Mockingjay: pages 101-390(end)

Nothing exciting went on during these pages. I know you would expect a lot but not really. So Katniss and Gale are in District 13 while Peeta is trapped by the capital and being trortured by Snow to get Katniss to surrender her alliance with the rebels. Katniss said she would be the mockingjay only with exceptions.

Katniss and Gale wanted to get actual action in the war against the capital. So the president of District 13 told them that they would be the face of the war. This means that they arranged a group of soldiers to go out into a district with Katniss and just film action shots only pretending to fight in the battle. When one of the members dies, the president sends another person to take his place. This person just happened to be Peeta. Just a few weeks ago however, Peeta tried to kill Katniss by choking her. The soldiers believed that the president was jealous of Katniss and wanted to get her killed by "accident" and having Peeta go was the perfect way to do it. Coin, the president of 13, just needed Katniss to unit the Districts which is what she did, now her job was done.

There are a lot of adventures that go through the shooting of the film. Katniss ends up actually fighting in the war and tries to take down the capital. I already ruined the whole book for you , but they ending you have to read yourself. This ending is great! It is the perfect way to end the series of the Hunger Games. I did not like on thing. I am going to spill, but remember how this whole war started? Katniss believed that the Capital was playing with the kids by putting them into the Hugner Games. Well towards the end of the book, Katniss votes to put all of the Capitals children into a Hunger Games and make them suffer like everyone else has in Districts. It was either they had the Hunger Games for just Capital children, they killed all the children, or let them free with no repremands. All of the victors go to choose, and Katniss chose the Games. The whole reason why they started this revolution is to end the games and the heirarchy in the Capital an Katniss just wanted them to basically start it right back up again. Do you also think this is a little hypocritical? I sure do!

  1. I read this series earlier in the semester and loved it! Although, I didn't find this last book very climactic....I think the first one is by far my favorite :) What book did you like best?
