Theme Statement & Analysis of “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins (407 words)
District 13, an insubordinate underground region that was thought to be annihilated by the Capitol 75 years back, needs Katniss Everdeen (the principle character) to be the Mockingjay, the image of the defiance. The whole time to turn into the Mockingjay she needs to experience, ruthless preparing and make troublesome choices and reparations, some more awful than others. In any case, after watchful thinking and arranging, she at long last chooses to turn into the Mockingjay. The war in Mockingjay is an augmentation of the fights in the Hunger Games coliseum pictured in The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Some time recently, the scale of war was much compact, yet generally as deadly. The two tributes from each one area were typical of their areas all in all, making a

In the book, there are still a few Districts in Panem that are still under Capitals control. Being the mockingjay, she can help persuade Districts to unite with the Rebels in District 13. Katniss wonders what Peeta would think about Gale’s war tactics, particularly about killing or imprisoning the wounded should they fight back. This demonstrates that Katniss is more likely to align herself with Peeta rather than with Gale. No matter the circumstances, Peeta has always tried to play by his own moral rules rather than the deceitful and dirty rules established by the Capitol. Gale, on the other hand, is driven by his anger.Katniss recognizes the strong presence of her father during the bombing of the Nut, recalling the events of the night spent by the mine waiting for him to surface. He was present in Katniss’ ability to quiet the mockingjays in an earlier propo, as well as when she sang “The Hanging Tree” song, and now she sees him in the character of Boggs when Boggs wraps her in blankets. Again, Boggs cares for Katniss as a father would.The theme of hot and cold is strong in this chapter. Katniss feels as if she has no heat left in her blood to fight. Even the marble surfaces in the Justice Building take the heat away from her. Ironically, Katniss, who is supposed to be “the girl on fire,” has no more
When her and her ally and love interest Peeta reach the center of the Arena in which they are fighting for their lives, they not only run into their biggest rival – another boy named Cato who had been set up throughout as a villain – but also the murderous creations of the those who put them there. It is a gruesome fight that results in Cato’s horrifying death, and the survival of Peeta and Katniss, but only one of them can live. This ultimatum drives Katniss to take a calculated risk: if both of them die, the Capitol has no winner, and the games must always provide a glimmer of hope for effective control, thus if they threaten suicide, they can both get out alive. It works, and they are delivered from the belly of the
The movie The Hunger Games, originally based on a book by Suzanne Collins, is about a place called Panem, which is ruled by the Capitol and has 12 districts within it. These 12 districts are separated founded on their economic statuses, meaning the higher the district, the more impoverished the residents are. There are 2 tributes that are chosen to participate, forcibly, in The Hunger Games each year. Each competitor is instructed to eliminate one another in order to survive and come out on top. There is only one tribute allowed to come out of the arena alive. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the most impoverished district of them all, and she volunteers as tribute in “the Reaping” when her sister is chosen to participate. She and the other tribute from her district, Peeta, make it into the arena with the hopes that one of them comes out the winner and above all else, alive (Ross, 2012). I will refrain from going any further just in case you have not read the book or have not seen the movie. In terms of soci...
In addition, at the end of the Games, Katniss and Peeta are left with the question of either killing each other or both killing themselves. Collins says that after everyone is killed, the decision of the victor of the Hunger Games lies between Katniss and Peeta, both tributes from District Twelve; even though either tribute would be willing to give up their life for the other, they both decide to kill themselves after becoming fed up with the Games (344-345). Peeta and Katniss are so emotionally unstable from everything they have experienced with the Games that they both choose to die with each other. Furthermore, if an adolescent manages to survive the harsh war environment, they must still continue to fight the mental effects of the
Summary: The Mockingjay is the third book in the Hunger Games series and is the final book to the series. In this book, Katniss Everdeen and her family and friends start to live in a strict new world now as District Thirteen. There were thirteen districts at first and then a war between District Thirteen and the Capitol began. The Capitol lost and they came to an agreement that District Thirteen would act as if they had lost but in exchange got their own land. After District Thirteen stole Katniss from the 75th Hunger Games arena the Capitol bombed Katniss’s district and they had to move to District Thirteen and begin a new life under tight lockdown of the district in fear of attack. Katniss is asked to pose as the Mockingjay which is the face of the rebellion. In exchange for her work she asked for some of her friends in the Capitol to be granted immunity from the war crimes that all people in the Capitol will face. After Katniss poses as the Mockingjay she then leads all of the twelve districts into rebellion. The only city left is the Capitol, in the center of the country. She is led into urban warfare in the Capitol and Finnick (one of the previous Hunger Games members) is killed. After she reaches the president’s mansion she sees a hovercraft approach and drop care packages to kids that are actually bombs and Katniss’s sister, Prim dies in the explosion while helping the children. Once they captured the president they begin to film Katniss killing the president, but instead kills the president District Thirteen because she dropped the bombs on the children while killing her sister. After she kills President Coin the late leader of District Thirteen she is relocated to the ruins of District twelve and Peeta (her husband) is th...
The saga continues when Kutniss Everdeen, the “Mockingjay,” and District 13 wager war against the autocratic Capitol.
The Hunger Games are one of the most emotional, viscous and cruel books I’ve read before. But both heroes Katniss and Peeta have survived to live the next day. They are both winners and Katniss lives to feed her family once more. It was a fantastic book of amazing features, characters, themes and creativity.
Every year, 24 "tributes" are chosen to participate in "The Hunger Games"; a televised ultimate death match of teenagers. There are twelve districts, (like states) that the "tributes" are chosen from. Two from each district, a boy and a girl, ageing between twelve and eighteen. Katniss Everdeen, our main character, is believed to be strong, fierce, and loving. She makes the ultimate sacrifice-volunteering her life in the Hunger Games- in place of her younger sister, Primrose Everdeen. Chosen alongside her in her district, Peeta Mellark is a handsome, caring intelligent, artistic fellow. You also have the other 22 "tributes", from the other eleven districts, participating in the 75...
...e within her are for the most part very obvious, especially the changes concerning her level of political involvement. By the end of the book, she is no longer passive toward the horrors of the Capitol. Instead, she takes steps to defy them, to show the Capitol that they don`t own her. We also see a huge difference in the way she approaches things. Her original impulsive tendencies are not as prominent toward the end of the story and her ability to make rational decisions has greatly improved. The Hunger Games are responsible for the majority of this change but her friends also play a crucial role in shaping her into the strong defiant character that she is in the end. The old has gone, the new has come. Katniss is lit with a fire that gives her the strength and determination necessary defy the capitol and make a difference in her broken world, a fire of revolution.
The reaping is when a male and female tribute is chosen from each district. When the day of the reaping arrives, a surprise tribute is chosen. Which is Prim Katniss little sister (20). Prim’s name has only been entered once (21). Katniss cannot comprehend what has happened. Her chances were very slim. Katn...
The Winners of the 74th Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark! District 12 was proud that both their tributes were able to come home after the games, giving the District a total of three victors. Katniss and Peeta returned to semi normal lives. They both had a house in the Victor’s Village with only Haymitch for a neighbor. Peeta devolved a cold shoulder to Katniss, after Katniss basically told Peeta on the train that was acting about her feelings for him during the games. Where for now the cameras were off them, but only for a while. Katniss and Peeta will always been under the cameras of the Capitol, it’s only a question on how long till they snap.
Since she is the female victor from district 12, she is in the 74th Hunger Games. She sees how painful and scary it is and so she tries to stop the capital which is who is controlling everything. She doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else. She rebels against President Snow in plan of eventually killing him to take over the capital and change the world. Teens can relate to this because a lot of the time we feel controlled. It might be by a parent, teacher, grandparent or someone else but all of us are controlled by someone. A lot of teenagers end up rebelling because they feel as if they have no choices. They go against the rules of who they are rebelling against. That persons rules and values are not necessarily right. Who decides what is right? It seems as if we have entered into a state time where there is no right and wrong. Katniss breaks free of that control and does her own thing. Another way teens can relate to the hunger games is through the love triangle. Some of us might have a similar situation of where we might like two people. In the movie it says, “What I need is not Gales fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can
Katniss and her fellow member of District 12, Peeta, make it to the final two tributes remaining. They are encouraged to kill each other, but refuse to do so out of love. Katniss and Peeta agreed to commit suicide together to disobey the rules of the Capitol. This is the nadir, or low point, of Katniss Everdeen. She has been left no option but to kill herself along with her partner. This is where her powerful resurrection takes place. Just before ending their lives, they are stopped by one of the creators of the Hunger Games arena. It is then announced that under the circumstances, they would allow both Peeta and Katniss to be victors of the Hunger Games. This gives a very large sense of relief, and both Peeta and Katniss emerge
District 12 is where Katniss and Peeta are from. District 12 is a coal-producing district that is extremely impoverished. Most people living in this district have to work really hard just to keep some food on the table. During the games this completely changes how they are treated. Only one tribute from district 12 has ever won the games. They are normally the least popular and get the bad trainers an...
I volunteer as tribute!” pg. 22 was the first sign of the discipline Katniss Everdeen possesses. Katniss was backed up against the wall, her sister was being sent off to die, so Katniss reacted. The reaping was a substantial turning point that molded the attitude used by Katniss to win the games. She established herself as a legitimate threat in the games at this point because of her fearlessness to protect her family. Further evidence suggests that Katniss was able to volunteer because of Gale. Gale is needed because someone has to support the Everdeen Family through this tough time. Katniss knows her mother is not strong so someone needs to be there in case she falls apart again. She is also prepared for the game, whether or not she knew it is a different story. She has the tools needed to survive in a hostile environment, this is because she is from
The main character, Katniss, volunteers as tribute for her district to save her sister from having to be tribute. Upon arriving in the Capitol for the games, she sees just how vast the gap between the Capitol and districts are. To fight against this class struggle, she begins to revolt. At first this comes in the form of small things, like shooting an arrow at a pig feast of Capitol higher-ups and refusing to kill her friend in the games, resulting in the first ever co-victors of the Hunger Games. Katniss’ actions soon lead to full blown rebellion in the districts, starting a revolutionary war between them and the Capitol. At one point Katniss remarks: “My ongoing struggle against the Capitol, which has so often felt like a solitary journey, has not been undertaken alone. I have had thousands upon thousands of people from the districts at my side.” (Catching Fire 90). In true Marxist fashion the working class needed to use a violent revolution to confront the class struggle against the ruling
