Mockingjay
Haley Osborne Collins,Suzanne.Mockingjay.Scholastic Press:Scholastic,2010
Croft per.2 Independent Reading The genre of Mockingjay is fiction.The theme of Mockingjay is.The character I identified most with was Katniss because she stays sttrong through the book and she always puts her family and loved ones first. My favorite line in the book is “He looks down at his legs as if noticing his outfit for the first time. Then he whips off his hospital gown, leaving him in just his underwear. "Why? Do you find this" - he strikes a ridiculously provocative pose - "distracting?”I read this quote a million times and I laughed everytime I read it,this is by far my favorite quote. The theme of this book is trust and loyalty.This theme connects to the real world today for me, tohigh school. High school has many people sometimes you do not know who you can trust, but your real friends are always going to support you. The plot line of this story is non-linear beacause Katniss has a lot of flashbacks in the book. Katniss is a fighter but she also loves so many people that are in her life, she would give her kife for theirs.“Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.”This qoute displays that Katniss is tough but when she says this when talks about how wonderful and anmazing Peeta thinks she is but tells herself that is who she reallly is. Forshadowing ouccured in chapter one when Katniss can see the bomb dropping in chapter one.There were some unexpected twists in this book like how Peeta is brainwashed and Prim dies.I would recomend this to a friend. This story is one of the best stories told about betrayal, love, loss, and tradgedy I have ever

    Through the use of language techniques and character manipulation she portrays this contriving conviction to the reader. Katniss uses an imperative "Okay, I figured out what I'm asking," I say. "If it is Peeta and me in the Games, this time we try to keep him alive." To convey her wishes to save Peeta and the addition of the italics of the word “him” enhances the depth of her feelings. “And one of us is going to be victor again whether you two like it or not!” through the use of his indifferent tone Peeta conveys his courage to Katniss which also acts to empower her. He shows his courage, as he knows that he may not survive, as it is his plan to do anything possible to save Katniss just as she plans to do for him. This is where the major conflicting perspective lies between the two as they are both attempting to save the others life because of their resonating love. This is similar to the conflict between Brutus and Cassius where Brutus kills Caesar for the good of Rome “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” the use of juxtaposition accentuates the love that Brutus has for Rome just like the love Peeta and Katniss have for each other and how powerful a motivator this can be in any situation. Cassius on the other hand is motivated by his greed and jealousy “this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” The use of hyperbole and metaphor emphasizes this and resonates the conflicting motives between Cassius and Brutus. The Quarter Quell of the Hunger games sets the perfect background for Collins to shape the characters in a way that reflects her perceived viewpoint of conflicting perspectives which is also presented to the audience by Shakespeare in the events…

    She is characterzed by being a caring person who encourage ones around her to keep going no matter what. Im always there for people who ask for my help, and im also a caring person. The motivation that Katniss showed through her actions is away that I am when helping others, or in a bad situation. Not once in the movie did I see her give up on anything, even if she had gotten hurt really bad. She stuck to what she had to do or either what she was going to do in order to get things back to how they were. Even when it came to helping another team player, she didn’t see it as a threat which showed how caring she…
