A significant moment in my book is when Cornillus is chosen to be a mentor to a tribute in the hunger games. This is what starts the whole story. This event is what makes Cornillus want to strive for greatness in the book

Cornillus’s motivation in the story is to keep his family afloat and maintain his social status. To try and do this he pretends to have more money than he does so his peers will think highly of him. He also tries to have excellent grades in school to get more opportunities for money to help his family.
