Cinder Linh is one of the main characters in my book, Cress. To describe her would be to say that she is very brave, determined, but also kind, and caring. In a way, she kind of reminds me of Katniss from the Hunger Games. She is the type that would do brave, and daring things, but would not appreciate a lot of publicity from it. An example from Cress is, "She raised her head. The woman was still beaming. 'Yes?' 'You are brave and beautiful.' She tensed, feeling the woman had threatened her than complimented her...The woman kept smiling.'Um. Thank you?'" (Meyer 220). This example shows that Cinder does not exactly know how to respond, and she sure doesn't bask in the admiration. Just as Katniss did not always want her actions and private life to be displayed all across the country.


     In addition, both characters are not only Cinder chooses to stay in the dark and in hiding as does Katniss. Both characters do it mainly for the same reasons. Katniss hides from the government as they try to track her down, and Cinder hides from the queen who wants to kill her. Because both characters share a similar conflict/situation, this results in similar actions and responses. When two characters share similar personalities, and then they also share similar situations, they are most likely to react the same way. It makes it wasier for the reader to predict what may happen.
