The Separation Phase starts with the Call to Adventure which is when Katniss’ younger sister, Primrose Everdeen, is chosen to be the tribute from District Twelve at the annual Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss volunteers as tribute to take the place of her sister which starts her journey. “Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper, and reads out the name in a clear voice It’s Primrose Everdeen”. “I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!” (page 25). Katniss does not refuse the call in this story. Katniss encounters her Supernatural Aid, Haymitch Abernathy, once she boards the train to go to the Capital for the games. Haymitch is her drunk mentor who is the only victor from District twelve. Haymitch

The Belly of the Whale starts when she gets trapped in a tree by the “career” tributes who are from the wealthier districts and train their whole lives for the games. She sees a tracker jacker nest (venomous mutant wasps) and drops it on the other tributes at the bottom of the tree. The tracker jackers attack the career tributes and kill a few and chases the rest away. The tracker jackers also sting Katniss multiple times which cause her to start hallucinating and passes out as she is on the verge of death. “The world begins to bend in alarming ways. A butterfly balloons to the size of a house then shatters into a million stars. Ants begin to crawl out of my blisters on my hands and I can’t shake them free. Tucking my knees up to my chin, I wait for death. Then the ants bore into my eyes and I blackout” (page 277). Katniss is saved by Rue, a little girl from District Eleven, who nurses her back to life with medicated leaves. Rue also helped Katniss by warning her about the tracker jacker nest above her head while they were both in the trees and told her to drop it on the other tributes. Rue is the Goddess in this story because she aided the hero and acted as her care giver. Campbell describes the goddess as “The mythological figure of the Universal Mother imputes to the cosmos the feminine attributes of the first, nourishing and protecting presence” (page 94).

The Magic Flight happens before she returns home to District 12 and is enjoying luxuries of the Capitol. Then Haymitch comes and tells Katniss that messing with the Capitol was a bad idea and that she needs to pretend that she is in love with Peeta to make the Capitol and other Districts think her suicide attempt was an act of love rather than an act of rebellion towards the Capitol. “Listen up. You’re in trouble. Word is the Capitol’s furious about you showing them up in the arena. The one thing they can’t stand is being laughed at and they’re the joke of Panem” “Your only defense can be you were so madly in love that you weren’t responsible for your actions” (page 417). Master of the Two Worlds, Katniss returns home to District 12 as a hero and her and her family live new lives in luxury. She doesn’t have to hunt or forage for her food or worry about providing for her mother and sister. Katniss and her family find a new sense of peace. Campbell says “The individual, through prolonged psychological disciplines, gives up completely all attachment to his personal limitations, idiosyncrasies, hopes and fears…His personal ambitions being totally dissolved, he no longer tries to live but willingly relaxes to whatever may come to pass in him; he becomes, that is to say, and anonymity” (page
