Title: Mocking Jay

Author : Suzanne Collins

Main Characters : Gale, Prim, Katniss, Haymitch, Coin, Pultarch, Delly, Boggs, Johanna, Jackson Katniss’s Mother, Snow and Finnick.

Description of one of the main characters: Coin is the President of District 13. Though District 13 was destroyed, the rebels went and lived in the underground. Coin wants to kill President Snow and take the place herself. She wants to be the President of Panem. She accepts Katniss as the Mocking Jay, the symbol of the rebels and the rebellion itself.

Whom I like and why: I like Johanna. She is very brave. She is from District Seven. She is athletic. She is kind. She doesn’t like people who tell false things. She is very helpful and fights very well. She was part of the last year’s Hunger Games. She was one of Katniss’s allies. She was the one who brought Beetee and Wiress to Katniss.

Whom I dislike and why: I dislike President Snow. He always tries to doom Katniss. He supports only for Capitol. He leaves messages to Katniss by keeping cold, white roses wherever Katniss goes. At last Katniss kills him. His grand daughter goes into the final Hunger games.

Setting/ theme of the story: Katnisss Everdeen accepts to be the Mocking Jay. She gives speeches and encourages everyone to keep fighting for freedom. Meanwhile the Capitol tries to destroy all the districts. They force Peeta and erase all his memories and fill him with memories like Katniss trying to kill him. Gale, Jackson, Boggs and the others save and bring them back to District 13. After treatments by Beetee, Peeta becomes normal. During one of the attacks, Boggs and Katniss’s sister Prim die. Katniss kills Snow. Coin also dies. There is just one more Hunger Games but all of  them came back alive from the arena. It is all happy. Katniss has won freedom for the people of Panem!

Part I enjoyed the most: I enjoyed the part when Gale saves Peeta from the Capitol. I also enjoyed the part when Katniss kills Snow.
