor.
Kassandra is also petrified of blood. The moment she sees something gory she will pass out. She cannot handle being afraid. She will probably die from shock. The only thing needed to take her down is a cockroach.
Someone would take her down instantly or nature would eat her alive.
Overall, I would survive the Hunger Games longer than Kassandra.
Am I surviving? No. Beating Karissa? For sure.

I do not volunteer as tribute, but I would definitely outlive Karissa in the Hunger Games.
Now I know what you are thinking, if you came from her side of the story you have definitely heard about my lack of running skills.
But, running and athleticism are not the key factors of the game. It is a survival game of not only the fittest, but the greatest advantages lie in your sponsors and your public figure. As well as a well organized plan.
Raw athleticism and endurance is nothing without an idea of how to properly use it. If you think I’ll tell you my plan you are wrong, why would I share my plan of survival with the potential enemy?
Karissa and I basically being conjoined twins means we would definitely be together through it all. Even if I’m slow physically, and Karissa is slow mentally, we will balance out the work.
Me and Karissa could be a little team, winning the hearts of those who favor the love of a sibling bond. The sponsors would eat that up, I’m sure of it.
Even if they don’t, and we die very early in the games, I would not die before Karissa. I’m not saying I would win the game, but Karissa would probably be targeted by someone before me.
Probably for making fun of someone for wearing sandals.
Or maybe she would just give up halfway through because she wanted to eat popcorn with hot sauce instead.
Karissa becomes unmotivated very easily. As I type this story out, she has given up on her math homework, but you see how I am working hard on this story? Motivation is another key factor.
She isn’t very discrete either. Hiding in a cave won’t save her, all it would take is one joke from someone outside and she’ll cackle, exposing her hiding place.
Especially if we happen to be together, we can’t be silent for very long. Just yesterday I made her laugh so hard she spit out her water onto the floor, in class. Luckily our teacher didn’t notice, for Karissa’s sake I won’t say his name here.
Anyways, Karissa’s clumsiness will get her taken out before me, as for sponsors, Karissa wouldn’t be very popular among them. I don’t think she’s necessarily unlikable, but at the same time I can’t see her faking it enough to get a box of bandaids. She probably would miss the packages as they float down to her. I can only see Karissa making it past the first half-hour if I am there with her, so I really don’t think she could outlive me.
