Her mom just zoned out for a long time after Katniss's dad died her mother would've just let Katniss and her little sister Prim die if Katniss didn't start hunting. So after that Katniss didn't care for her mom. For the annual reaping (picking of the teens) Katniss's sister gets called and Katniss would just not let that happen and volunteers herself.

Out of the 24 tributes two are Katniss Everdeen, and Petta Malark from district 12.
My Reaction
I feel so sad I didn't read this book before I think I really did miss out in life by not reading this before. Everyone knows where you read a book then you watch the movie and notice so many things that were different I did to. Like to people who did read the book and watch the movie Madge gives her the mocking jay pin not her sister. I really recommend reading this book to any type of person. I love realistic fiction, and nothing ales I was very surprised to find out this wasn't realistic fiction but science fiction. I think the most thought-provoking part was how Suzanne Collins had imagined about the future these amazing thoughts. Like the peace keepers (robots) but people. The actual thought of the hunger games a way to prevent war, the country once know as the U.S.A. in the future Panem. I just loved the book in general, I hope you do read it I recommend it to anyone, and I can't wait to read the next two (but not write a blog on it).
