MOCKINGJAY Ladies and gentleman of the jury I find the book mocking jay by Suzanne Collins in 2010 to be very good at keeping me in suspense and keeping me interested. However, there were areas in which the book was not quite as good such as giving all the details, being too violent, and isn’t good for little kids. The book is a good book and I liked it but I didn’t like it as much as I did the first 2 books and this last book disappointed me. I was expecting some amazing ending to the series of the hunger games but I was let down from the things that happened in the book. Mocking jay is just a sad book that doesn’t even seem humane for the capitol to be doing to all of these different districts. In the book the parts that I like in …show more content…
After everything that was explained at the end I wanted to read the rest of the story and I wished that there was another book to read. I loved the ending because it made me want to keep reading even though I was disappointed with it not going on but that is why I loved the book. In everything that I had read there were many things that were good and there were a lot of things that I hated but after the end and the way that they made me want to keep reading on. The other thing that I love in the book was on page 176 when Katniss reunites with Peeta and he wakes up it is crazy how he survived with everything that Katniss thought the capitol would do to him. Luckily the only thing that the capitol did to Peeta was pretty much brainwash him into believing that Katniss is the bad person in the situation and he remembers terrible things she did. This is another twist in the book and the way that they tell the story is very good and it helps me comprehend the story. I loved this part of the story it was my favorite part in the book because it was a cute story and it completed the whole story. There are some other things that I did not like in the book the first one was on page 232 when Katniss says “Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent, disturbed, manipulative, deadly. And I hate him for it.” The way that she feels that she is violent is kind of
Yes I would recommend this book. It's sort of dark and twisted but it's still interesting reading about the characters development throughout the story and how Katniss and peeta's relationship grows," to this day I can never shake the connection between this boy Peeta Mellark." The author made up great characters and wrote a perfect story to fit them, and the quote represents
Until page 50 it was a perfect beginning , and I had a good time in reading this pages and a lot of something to learn and something make me feel interest, such as, the deep description of the characters, places, and even food which made me feel the moment and as if I were living with them. Also, the way that the author had depicted how people suffered because of the hanger and poverty. Another thing that I want to notice about is that girl – Katniss – who was the ideal sister and daughter, when she prefers to go to The Hunger Games instead of her sister – Prim- ,and when she takes care of her ill mother. Furthermore, while all the bad things that happened to her and all the responsibilities that placed on her, but it didn't prevented her
To Kill a Mockingbird is an amazing book filled with life lessons. It gives the chance to realize how horrible people can be and how injustice can fit into the world. Though most people will leave the book with a different conclusion. It is probably safe to say everyone will have a positive conclusion and a new frame of mind. To Kill a Mockingbird is truly a
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is good book about how Katniss Everdeen goes through her life on the run from the Capital. After the second Hunger Games, Katniss gets pulled out and brought somewhere she didn’t expect. In District 13 Katniss is along with the rest of the rebels inspired by her. All of her friends that were in the games with her got rescued all except Peeta. Katniss is heartbroken and wants to go back to save Peeta and kill President Snow. Snow is the one that created the games and put her in all of this mess. She wants her revenge. Later on in the book they successfully save Peeta, but he is not what he was. He has been mentally changed in the capital. With Peeta in this state Katniss is hates Snow even more. A friend
One dislike I had with the book was some of the romance that lasted too long on page 128. It was also mostly awkward the whole time, like when Kyle said weird stuff like, “Your hand is so small.” and other eccentric actions. Another dislike I had was the ending itself. It was extremely predictable that Cammie’s mom would save her in the end. The last thing I disliked in the book was the character of the deputy in the book, ““Kill two birds with one stone. You can be the birds,” she murmured wanting him to fly away. “I’m the stone.”” He was just there in the book and just gets denied by Cammie and really does nothing
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" (Lee 30). Atticus Finch says these words to his daughter, Scout, after he elucidates to her why it is important to not be quick to judge a book by its cover . In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mocking Bird, the main conflicts are centered around prejudice. In the tiny town of Maycomb, everybody is set on tradition and there is no room for oddity. Atticus Finch breaks down the walls that everybody else builds up about first and lasting impressions, slowly but surely. Atticus Finch is a discreet example of practicing equality because he espouses the outcasts of Maycomb.
In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird events and conflicts take place causing changes in characters. Some of the characters that are changed include Mrs. Dubose, Jem, Scout, and even Mr. Arthur Radley. Each of these events has a background to help change the characters. Mrs. Dubose is helped to change her charter in the novel by Jem reading to her, Aunt Alexandra comes to live with Atticus, Jem, and Scout changing Scout’s character, and Arthur Radley’s character is changed by the event of Jem and Scout being attacked by Bob Ewell.

This is what is really able to hook readers into the book and makes them want to keep reading more and more of the stories. It was written specifically so that the reader feels like they are right there experiencing the Hunger Games and uprising along with her. This can cause a reader to feel a deep emotional connection with her and the other characters she is close to and makes them want to keep constantly reading because they are worried about her and need to see what will happen next. While reading the reader is able to really feel her emotions and understand her thought process fairly clearly throughout. This also sends a powerful message to young girls as it was one of the first dystopian novels to feature such a strong female character.
Atticus Finch belongs to a very, very small minority. He is one of the very few human beings who does not hate Hitler. Of course, he does not like the universally hated historical figure, but merely dislikes him. This is a major theme of Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird. One can never, without exception, hate a man. Harper Lee promotes the idea that hatred is never acceptable by creating situations with literary devices like characters, settings, and plots that demand empathy.
“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a novel about people in the 30’s who show a number of different themes. Firstly, maturity is shown a lot near the end of the novel and during Tom Robinson’s trial. Secondly, racism is a huge part of this novel because a lot of people were judgemental and didn’t approve other races. Lastly, loyalty appears throughout the novel, especially during the trial. Many people in have really grown to be much better people as a result in these challenging times.
Characterize Miss Maudie Atkinson (characterization = personality traits, actions, thoughts/feelings, other people’s points of view). How typical is she of Maycomb’s women? What do the children think of her?
When Katniss was sent to visit Peeta in his room to see if he was getting better, I felt very anxious about what could happen next after she entered the room. The speech given to the 13 Districts before they entered the outer cities of the Capitol was a very moving speech because the view of the people together was a powerful picture of what Panem could look like once they take over. Also, when Katniss and her team came face-to-face with the mutts, it made me feel unease because of the diegetic sound of the mutts calling Katniss’s name. Even, the eye-line match of Katniss seeing this black liquid swallow everything it its path made me feel panicked. The history of what the Capitol looked like and the environment it was in when they were shooting footage, was not the same. The buildings were deserted and that helped the plot move forward to what major thing was going to happen next. All the fancy things that the people in the Capitol were accustomed to would be taken away from them, unlike the history they
Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, imagines a world where people are divided by district just like the real world does with the high, middle, low classes. This book is full of themes, literary devices and also talks about how the government — in this case the Capitol — oppresses their citizens.
