Symoblism of The Mockingjay

Mockingjay


I chose to read this book because after finishing the second book it was such a cliffhanger I just had to read the third book.  In the third book beginning it shows that their was a strong district 13 ready to attack the capitol.  Katniss is still shocked by the quarter quell and everything that has happened.  District 13 decides that Katniss will be the Mockingjay.  Katniss has to make commercials that would be on t.v. for all the districts to see.  They did this so that they could gain strength in the rebel army.

Being the Mockingjay was a symbol for all of the districts.  The symbol was that she will help them destroy the capitol.  Doing a commercial Katniss witnesses a building being destroyed by the Capitol.  In the commercial of the hospital bombing she calls for justice.  After reading part of this book I have really enjoyed it and cannot wait to see what happens next.

Book Review

In the end of Catching Fire I was not expecting it to have an ending like it did.  The author really surprised me with this ending like she did in the first book.  When it turned out that a lot of people were against the capitol.  When Katniss thought she was attacked by Johanna and got the tracker cut out of her arm and realized she didn't actually get attacked.  The girl that cut out the tracker was actually with the capitol. Then when she shot the force field with the arrow I thought that it was so clever.  When she woke up in the plane and realized that they were flying with the game maker, Haymitch and Peeta was captured by the capitol, I was so surprised.  Then I knew I would have to read the third book to figure out what happens.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books, dystopian novels, or action.  The writing style is very descriptive and can make you feel like you were there.  If you enjoy series with suspense I would also recommend this book.
