Body Paragraph Example Adhering to many of the rules in Laurence Gonzales’s “Everyday Survival” Article, Katniss increases her chances for survival. For instance, she does “the Next Right Thing” following the death of Rue, “I give myself a series of simple commands to follow, like ‘Now you have to sit up, Katniss. Now you have to drink water, Katniss.’ I act on orders with slow, robotic motions. ‘Now you have to sort the packs, Katniss’ ...Now you have to hunt, Katniss, I tell myself” (240-1). By getting her brain to think sequentially with directed action, she is focusing on surviving rather than dwelling on the trials she has already faced. She is preparing herself for the next round of eventualities, which in turn will allow her to react swiftly and decisively. It may seem simplistic, but these basic commands aid Katniss in the competition.
