Mockingjay The book that I read was Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Mockingjay is a book about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, also known as the girl on fire, who is still alive after her home was demolished. Her close friend, Gale has also survived everything the Capitol has thrown at their district, district 12.
Katniss volunteers as tribute for Prim, Effie then calls out Peeta Mellark for the male tribute. Then Katniss and Peeta get on the train to go to the training
Katniss couldn't bear to see her sister in a brutal fight at such a young age. Katniss would step up and volunteer for her sister Prim as the girl tribute from District 12. Although she doesn’t have to answer the call as her name is not drawn, she steps up and accepts the challenge of protecting someone she loves. In the text, it says,” Anger flushes my face. “All right, I am going, and you can’t stop me”(269).In this text, Katniss is arguing with Peeta if she will go to the feast to get medicine.
Peeta proposes to Katniss in front of the entire country and they go crazy with excitement and happiness. As, they celebrate at the annual party at Snow’s mansion Katniss dances with Plutarch Heavensbee, the new Head Gamemaker. He shows Katniss a watch with a mocking jay this is the same thing that she wore at as a pin in the arena. Katniss and Peeta return to District 12 to get ready for the Harvest Festival. Mistakenly Katniss sees a broadcast that said an issue in District 8 had gotten more violent.
In a dystopian world, Collins and Vonnegut demonstrate a suppressive government that uses propaganda which is manufactured to control and manipulate citizens, creating the illusion of a perfect utopian society. In the dystopian book The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins shows how the government can gain control over its citizens with the help of propaganda. An example of this is when Katniss is explaining each school day in District 12, she mentions this: “Except for the weekly lecture on the history of Panem” (Collins 42). What Katniss is describing is the perfect form of propaganda in Panem, which is to start brainwashing kids at a young age so they start to believe what society tells them.
After her father died, her mother became so depressed that she stopped caring, which forced Katniss to gather food from hunting. She had little interest in boys before the games, and focused on supporting her family, but during the games she develops feelings for Peeta, and uncovers feelings for Gale, but still romance is not a main issue for her. Throughout the story she keeps her sense of identity and integrity. Peeta Mellark is the male tribute from District twelve.
The REAPING comes along and Effie pulls Prims name. Katniss writes history by saying these 4 words “I volunteer as tribute”. Then Peeta her love choice gets picked and they go with Haymitch and Effie to train and put in a pit of death. With the help of others Peeta and Katniss join forces to defeat 22 other people.

This really speaks to me because my sister who is older than me protects me from trouble and will even give up her life for my sake. This is very much like the book because Katniss will give up her life for her sister’s sake. This shows that love and family is very powerful and sometimes in order to protect the ones that they love, they must sacrifice
The Hunger Games is a dystopian fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. What used to be the Continent of North America, is now one nation called Panem. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen awakens on the day of the reaping, a process where a list of tributes, aged 12 to 18 years, are chosen from a bowl to participate in the Hunger Games. Our hero is from District 12, the remains of what used to be Appalachia. The Hunger Games is an annual contest in which teens fight to the death as a punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol.
We learn that the Capitol is strict towards the other districts and that each year, they pick 2 children from each district to fight to the death in The Hunger Games, until one remains. Katniss’s sister, Primrose, gets drawn to compete but Katniss volunteers as tribute. This small action starts the flame to the story of Katniss Everdeen.
The book talks about a girl named “Katniss Everdeen” a normal girl turned stone cold killer after she was enlisted into the hunger games after volunteering for her sister in the annual hunger games. The Hunger Games event includes 1 person from each 12 districts, and is a filming of all 12 people fighting to the death. She goes through many conflicts even before she gets into The Hunger Games itself, but her biggest conflict is when she meets a boy
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins An unforgiving destiny awaits Katniss Everdeen in a novel about survival of the fittest. Katniss is representing her District, number twelve, in the seventy fourth annual Hunger Games. The games are hosted by the country’s Capital, a corrupt totalitarian regime that thrives on the fear and weakness of its citizens. She’ll have twenty three fellow opponents, which she needs to kill in order to win. This event will be broadcasted live like reality TV, and when the games are finished the victor returns to their district in wealth and valor.
Do we live in a society where we are emancipated to do as we wish? Or are our actions dictated by basic economic factors? Karl Marx, a German philosopher who founded Marxism believes just that. His theory postulates that: "those groups of people who owned and controlled major industries could exploit the rest of the population through conditions of employment and by forcing their own values and beliefs onto other social groups." The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, provides the epitome of a society in which has developed to delineate Marxism.
