What is the significance of loyalty in the book "The Hunger Games?"

The importance of loyalty is a consistent theme in The Hunger Games series. Katniss is fiercely loyal to her friends and family, and it is her commitment that drives much of the action of the book and part of her rebellion against the Capitol. One example of Katniss's loyalty is her decision to volunteer for the Hunger Games in order to protect her younger sister Prim. Katniss is also loyal to Peeta and Rue within the Hunger Games; she risks her life to get lifesaving medicine for Peeta, and comforts Rue at the end of her life by singing to her, even though the sound could have gotten her killed. Additionally, her loyalty to Peeta inspires her to create their feigned double-suicide attempt in order to save both of their lives. Katniss becomes a contestant in the Hunger Games and risks her life due to her commitment to the people she cares about, and at the end of the book she even defies the powerful Capitol in order to save the life of her friend.
