Mocking Jay

Mocking Jay is the third book in the trilogy of The Hunger Games, by Suzzane Collins. This book was the book that let out all the answers that the lovers of this series want to know. After Katniss blew up the force field and was captured by the rebels of thirteen (including Haymitch). She learns that everybody in her prep team and everybody who had been helping her in her journey throughout the Hunger Games had known that they would capture her at the end of the quarter quell.

           

In this book, Katniss experiences the ultimate losses. The captital got to Peeta before she could, and they hijacked his brain, so that every living memory that he has with Katniss, is a bad one. Many people die. People who are close to her, and people who she might’ve killed herself. A war had raged through all the districts, and everybody is looking towards the mocking jay for help in these hard times. All she has to do is play the part, and stay alive.

I think that this book was amazing. Everybody who I've talked to, have hated the book. I can se why, but I don't think that it was the worst. It was a little slow moving, and some thing happened a little too much. I personally think that Suzanne Collins killed off too many characters. She killed Boggs, Finnick, Cinna, and even Prim. I think that all these characters who were most important to Katniss, and she just killed them . In the end, the only person that she had left was Peeta. 

I think that there is a theme in this story. You don't want somebody to decide your fate for you, you want to make sure you can decide your fate. For example, in the end in the execution of President Snow, Katniss decides to kill Coin instead. Coin had been playing her from the beginning and was going to kill her the next chance she got.  I think this is important because you want to make decisions for yourself, not let anybody make them for you. You want to be able to be your own person, just like Katniss wanted to be.
