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

little scale war in which each one locale battled the others, and each one region additionally battled itself. Presently the Hunger Games may be previously, however the genuine fight is on. The Games enclosure has been replaced with the Capitol itself, and Katniss and her group need to utilize the same sorts of methods they depended on the middle of the Games. More lives are in question, however, and they have much more to lose this time. Peeta was caught by the Capital and has been deceived to surmise that Katniss had murdered his family and everybody he adores. The disobedience to the Capitol is beginning and Katniss Everdeen is the mockingjay (pioneer of the resistance), yet the Capitol attempted to murder off 13 again by bombarding it. When 13 had at long last took back alternate areas they began a war against the Capitol. District 13 at last assumed control over the Capitol and President Snow was caught on the grounds that Katniss said she would execute him. Katniss shot the bolt to murder Snow yet she executed Coin (President of District 13). They took Katniss again to District 12 to realize that her younger sibling Prim passed on. Peeta and Katniss had children and carries on with a content life in District 12. As Katniss’ children grown up she will tell them the stories of how she had become the Mockingjay and all the bad times she had while she was being targeted by the Capitol. Significant Passages and/or Quotes & Analysis “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins (629 words) "Katniss, I'm [Gale] not arguing. If I could hit a button and kill every living soul working for the Capitol, I would do it. Without hesitation...The question is, what are you going to do?" This is something everybody had needed to listen. At last Katniss conceding her part as the mockingjay. Katniss has dependably been known as a mockingjay, however this quote has an alternate importance. She is resolved to turn into the part of giving trust and turning into a pioneer for the whole revolt power. This is a huge part, actually for the condition she is in. Long ago, her locale was pulverized by aircraft and she was in the Hunger Games executing different contenders. How she figures out how to keep these memories is a wonder, yet it was her fate to take her part as the mockingjay. "Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where I told you to run, so we’d both be free. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you Coming to the tree Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree." This is the last two stanzas in a melody that has been taught to Katniss when she was extremely youthful. It has dependably been in this set of three. What is exceptionally huge about the last two stanzas is that it reflects the life of Katniss and the occasions that encompass her so well. First off, the first stanza notice "Where I let you know to run, we'd both be free." This symbolizes the upset that is going on at this moment between the Capitol and the Rebels. The conviction is that on the off chance that we drive out the Capitol, Panem would be liberated of the awful Capitol. In the second stanza, it says "Wear a neckband of rope, side by side with me." This means the how Katniss is needing all of the Rebels to join with her in this Revolution.
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
heat left to fuel her. She lacks hope, seeing what has become of the people of Panem, how they kill their neighbors all because of the Capitol.
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
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...
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 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.
Katniss’ act of defiance near the end of the novel with attempting to have her and Peeta eat the poisonous berries to assure there will be no single winner of the games, sparked a fiery rebellion in the districts. That same flame that was in the hearts of the people of America in the 1770’s is shown in this fictional story burning hot in the hearts of the nation of Panem’s citizens. As the books carry through the series, the reader can see that Katniss did the people a favor and sparked progress towards a better life for them. Eventually, the districts win the rebellion and gain reliable government leaders. The story of Katniss in The Hunger Games reaffirms Wilde’s claim, proves disobedience to be valuable, and promotes social
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...
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 the novel The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins a new country is created. Panem is born in place of North America, were the Hunger Games began. In the Hunger Games, there are 24 tributes. Tributes are people who live in the districts. The tributes in the Hunger Games are all the same. They kill one another and become the Capitols puppets. The tributes become violent, emotionless puppets. Then there is Katniss. Katniss is an excellent hunter and becomes lethal during the games. However, she has not lost her compassion. Katniss does not think of herself as a good person. When in reality she is a good person with a large heart, who puts others before herself.
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
Rebellion and Resistance Literary Analysis “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins delves into a dystopian world where the citizens of Panem are hegemonized by the brutal Capitol folk. Collins also dives into the theme of rebellion and defiance, displaying how Katniss Everdeen is a central pillar of defiance, and showing her motivations that cause her to be a forerunner for change. The book demonstrates how Katniss started to rebel against the Capitol with the purest intentions. Over time, with the help of Peeta and her bond formed with Rue, she evolves into somebody who purposefully wants to stick it to the Capitol and defies for that very reason: to defy for the vengeance of Rue. Katniss Everdeen has been the provider for her family since her
...completely different lives.The over powerful Capitol is to blame for this cruel injustice. For the most part the people of Panem seem to have come to accept this fact and just do what they can to get by. Peeta and Katniss are different. They prove that people from district 12 aren’t worthless but have the ability to win the games. They show that their gender does not determine or constrain what they have the ability to do. Through out the book, Peeta and Katniss teach people a lesson by continuing to challenge the status quo of Panem.
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.
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
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
