What does friendship symbolize in the hunger games?

Love is represented in many ways in The Hunger Games. One way is Katniss risking her life to get food for her family by going out in the woods to hunt, which is illegal. Another way love is represented is when Katniss took her sisters place in the reaping when Prim's name was called for her to go into the arena. Katniss also helped a little girl while she was in the arena. (The girls name was Rue.) While in the arena, Katniss cares for Peeta and risks her life to get the medicine he needs t survive. And in the end of the actual Hunger Games challenge, Peeta and Katniss where willing to both die than to let the other die in order to live them selves. So they both grabbed a handful of poisonous berries that would kill them as soon as they hit their stomachs and chewed them. They didn't know what would happen next but the announcer told them to spit them out and they did. And in the end, they both survived the Hunger Games, becoming victors. Together. <3
