On August 9, 2014,a young man by the name of Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer.

The mockingjay is one of the symbols that represent a resistance in The Hunger Games. The mockingjay starts as a token for Katniss to keep during the Games to remind her of District 12 and the people there. The mockingjay is a product of the jabberjay and the mockingbird. Originally, the jabberjays were supposed to spy on the rebels and give the information back to the District, but the jabberjays ended up giving false information to the Capitol. The pin represents an anti-Capitol and anti-Games. The jabberjays were left to die off but

Williamson, J and Goldman, R claimed that semiology can be used as a method to help “penertrate the apparent autonomy and reality of adverts, in order to reveal their ideological status” (Rose, 2001:71). Alongside the use of semiotics to break down an image/sequence Affect can be used to help show the hidden meanings and ideas within the image. Helping the viewer understand the world around them through the signs and signifiers that mainstream media has created. This is shown in the Hunger Games- The Mockingjay Part 1 scene (50:08- 52:29) I have analysed. With Semiotics and Affect I have been able to uncover and understand the hidden themes and double meanings of specific elements, dialogue and objects within specific frames within this scene.

The use of symbolism in both texts draws out the struggle of power, containment and corruption. Collins firsts introduces the Mockingjay pin which was given to Katniss by Madge, the mayor’s daughter before she departed to the Capitol. A Mockingjay is a hybrid bird and its lineage can be traced back to a bird called the Jabberjay, which were genetically engineered by the Capitol to spy on the 13 Districts by overhearing conversations and repeating

In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the fire in chapter 8 symbolizes a form of prejudice as it burns down the snowman. A lot of the symbolism in this book stems from the prejudice taking place against the black population in Indiana. Some of this is issued when it snows for the first time since 1885. The children make a snowman out of leftover snow and some dirt. This represents the teamwork between the Finch family and the black community. The snow brings out the innocence of children.

Before, she was being exploited by the Capitol, and now she's being used to fulfill her role as the Mockingjay for a group that is attempting to destroy the Capitol. In both cases, she's playing a part that someone else wrote. During the Hunger Games, Katniss became associated with the Mockingjay symbol because of the Mockingjay pin she used as a token in the Hunger Games arena. Mockingjays were never meant to be created, much like Katniss was never meant to survive the hunger games. These birds were not a part of the Capitol's design and instead they made the capitol look foolish as Katniss

Katniss defied the will of the Capitol with the mocking jay pin which was a circular token that was given to her by Madge, before she entered The Hunger Games to represent District 12. Katniss also became the symbol of revolution because they referred to her as the mocking jay or the bird of resistance and rebellion. Because she was the only one willing to stand against the capitol when she saw that something wasn't right. Katniss and Rue later use the whistling of the mocking jays in The Hunger Games to make sure that each other was live and well. Unfortunately, later we do see Rue lose her life where Katniss then sings with the mocking jays to grieve her passing through the forest.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 is the beginning of the final installment of the cinematic adaption of the young adult book series by the same title. The film picks up shortly after the conclusion of the previous film, with Katniss and fellow victors Finnick and Beetee having been safely rescued from the 75th Hunger Games arena. They are transported to an underground facility beneath the destroyed District 13, where a rebel army has been gathering supplies and training for another fight against the Capitol in attempt to overthrow President Snow and his dictatorial regime.

A series of mini-battles ensue, making it evident that the Capitol is slowly losing its iron grip over the Districts. Katniss’ main concern is Peeta, whom the Capitol captured in the Hunger Games arena, and is using as a propaganda tool in

Genre: The genre of the story “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins is most likely to be science fiction because in the story they use futuristic things that are not here today in our world. In the story, Katniss receives a bow and arrow that is “living.” Katniss said she can “feel it” as if it were alive. Also, in the story Katniss says “Good night” to her bow and she felt it go still, which meant it was “sleeping” Point of View: The point of view of the story Mockingjay is first person.

The plot type that fits the two novels I read is overcoming the monster. Overcoming the monster is when a hero learns of great evil overshadowing the land – sometimes not his own land and with special equipment and/or weapons, the hero heads out and defeats evil to free the land (…). The five stages that this plot type include are the anticipation stage and call, dream stage, frustration stage, nightmare stage, and the trilling escape from death and death of monster (…). The hero of the novel will then emerge victorious and receive a “treasure” or “prize”. While following a common angle of war, Katniss Everdeen and Tris Prior, the main characters of Mockingjay and Insurgent, head out to destroy evil that is taking over the city they live in.
